Where Every Journey Becomes a Treasure.

Discover the true essence of Japan, the Oshinobi way.

We are local travel experts, curating the finest of Japan into authentic itineraries.

Japan is a well-known travel destination, easily explored through the internet and social media. However, its true essence emerges when experienced from a local perspective. From iconic sushi and Mt. Fuji to hidden gems known only to locals, we curate the finest of Japan into authentic itineraries that create lasting memories.

About Us

The word Oshinobi has a history rooted in Japanese tradition. For centuries, it described the practice of high-ranking individuals, including the emperor of Japan, hiding their identities and enjoying the pleasures of freedom, sometimes at local tea houses or bakeries. This practice, known as Oshinobi, is a tradition of experiencing life without limitations.

Oshinobi Travel brings this tradition into the modern era. We offer moments to escape from the everyday bustle and immerse yourself in culinary delights, cultural richness, and scenic landscapes. Traveling with us is not just a trip; it’s a deep dive into the true essence of Japan.

Hiroshi was wonderful to work with, customizing the trip to our specific budget and desired activities, coupled with his recommendations of things to do/see. The trip itself was outstanding. All the events he planned for us were excellent. We had a wonderful time. His work and planning made the trip much less stressful. I highly recommend using Hiroshi if you are interested in traveling in Japan.
