Yes. Beyond Taste Japan is a brand name owned by Smart Discovery Inc., a Japanese travel agency and Destination Management Company (DMC) registered under Business License Type II, Kanagawa Prefectural Governor Registered Travel Agency No. 2-1303 (神奈川県知事登録旅行業第2- 1303号).

We work differently from the general travel agency that operate on standard itineraries and prices. Every tour or activity is tailor-made according to your plan or set by the private event. After we finalize the trip details, you will receive and invoice with the accurate amount to be settled.

We typically arrange 7 or 10-seat comfortable vehicle, e.g. Toyota Alpha. We will fit the vehicle size to the number of travelers and luggage requirement. Because each group is private, the minimum fixed cost for the vehicle will be included in each package.

We have drivers and guides speaking different languages. Most demanded languages are English and Japanese. If you need a translator to speak your languages through the trip, please inform us during trip planning.

Every traveler is required to purchase travel insurance prior to the trip. You are required to provide valid proof of your travel insurance if you have purchased it by your own. Our company is a licensed travel agency and operator in Japan, so we follow strictly the legal requirements of the corresponding Japan travel regulation (旅行業法, 手配旅行契約).
