Swordsmiths and craftsmen. Masters of incense, tea and the kitchen. We open their doors for your party alone, and shape each day around you: the hour, the table, the people who join you.
Every experience is private to your party. Times, settings and menus are shaped around you.
Masters and makers welcome you themselves, in English or with an interpreter at your side.
Chauffeured cars and helicopter transfers can be arranged between every experience.
The forge, the blade and the way of the samurai.
Every experience is private to your party, and any of them can be joined into the days of your stay.
Forge at the anvil with a swordsmith of Masamune’s line, then hold a blade yourself.
An early Showa house in Kanda, yours for the evening: chosen blades, then dinner to gagaku.
Learn the way of the sword from Tetsuro Shimaguchi, with wooden swords the whole family can use.
Crafts and quiet arts, taught by their masters.
Cut a glass of your own in Kameido, guided by the master, Ryuichi Kumakura.
Listen to rare aloeswood, one fragrance at a time, with the designated grand master of the Shino school.
In a tea room in Kita-Kamakura, the formal preparation of leaf tea, for your party alone.
Japan’s table, from the market to the sushi counter.
A chauffeured hire car for the day, waiting while you are inside. Every experience is reached door to door.
Helicopter transfers for longer journeys, such as Kamakura, or simply to see Tokyo from above along the way.
From a tea room in Kita-Kamakura to the forge of Masamune’s line, then back to Tokyo for an evening of blades and dinner at Imasa.
Ringside at a sumo stable at dawn, a glass of your own cut in Kameido by afternoon, and the lanes of Mukojima as the lamps come on.
