Japan Experience in the news

Kyoto: Living Japanese style!

By Didier Regnier, May 21, 2010

"We only want to go travelling to go to a beach and visit the spice market area one morning. Holidaymakers are seeking a feeling, to dive in and immerse themselves in the country that they visit, to mix closely with the people."

"There they are tour-operators who have taken this on-board - we can offer more, we can improve our offer - for example, Japan, 500 euros a week for a genuine Japanese house; a good way of living and travelling.

"The second thing we offer you is experiences, calligraphy courses in the evening or Japanese cookery courses where, for example, you can make the famous Bentos... It's the peacefulness of Kyoto that will surprise you"

Tourism has invented new guides

By Clotilde Briard, December 19, 2006

"The new Japan Experience concept offers an intermediate solution, why not relive the adventures of the hero of "Lost in Translation," in the film by Sofia Coppola. Independent accommodation in a traditional house or apartment in the capital or in Kyoto linked to the services of a "travel angel".

"People are asking for both freedom and safety". They increasingly want to feel part of a country by living like natives," notes Claude Saulière, creator of the agency Voyageurs au Japon, and former Chairman-founder of Voyageurs au Japon. With 16 homes, the concept that he has created is primarily aimed at families but also couples."

"The offer is very modern. The public are showing their desire for independence by increasingly wanting to rent apartments in European cities or share houses with friends abroad."

With the kids in the country of mangas

By Martine Guilcher, June 14, 2007

"A stay in the country of the Rising Sun is always a luxury. But we have found a way of going to Japan in a guest house, and taking our children, for the price of one week at Club Med!"

"A trip to Japan no longer falls under pure intellectual speculation but speculation that is too short! The hotel rates also have fallen, but are still beyond the price for a family. Just like in France. So why not do what you do in France? Rent accommodation! it is the inexpensive formula invented by the Voyageurs au Japon specialist."
 
"For less money than a chalet in season, we can enjoy a house in Kyoto or Tokyo. That just leaves the flight of course, but in the end, this incredible journey is much cheaper than a stay in an upmarket holiday club."
