Kathie Callum

Hi, I am the Agent Sales Manager and manage Oku Japan's relationships with our trade partners. I have long had an interest in Japan and enjoy helping others to see this magnificent country.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I have an interest in local handicrafts and regional cuisine. I love the rural villages that can be found in the areas where our hiking tours operate - the Kiso Valley and Nakasendo Trail, The Kumano Kodo and Shikoku Pilgrimage routes, the ancient capitals of Nara and Asuka, and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of discovery in the country. I love a shukubo stay."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I've been selling travel for 20 years and have been focused only on Japan for the past 7 years."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
