HOW IT WORKS

Travel architecture, not travel agency

01

Tell us how you travel

Your pace, your interests, your non-negotiables. We listen before we plan.

02

We design your route

Day-by-day, activity-by-activity. Optimized for weather, distance, and local timing.

03

Travel with confidence

Real-time updates, nearby suggestions, and your architect a message away.

WHAT TRAVELERS SAY

Trusted by travelers who expect more

Destara planned every detail of our Tokyo trip — from hidden ramen shops to temples we never would have found. It felt like having a local friend.

Alejandro & Sofía GarcíaTokyo 2025
I've used travel agents before, but never one that understood what I actually wanted. Every single day was perfectly paced.
D
Diego R.Kyoto & Osaka 2025
The arrival guide alone was worth it. We landed in Paris knowing exactly where to go, what to skip, and where to eat. Zero stress.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

The things locals wish you knew.

Plug type, currency, emergency numbers, tipping etiquette — curated per city. The stuff a concierge would mention on day one, already in your pocket.

Know before you go · Tokyo
Safety

Tokyo is exceptionally safe at any hour. Keep your passport copy handy, not the original.

Etiquette

Shoes off in homes, traditional ryokan, and some restaurants. Bow, don't handshake. No tipping.

Tipping

Not customary anywhere. A service fee (10%) is included in high-end restaurants.

Emergency

Police 110 · Ambulance/Fire 119 · Tourist info 050-3816-2787

Currency

Japanese Yen (JPY). Cash still king at small shops — carry ¥10,000 in mixed bills.

Language

Japanese. English is written everywhere in Tokyo, less spoken — we've added the phrases you'll need.

Plug

Type A/B · 100V. US plugs fit; laptop chargers auto-adjust. No adapter needed for most.
