Meet the driving force behind Japan Junket,
and hear from some of our Junketers.
Dayna has Junketed her way through Japan every year she’s been able since she first stepped foot in the country in September of 2016.
The unique beauty of Japan captivated her, and she dedicated the next 7 years of her life to the study of the Japanese language and its culture. Dayna’s passion for the country and the unique experiences it has to offer inspired many of her family and friends to embark on their own journeys to Japan, and with Dayna as their guide, each grew profoundly attached to the country and its vibrant culture themselves.
Their encouragement led Dayna to create Japan Junket, a specialist Japan travel agency dedicated to sharing her unique insight and connection with Japan, with others looking to experience it for themselves.

We differ slightly from a Travel Agency as you’re not locked into booking your flights and hotels with us. Our service fees go towards the planning of your itinerary, and the booking of the flights and hotels for that itinerary is a completely separate matter. When it comes to making final bookings, we have a couple of options, and you can opt for whichever method will get you the best price, or whichever is most convenient for you. If we can offer you the best price, or you don’t want to make the bookings yourself, we can book your flights and hotels on your behalf just like a traditional travel agency at no extra fee. But if not, we can instead direct you to the places that do have the best prices for you to book yourself. Either way, you avoid paying travel agency booking fees, and you get best prices! Because our priority is ensuring you get the most out of your trip to Japan.

We’ve travelled all over Japan, and every time we travel, we further enhance our ability to plan the best Japanese Itineraries for you. Our very first trip to Japan, despite months and months of research and planning, felt rushed. We had no personal experience to pull from to garner how much time to spend in each city, where to stay within those cities to maximize our time spent there, and no concept of how long and far the travel from city to city, or attraction to attraction would realistically be. It resulted in us missing out on some amazing experiences and not doing many of the cities we visited justice. Allowing us to do the planning for you means you’ll benefit from the learnings of our past mistakes, and guarantee you’ll get the most out of you time spent in Japan.
