About Janesco, the Japan
Tour Specialists

Satoko Franks, founder of Janesco, has worked in the Tour Industry within Japan and Australia for over 20 years. She is Japanese-born, from the historical and cultural capital of Japan, Kyoto, and has been escorting Australian tours to Japan for many years.

She has worked at Japan Airlines for over 12 years and with international hotels and travel agents, and takes great pride in her Japanese culture and heritage. It is her pleasure and pride to show people the real, and sometimes hidden, Japan and we look forward to sharing this with you.

Janesco has been conducting special quilt tours to Japan for more than 10 years and with each tour we refine and embellish our offerings. We listen to our clients, many of them repeat customers, and incorporate their ideas – so our tours really are designed by quilters, for quilters.
