Karina
Japan Sales ConsultantWith a lifelong passion for Japan and over a decade of experience in the travel industry, living in both Tokyo and Hong Kong, Karina has explored the country from top to toe – from the subtropical islands of Okinawa to the snow-covered landscapes of Hokkaido, where the Russian coastline is visible on a clear day, and along the dramatic trails of the Japan Alpine Route.
She has expert knowledge of Japan’s cultural intricacies, seasonal rhythms and hidden corners, and speaks fluent Japanese to ensure every journey runs seamlessly. Whether it’s uncovering remote ryokans, tracing historic pilgrimage routes, or navigating Tokyo’s cutting-edge dining scene, Karina designs journeys with insight, ease and expertise.
