Dai has lived, worked and learned in different cultures throughout his life. Dai leads the Japaventura team and is responsible for the operation, sales and product. He speaks English, Japanese and German fluently and a little bit of French and Bavarian. His passion is to create a bridge between Japan and the world and show our guests the wonders of Japan as seen through his eyes.

Travel Specialist Elisa has been fascinated by Japan ever since she spent a year abroad at a Japanese school at the age of 17. Not only did she learn the language, but she also fell in love with the culture. She has since traveled to many Asian countries, but Japan remains her true passion. Elisa possesses extensive knowledge of Japanese history and culture and loves to share her numerous anecdotes with others. When she’s not in Tokyo enjoying a delicious bowl of ramen, she likes to travel to India, where she particularly appreciates the aromatic masala chai.
