We aim to create and promote the most captivating experiences in Japan through traditional culture, which our ancestors have developed, preserved, nurtured, and passed down through generations.

We love our hometown of Kyoto and, for a sustainable future, we engage with people, nature, and the community, actively contributing to social causes.
