What are we?

At Nippon Day Trip, we offer personalized, private tours across Japan designed for travelers who want more than just sightseeing. Founded on March 24, 2021, by Samar Ali, our goal has always been to help people experience Japan not as tourists but as welcomed guests. From exploring UNESCO heritage sites like Toshogu Shrine in Nikko to enjoying panoramic views of Mount Fuji and walking the busy streets of Tokyo, our trips are crafted to blend local culture, comfort, and discovery — all with an English-speaking private driver by your side.

The Story Behind Nippon Day Trip

Ehtasham Ali’s journey is one of dedication, passion, and perseverance. Like many dreamers, he started small — working jobs for free just to gain experience in the tourism space. With a natural talent for communication and deep knowledge of Japan, he began guiding international visitors as a freelancer, offering tailored day tours and city explorations. His personal touch and honest service quickly caught attention, and he started receiving direct client referrals. With time, and after countless successful tours, Samar turned his freelance work into a small registered travel business — and that’s how Nippon Day Trip was born. What started as a one-man mission has now grown into a reputable company trusted by hundreds of travelers every year.

Despite growth, Samar’s core values remain unchanged — genuine hospitality, meaningful travel experiences, and treating every guest with personal care. He believes the best journeys come from connection — with culture, nature, and people — and he brings that belief to every tour he designs.
