OVERVIEW

The founder of Takumi Holidays, Wyne, has been in the travel industry for more than 20years and has being crafting trips for international travelers to all over Japan. Over the years, he notices new age travelers are no longer 100% interested in just visiting touristic sights. Some of the best reviews given were whenever there were opportunities to interact with the locals. There is a desire shift from being a tourist to being a traveler. To Wyne, a REAL local experience is not something the locals changing their identifies to entertain travelers, but the travelers changing theirs to walk into the lives of the REAL locals. Thus the Idea of Takumi is born. “What if we could just connect the locals directly these new age travelers, easily?” It can be as simple as bringing travelers to their favourite local market. This is already special to travelers as it is what the locals do in their daily lives. (匠)Takumi is a highest status given to craftsman who excels beyond their area of speciality. (一期一会) Ichi-go Ichi-e means treasure each meeting as the last. Every meeting crafted by Takumi Holidays between the Hosts and Travelers should be the most precious experience they will every get in their lifetime. This beautiful relationship sets the foundation of our philosophy.
