On Pilgrimage with Your Companions — The Case for an "Original Pilgrimage Trip"

When people think of a pilgrimage, many imagine a large group tour. In fact, however, a pilgrimage tour can just as easily be arranged for a small, familiar group such as family members, friends, or fellow believers.

At Amitai Travel, we offer flexible pilgrimage plans tailored to each group, from just two people to several dozen.

The Appeal of a Small-Group Pilgrimage

- Pray at a gentle pace among close companions

Precisely because your fellow travelers are close, trusted companions, you can pray with a calm heart and treasure the time spent sharing together.

- Arrange the itinerary freely

"I would like to take plenty of time to visit this church" or "This is a place I absolutely must see" — we create a completely made-to-order itinerary to match your wishes.

- Leave Mass reservations and church coordination to us

At pilgrimage sites such as Nagasaki and the Gotō Islands, advance Mass reservations may be required. Amitai Travel handles all such scheduling arrangements on your behalf.

Pilgrimage Sites in Japan and Abroad

In addition to destinations within Japan, we also have a proven track record with pilgrimage sites overseas.

Because It Is a Journey Centered on Prayer, It Is All the More Worthwhile to Go with Companions

Unlike ordinary sightseeing, a pilgrimage is a journey to feel with the heart, to pray, and to share together.

Setting out on pilgrimage with special people — with family, with friends, with fellow members of the same church — makes the journey deeper and all the more unforgettable.

Amitai Travel walks alongside you in the spirit of your pilgrimage, helping you take part with peace of mind. Please feel free to consult with us.
