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.

The Heart Behind SHIGEYOSHI

Long before SHIGEYOSHI became an idea, the road had already become part of who I was.

As a little girl, I dreamed of adventure. Over the years, that curiosity led me down scenic highways, through small towns, across national landscapes, and behind the lens of my camera. SHIGEYOSHI was born from a simple belief: some of life's best moments happen when we slow down, take the scenic route, and share the journey with others.

The SHIGEYOSHI Difference

BY YOUR SIDE

You’re never traveling alone.

From the first mile to the last, I'll be there alongside you—sharing the experience, navigating the unexpected, and helping create a journey that's as enjoyable as the destination itself.

SMALL BY DESIGN

Small groups. Meaningful connections.

Every journey is intentionally limited to just a few travelers, creating space for genuine conversation, flexibility, and shared experiences that larger group tours simply can't offer.

PREPARED TO RESPOND

Prepared for the unexpected.

While no one can predict every situation, I believe preparation matters. I maintain CPR/AED/First Aid certification and am equipped with a stocked first aid kit, so I'm prepared to respond when the unexpected arises.

CURATED JOURNEYS

Discover places with purpose.

Each journey is thoughtfully curated to balance adventure, flexibility, and the unexpected discoveries that make road trips unforgettable.

Let’s Continue the Journey

Whether you'd like to connect with other women who share your love of the open road or explore the journeys I'm creating, I'd love to have you along.

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."
