Story

Explore Japan

Explore Japan is proudly owned and managed by Mihoko Hirashima, who has been creating Japan tours for over 20 years. 

Mihoko’s dream has always been to show Japan’s hidden gems and give her clients exciting tours. After careful planning, her dream became a reality with Explore Japan. She has gathered a team of local experts across Japan to create and manage tours, focusing on beautiful rural areas like Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. The Explore Japan team keeps growing as more members from different parts of Japan join us.

Mihoko and her team are dedicated to showing the beauty of rural Japan and giving travelers a chance to explore authentically. We offer guided tours as well as self-exploration options, so you can enjoy Japan at your own pace.
