Building the team behind unforgettable Japan journeys
At Memory Design, every journey we craft is the result of countless hands, hearts, and stories woven together. As we continue to grow, we are opening our doors to new collaborators who share our belief that travel should be personal, meaningful, and beautifully remembered.
We are actively looking for partners across Japan who can help us bring our journeys to life.
Who we are looking for
At Memory Design, every journey we craft is the result of countless hands, hearts, and stories woven together. As we continue to grow, we are opening our doors to new collaborators who share our belief that travel should be personal, meaningful, and beautifully remembered.
Local Guides
Storytellers who know the Japan beyond the guidebook. Whether your expertise is in Kyoto’s hidden temples, Tokyo’s backstreet culinary scene, the quiet villages of Tohoku, or Okinawa’s coastal traditions, we welcome guides who can share Japan with depth, warmth, and authenticity.
Photographers & Videographers
Visual artists with a cinematic eye. Our creative team captures journeys as they unfold, turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. We are looking for photographers and videographers who can document our guests’ stories with sensitivity and craft.
Hotels, Ryokans & Boutique Accommodations
We partner with carefully selected properties that share our commitment to refined hospitality. If your property values quiet luxury, personal service, and a genuine sense of place, we would love to connect.
Private Drivers & Transportation Partners
Reliable, discreet, and professional transportation services across Japan. From Tokyo’s city routes to remote countryside drives, we welcome trusted partners who understand the rhythm of refined travel.
Cultural Experience Hosts
Tea masters, calligraphers, sushi artisans, sake brewers, kimono dressers, ceramicists, and other keepers of Japanese tradition who are open to welcoming our guests into their world.
Restaurants & Culinary Partners From Michelin-starred kaiseki houses to family-run izakayas tucked into mountain villages, we believe every meal can be a memory.
Our philosophy
Memory Design was founded on a simple belief. Travel is not a checklist. It is a story, and every story needs people who care enough to tell it well. We are not interested in scale for the sake of scale. We are building a small, devoted network of partners who share our standards and our soul.
If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
Get in touch
Whether you are an established business or an independent artisan just starting out, we welcome a conversation.
