In Tokyo, travelers might walk the floor of the Toyosu wholesale fish market with a sushi chef, then continue to the restaurant to observe how various dishes are prepared—and taste the results. In Okinawa, clients might get a private demonstration from a karate master. She's excited about several new hotel openings, including the forthcoming Edition Ginza in Tokyo and Ento in the Okinawa Islands. "I often arrange for private, expert historians to give a tour for my travelers," says Mazzaro. "On special request, I can arrange a private visit to the Toshogu Shrine with a chief priest (including a translator) to give travelers better access to the history, tradition, and devotion to this World Heritage site. Or, for those that love photography, arranging a professional photographer to accompany them for a day. Clients are going to be much more interactive with more unique experiences now more than ever."
