It’s always the future in Japan. Be it the bullet trains, artistic manhole covers, washlet, umbrella locks or miniaturized fast food joints. No wonder they pride themselves on having the world’s highest life expectancy and even higher standard of living.
This archipelago is an assemblage of a powerful megalopolis, rugged massif, prolific woodlands, boundless shoreline and swarming reefs. You can also see Japanese hallmarks like bright orange torii, Shinto shrines, cherry blossoms, twisted Bonsai, Samurai warriors, entertaining Geishas, artistic origami, countless Sushis and the list is infinite.
Imagine bundling up these idiosyncrasies into curated experiences. From private Samurai sword lessons in Kyoto, a traditional tea ceremony and a colourful lunch in the Osaka Castle, to brewing sake in Chiba and understanding Tokyo’s sci-fi landscape with an architect to discovering the red-crowned crane’s migration in Hokkaido and soaking in a private onsen bath in Hakone.
As Jill Sanders said, “One glass of water doesn’t equal another. One may appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.
