Slow down to see Japan

From ryokans to remote temples, discover a world only locals could show you

Why travel to Japan with B&R?

Our deep local ties open doors few ever see

Perfectly Orchestrated

From the cherry-blossomed hills of Kyoto to forest bathing in Kyushu, every route is hand-shaped by our local experts—crafted for flow, beauty, and meaning.

Quiet Luxury, Redefined

Think tatami mornings and kaiseki dinners by lantern light. Japan’s refinement lies in the details—and we’ve curated every one of them.

Beyond the Guidebook

Our deep-rooted local connections bring you behind the noren curtain: private tea ceremonies, artist encounters, and countryside stays few travellers ever find.

Nature’s Harmony

Ride through bamboo groves, hike along ancient pilgrimage paths, or soak in onsen beneath snow-capped peaks—each moment a meditation on balance.

Seasons in Motion

Japan transforms with the seasons. Whether it’s spring blossoms, autumn maples, or winter’s soft hush, the landscape itself tells a story.

Uniquely Japanese

Every journey is an immersion in omotenashi—the art of wholehearted hospitality. Here, even the smallest gesture becomes unforgettable.
