Japanese culture

With one foot in its traditional past and the other striding out towards the future, Japanese culture is in a continual state of flux. As the country continues to pave the way for technological development, the essence of the country is steeped in traditional values and defined by its rich history.

As a result, Japan is a wonderful melting pot of complex social conventions, religions and customs, embracing the future yet celebrating the past. For us, there is no better way to unravel Japan and its fascinating culture than by sharing tea with a geisha, discovering the world of anime, learning the art of the samurai or brewing your own sake with the people who call it home.
