A pilgrim’s quest for the remote
A solo traveller requested a two-week trip in Japan, where he only wanted to stay in temples and shrines. Most of these were not popular temples in Japan, but were located in secluded and obscure areas. There was hardly anyone providing such accommodation services yet, but we managed to pull it off.
We contacted our Japanese offices, and had them liaise with local shrines and temples to make special arrangements for this client. He had a reasonable budget, so we were able to fulfil his request. I wasn’t sure if it was for a pilgrimage, or if it was just his special interest.
Recently, he’s been coming back to us to do some ‘research’, so we might be getting another interesting request soon!
