Comments about travel in Japan with the Japan Society of Boston:

"On the Japan Society trip, we strolled through imperial gardens as if they were our own; we met famous Kabuki actors backstage in their dressing rooms; we were guided through great Japanese museums by top curators and architects, and we visited private collections at the invitation of the collectors... It was a truly amazing journey!

Who could ever ask for more?"

                                                                            APB, architect & art collector

"Grilli's experience of Japan is profound, and he has a genius for bridging cultural chasms... his instincts for bringing Americans and Japanese together are unerring."

                                       David Halberstam, writer

"No one knows Japan better than Peter Grilli. Thanks to his expert advice, we saw and experienced the Japan of our dreams -- the right temples, the finest meals, the offbeat excursions that most tourists miss.  From the streets of Tokyo to the imperial gardens of Kyoto to the fantastic art of Naoshima, Peter led the way."
