JAPAN PACKAGE TOURS - Key Persons


David Marsh

Job Titles:
  • Graphic Designer
As a graphic designer I have an instinctive appreciation of the elegance and simplicity of Japanese design. They have a cheerful, unadorned approach to everyday objects which I find very inspiring. I visited Japan for a wedding anniversary and made the right choice by staying in an authentic Japanese Ryokan guest house which was over 200 years old. I plan to make future trips to Japan as I soon fell in love with the culture, lifestyle and food. As someone who doesn't speak a word of Japanese, I found Japan incredibly easy to navigate. I highly recommend.
