Some roads are better with good company.
SHIGEYOSHI — Go. You’ll know when you get there
For women who are ready to go.
SHIGEYOSHI is a travel companion experience, exclusively for women — not a tour, not a bus, not a rigid itinerary. Just 2-3 women at a time. Trips begin with a thoughtfully curated route with room for flexibility — because the best moments are sometimes the unplanned ones.
Your curiosity leads the way.
There is a feeling I get when the road opens up in front of me.
Joy. Pure, uncomplicated happiness. A curiosity that pulls me forward just to see what's around the next bend.
I've been chasing that feeling since I was four years old, when I took my first airplane ride — plastic airplane in hand, already heading somewhere.
My mother gave me that. She gave me the open road, a camera, and the belief that the world is worth seeing.
That feeling is what I want to share with you.
SHIGEYOSHI is her family name. And this business is my way of saying thank you.
What to expect
PRESENT
I'm there for every moment — from shaping the route to the last mile of the journey. Not a guide. A companion.
SMALL BY DESIGN
2-3 women at a time. Always, Because the best conversations happen when there’s no crowd to get lost in.
PREPARED
CPR certified, first aid kit, compass, Starlink Mini, and good instincts. You focus on the experience — I’ve got the rest.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Beautiful light is part of every journey. I will help you see it with photography assistance and guidance. And for those Milky Way dreamers, that's a special add-on worth planning around.
How it works
You reach out and we connect — no commitment, just a conversation about what calls to you.
Together we shape the journey — a curated route with room for the unexpected.
We go. You bring the curiosity. The rest unfolds naturally.

Long before SHIGEYOSHI existed, I was already doing this—planning, driving, and guiding friends through unforgettable journeys. Astrid flew in from Aruba, and together we explored parts of Colorado and Utah. That trip planted the seed for what SHIGEYOSHI has become.
"I just had the best time in Julie's care and would highly recommend this type of travel to any adventurous ladies out there."

When skies are clear and the moon is quiet—we pause for the stars.
Milky Way photography is a special add-on experience — available when season, moon phase, and skies align.
