Oze Ukai in Seki, Gifu, is a tradition of cormorant fishing on the Nagara River with more than 1,000 years of history.

After sunset, fishermen known as usho guide trained cormorants by the light of burning torches, moving quietly along the river in wooden boats. From the viewing boat, you can watch the fishing remarkably close — hearing the calls of the fishermen, the movement of the water, and the birds at work.

More than a performance, Oze Ukai is a living tradition that connects the river, local communities, and generations of knowledge passed down through centuries.

Cycling through the paddy fields of Tamba Sasayama offers a glimpse into the region’s agricultural landscape. In these fields, rice and the area’s famous black soybeans are grown in rotation, following a seasonal rhythm that shapes both the scenery and the local way of life.

A visit to the pottery village of Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo.

Tamba ware is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, with a history stretching back more than 800 years. Here, pottery is still deeply connected to the landscape, local materials and generations of accumulated knowledge.

Stepping inside the workshops, you see the real side of the craft.

For us, places like Tamba Sasayama are an important part of sustainable travel: supporting local makers, keeping traditional skills economically relevant, and creating reasons for craftsmanship to remain in the community.

Kurotani Washi, made by hand in a small village in Kyoto Prefecture.

For centuries, this community has preserved the tradition of Japanese papermaking by using local materials, water, and techniques passed down through generations.

A craft shaped by its landscape, and a village built around keeping it alive.

Behind the scenes with Geisha.

Today, we had a video shoot for one of our private cultural experiences — a deeper look into the world of geisha in Japan.

Beyond the beauty of kimono, dance, and tradition, there are stories of discipline, community, and living heritage.
Through our tours, we hope to share these stories with care, respect, and a deeper sense of place.

A journey beyond the surface of Japan.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting an exhibition by Nhes., a company creating toothbrushes designed to return to nature at the end of their life cycle.

Nhes. is also our valued partner in developing sustainable amenities. Together with skilled bamboo artisans in Beppu, they help bring our bamboo toothbrush project to life through the delicate process of bristle planting.

It is a privilege to collaborate with people who share our commitment to creating products that are thoughtful, beautiful, and kinder to the environment.

The cherry blossoms are blooming! But did you know that plum blossoms are as beautiful, and can be seen in February?
Every year, the Odawara Plum Festival offers a beautiful landscape with 35,000 trees covered in blooming flowers. It is a great alternative to enjoy blossoming trees while avoiding the crowds coming for cherry blossoms.
