Is FTT Travel a licensed DMC?+
Yes. FTT Travel is licensed by the Travel Industry Authority of Hong Kong under Licence No. 354494 and works with vetted local partners for ground handling, private guides and stays. Every element is negotiated by a human curator.
How do I start planning a trip to Japan?+
Send an enquiry with the dates and travel party. A curator replies within one business day with an initial design concept for Japan, an estimated design budget, and questions to refine it. Nothing is booked until you approve the concept.
Do you arrange private guides in Japan?+
Yes — every private itinerary in Japan is delivered with in-person verified guides, drivers and hosts we've worked with directly. We don't resell third-party group tours.
How much does a private trip to Japan cost?+
Design budgets for Japan vary with season, party size and the stays chosen. Most bespoke itineraries start in the low four figures per person per day and scale up for private villas, chartered transport and rare experiences. We share an estimated design budget with every initial concept.
When is the best time to visit Japan?+
Every destination has shoulder seasons where the weather, crowds and access align. Your curator briefs on the specific windows for Japan once we know your preferred travel style — festivals, quiet solitude, family-friendly weather, or particular experiences.
Can I combine Japan with another destination?+
Yes — multi-country journeys are our default. Curators regularly combine Japan with neighbouring regions using private transfers, small-ship legs, or scheduled connections designed around your comfort, not the airline's timetable.
