Behind Beyond Tokyo
Beyond Tokyo began with friendships formed while studying in the UK and years of returning to Japan — into family homes, quiet towns and the slow everyday moments most travellers never see.
We create small-group journeys so Indian travellers can experience Japan the way we first did: warm, local, unhurried and deeply human.
Not invite-only. Not a club.
Just travellers who enjoy Japan — together.
We’re here to help.
