Meet the driving force behind Japan Junket,

junket. noun (jun·​ket) a short trip for pleasure.

Dayna Hoskin

Dayna has Junketed her way through Japan every year she’s been able since she first stepped foot in the country in September of 2016.

The unique beauty of Japan captivated her, and she dedicated the next 7 years of her life to the study of the Japanese language and its culture. Dayna’s passion for the country and the unique experiences it has to offer inspired many of her family and friends to embark on their own journeys to Japan, and with Dayna as their guide, each grew profoundly attached to the country and its vibrant culture themselves.

Their encouragement led Dayna to create Japan Junket, a platform dedicated to sharing her unique insight and connection with Japan, with others looking to experience this beauty of Japan for themselves.

The name, the logo, and a quick Japanese lesson.

The Name: [ Junket ] means simply, to take a small trip for pleasure, one of which is often funded by someone else. In our case, knowledge and experience is the going currency.

The Logo: Inside the burning, red sun, (as depicted on Japan’s national flag) stands the iconically snowcapped Mt Fuji and a humble shrine gate.

The Lesson: Wrapped around our Mt Fuji you’ll find the Japanese character [ へ ], this character marks a place (Japan) in which an action (travel) is directed towards, similarly to the English word ‘to’, and because Japanese sentence structure is somewhat backwards from ours, reading our logo the ‘Japanese way’ it reads [Japan ‘to’ Junket], meaning, Junket to Japan.

Our very first trip to Japan, despite months and months of research and planning, felt rushed. We had no personal experience to pull from to garner how much time to spend in each city, where to stay within those cities to maximize our time spent there, and no concept of how long and far the travel from city to city, or attraction to attraction would realistically be. It resulted in us missing out on some amazing experiences and not doing many of the cities we visited justice. Allowing us to do the planning for you means you’ll benefit from the learnings of our past mistakes, and guarantee you’ll get the most out of you time spent in Japan.
