Inspired Itineraries
SELECTION NO. 1
WHISPERS OF CHŪBU
Duration
One ~ Three Days
Region
GIFU | AICHI
Description
In the hills and hearths of central Japan, tradition is not preserved—it is practiced. Begin your journey in Seto and Kani, where clay has shaped lives for over a thousand years. Visit kilns where flames still rise in quiet devotion, and meet ceramicists whose hands trace centuries of inherited technique.
Continue to Seki, one of Japan’s historic sword-making capitals, where fire, steel, and ritual converge. Here, you may witness a master bladesmith at work—each strike a meditation in motion.
Conclude with a tasting of Uji-style green tea, brewed in a serene garden setting. Learn the rituals that elevate tea from drink to philosophy, and savour seasonal wagashi as part of this contemplative experience.
A journey of texture and stillness—where earth, fire, and flavour become expressions of refined craft.
SELECTION NO. 2
THE ELEVATED FAIRWAY
Duration
One Day
Region
CHIBA
Description
Escape the city by private helicopter and arrive in quiet elegance at one of Japan’s most exclusive members-only courses. Spend the day immersed in the rhythm of the fairway, followed by a retreat to your private suite overlooking the greens. There, a distinguished chef—selected from our curated roster—crafts a bespoke culinary experience tailored to your tastes.
An extraordinary pairing of sport, serenity, and refined indulgence—just moments from Tokyo, yet a world apart.
SELECTION NO. 3
ORIGINS OF ZEN
Duration
Two ~ Four Days
Region
FUKUI
Description
Journey to Fukui, where spiritual heritage and artisanal mastery quietly converge. Begin in Echizen, a town renowned for centuries-old crafts—washi paper, lacquerware, and blades—shaped with the same intentionality that defines Zen itself.
Then enter the hush of Eiheiji, the monastic heart of the Soto school, where stone paths wind through moss-laden cedars and monks still rise before dawn. Here, guests are invited to observe, reflect, and participate—immersing themselves in the profound rituals of presence and impermanence.
A contemplative experience rooted in authenticity, where every gesture, texture, and silence becomes part of the journey inward.
SELECTION NO. 4
SHADOWS OF THE SHŌGUN
Duration
One ~ Two Days
Region
SHŌNAN
Description
Once the seat of Japan’s first shogunate and a cradle of Zen in the East, Kamakura blends spiritual gravity with coastal grace. Wander through moss-lined temple paths, sip matcha in a hidden teahouse, and stand in the quiet presence of the Great Buddha—cast in bronze and centuries of contemplation.
Along the way, artisan encounters and seasonal cuisine offer a sensory dialogue with the city’s enduring elegance. Whether arriving by private car or scenic rail, Kamakura welcomes the curious with a slower rhythm, steeped in history yet alive with subtle discovery.
SELECTION NO. 5
TŌKYŌ BY INVITATION
Duration
Half Day/Evening
Region
TŌKYŌ
Description
Beneath Tokyo’s glittering skyline lies a world known only to those with access. Begin your evening with a seasonal tasting menu at one of the city’s most discreet culinary sanctuaries—whether hidden behind an unmarked door in Ginza or nestled in the backstreets of Kagurazaka.
From there, slip into the city’s after-hours rhythm. Whether it’s a private whisky tasting guided by a third-generation bartender, a jazz set in an invitation-only lounge, or a rooftop omakase under lantern light—each moment is curated for subtle exhilaration.
A Tokyo that doesn’t announce itself, but quietly unfolds—layer by glittering layer.
