Just how amazing can personalised trips get if money isn’t an issue? Four bespoke travel agencies reveal the most memorable itineraries they’ve ever put together. As told to CHERYL TANG.
THE ONE WITH A STAY IN A 1,000-YEAR-OLD BUDDHIST TEMPLE...
“A couple’s 20-day luxury honeymoon in Japan included a gourmet itinerary that involved some of the best kaiseki, omakase and fusion fine-dining experiences at celebrity restaurants such as the three-Michelin-starred Kikunoi Honten in Kyoto and Otomezushi in Kanazawa – a favourite of sushi chefs in Japan. For the cultural aspect, we secured high-demand tickets to the opening day of the Grand Sumo Tournament in Nagoya – with a personal local expert on hand to explain the history and customs of the sport – and arranged for them to be hosted by a real geisha at a chaya (a teahouse). They even stayed overnight in a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple located at the top of Mount Koya, and witnessed the monks’ morning prayers and the traditional Goma fire ritual, believed to have spiritual cleansing effects. Dinner and breakfast were shojin ryori, or Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, enjoyed right in the couple’s private Japanese-style tatami room.”
