Bon Voyage co. (泰安洋行, Taian Yōkō) is Haruomi Hosono's third solo album. This album continues the tropical style of Hosono House and Tropical Dandy (which would continue later on with Paraiso) while showing influence from the music of New Orleans and also features performances from Tin Pan Alley and Happy End (excluding Takashi Matsumoto). The album's Japanese title was influenced by a Nagasaki convenience store of the same name that Hosono met while on Tin Pan Alley's "First & Last Concert Tour". This album was re-issued as part of a box set with the single version of the Tropical Dandy song "Peking Duck" (which was coupled with a song from this album) and an interview Hosono gave on a Tokyo Broadcasting System radio show.

All tracks written by Haruomi Hosono, except "Hong Kong Blues" by Hoagy Carmichael and "“Sayonara”, the Japanese Farewell Song", with music by Yoshida Hasegawa and lyrics by Freddy Morgan.
