All-inclusive pricing
The price you see covers the return flight, hotel, and travel insurance. Visa fees and optional excursions are listed separately, clearly, before you decide.
Package tours to Southeast Asia, Hawaii, Europe, Korea, and Taiwan. Flight, hotel, insurance, and visa support. All confirmed before you leave Japan.
Three nights at a mid-range riverside hotel in Bangkok, then four nights in Chiang Mai at a guesthouse in the Nimman area that we have used since 2018. The itinerary includes a half-day cooking class and a morning at Doi Suthep, both pre-booked. No compulsory shopping stops.
Based in Ubud for four nights, then two nights near Seminyak. We use a small villa property in Ubud run by a local family; the rooms are not large but the garden is quiet and the breakfast is cooked to order. Transfer between areas is included.
Direct flight via JAL from Kansai International. Hotel in Waikiki with a partial ocean view, confirmed at booking. The package includes a Japanese-speaking local contact reachable by phone throughout the stay. Car rental is optional and can be added at cost.
Four nights in Paris, then four nights in Lyon, with a high-speed train between cities included. Paris hotel is in the 7th arrondissement, a ten-minute walk from the Musee d'Orsay. Schengen visa support is included in the package price.
Quiet Ridge Haven was founded in Higashiosaka in 2014 by Kenji Matsumoto, who had spent the previous eight years as a destination specialist at a large Osaka-based tour operator. He left in the spring of 2013 after one trip too many where a client called him from a hotel lobby in Rome, confused and without a local contact, because the agency's after-hours line had gone to voicemail. He spent a year building the systems. The 24/7 LINE channel, the vetted hotel list, the visa document checklist. Before opening the office on Kawamata in early 2014.
The first two years were mostly word of mouth. A honeymoon couple from Namba referred their colleagues. A small manufacturing firm in Kadoma booked a company trip to Vietnam and came back the following year with a larger group. By 2017, Quiet Ridge Haven had a second planner on staff and had added Europe to the destination list, which required building a relationship with a ground operator in Paris who could handle the pace and communication style Japanese travellers expect. That relationship is still in place today.
The office is small by design. There are four full-time staff and one part-time visa specialist who joins for Schengen and Taiwan applications. Kenji Matsumoto still takes the first call on every new honeymoon enquiry. The agency does not try to be everything to everyone: the destination list is deliberately short, the hotel partners are reviewed every two years, and the pricing is published without the asterisks. If a trip does not suit a client, the team will say so rather than book it anyway.

Our staff are reachable by phone and LINE at any hour. If something goes wrong at 2 a.m. In Bangkok or Lisbon, you call us directly. Not a call centre.
We prepare and review your visa documents for destinations that require them: Schengen, Taiwan, and others. We do not guarantee approval, but we have a strong track record.

The application process is not complicated, but it has specific requirements that catch first-time applicants off guard. This guide covers what you need, when to apply, and what happens if the consulate asks for more information.

The honest answer is that a 6-night trip has enough time for both, and the contrast between the two areas is part of what makes Bali work as a destination. Here is how to think about the split.

The choice between a direct flight and a one-stop connection is not always obvious, and the right answer depends on your travel dates, your budget, and how you feel about long flights.
Read more →The published price covers the return flight from Kansai International, hotel accommodation, and travel insurance. It does not cover meals unless the package specifically says so, optional excursions, personal spending, or visa fees. Visa fees are listed separately on every package page before you enquire.
We have a dedicated LINE channel and a direct phone number that routes to a Japanese-speaking staff member at all hours. During business hours, that is usually Kenji Matsumoto or one of our two senior planners. Outside business hours, calls route to a duty planner. We do not use a third-party call centre.
Most of our packages are available for two people. Some scheduled group departures have a minimum of four, but we always have individual and couple options. Honeymoon packages are designed for two by default.
