Why Choose JaFun Taiyou?

Identity-Driven Travel (The “Era of You”)

  • Experiences shaped by who the traveler is:
    slow travelers, culture seekers, families, creatives, luxury explorers, first-timers

  • Journeys that feel personally meaningful, not generic

Travel becomes self-expression — JaFun Taiyou is the translator.

Sustainability as a Design Principle (Not a Buzzword)

  • Supporting local artisans, small businesses, and regional economies

  • Avoiding exploitative or over-touristed experiences

  • Designing slower, lower-impact routes

  • Educating travelers on cultural respect and responsible behavior

Travel that gives back — quietly, thoughtfully, respectfully.

What Our Clients Say About JaFun Taiyou

Hear from travelers who have experienced stress-free, personalized Japan adventures with us!

Our Mt. Fuji tour with JaFun Taiyou was an absolutely incredible experience, thanks to our amazing guide, Iyey! From the very beginning, she made sure everything was well-organized and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Japan’s most iconic mountain. Iyey’s knowledge of the area was outstanding—she shared fascinating stories, historical insights, and cultural tidbits that made the journey even more enriching. She knew the perfect picture moments and guided us to the best scenic spots, capturing stunning angles of Mt. Fuji that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Thanks to her, we now have the most beautiful and unforgettable photos of our trip! Beyond just sightseeing, Iyey’s kindness and thoughtfulness made the tour extra special. She surprised us with a lovely omiyage (souvenir), which was such a heartfelt gesture that truly reflected her hospitality. It’s those little moments that made this experience feel so personal and memorable. If you’re looking for a tour that’s not just about seeing the sights but also about creating lasting memories, I highly recommend JaFun Taiyou and the wonderful Iyey! This was easily one of the best parts of our trip to Japan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A truly unforgettable experience! Thank you, Iyey! From: Iris, Sam, Ivan and Karen

I've had the pleasure twice of having Soleil of JaFunTaiyou be my guide through two fabulous trips to Japan. Her services are crafted to the littlest details, and her aim is to give her clients the best experience. She answered all my questions, enrolled the help of experts such as Nakasendo Monster to accompany us on our Nakasendo walk. Her choice of hotels was exactly to my liking. She will go the extra mile to see that I was comfortable and happy.

I initially reached out to Soliel to create a 2 week trip for my daughter and I to celebrate her college graduation! In the process , we fell in absolute love with Japan, and with the very thoughtful, talented, highly responsive and creative, Soliel Ponce!

Our 3 city itinerary included an airport welcome with personalized welcome gifts, private cooking lessons, private gourmet food tours, event tickets, directions, excellent hotels, local support, and adventurous sight seeing experiences! Each and every adventure was top notch and extremely well planned with every attention to detail.

We felt supported throughout our entire exciting journey! Soliel gave us the dream vacation of our entire lives!

We have the most beautiful memories of Japan, and we made a forever friend in Soliel. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a wonderful human being, and the most incredible vacation planner I’ve ever used!
