Hankyu Travel DMC Japan is a destination management specialist serving both luxury and regular travelers, with expertise in special interest tours, incentive travel, and meetings and business travel. We provide complete coordination for journeys in Japan, supporting guests from arrival through departure.

Our team delivers efficient and reassuring service while helping protect your bottom line. From the initial design stage through on site management during the stay, and thoughtful follow up after return, we oversee every detail of the experience. Our priority is shared satisfaction for guests, organizers, and our team.

As one of the leading DMCs in Japan, Hankyu Travel DMC Japan is pleased to share details of our upcoming HANKYU × PONANT charter cruises. These itineraries are designed to offer overseas travelers a deep, distinctive, and highly immersive experience of Japan.

This project was created with a broader goal of revitalizing regional cities, not only in the Kansai area but throughout Japan. PONANT is especially well suited to this vision, with a strong focus on developing lesser known ports, many of which are unfamiliar even to Japanese travelers. This approach aligns naturally with regional revitalization efforts and allows guests to experience parts of Japan that are rarely seen.
