If you are planning to visit Japan, let us help you. WAZA offers bespoke travel advisory services for South Africans travelling to Japan.

We combine the lessons learnt from others, with our own Japan travel experiences and knowledge gained over 21 years.

The purpose is to learn from and inspire others, and to share it in a useful way, so that fellow travellers can make the most of their visit to Japan.

WAZA Japan Travel offers three broad categories of travel services:

1. CHAT – an informal consultancy to give you advice and help you structure your thoughts around travelling Japan. This involves an informal 90 minute advisory session and costs R500. To book a session, please CONTACT us to confirm a time.
2. PLAN – co-development of custom itineraries if you want to travel independently. Depending on the assistance required, we charge a fee to cover the time and effort of our WAZA team in Japan.
3. GO – "WAZA & Friends" visit to Japan, where you become part of a small group of up to 8 travellers who accompany WAZA as it explores Japanese craftsmanship. Look out for the launch of the first WAZA & Friends trip in November 2025.
