Connecting with Japanese Treasures: The Essence of Courtly Culture and Hospitality

A direct descendant of a noble family of the highest rank invites affluent guests to a special once-in-a-lifetime banquet.

This program introduces participants to the origins of Japanese culture through an all-in-one luxury experience that recreates the historical practice of court nobles hosting Dutch and Korean diplomatic missions in Kyoto. Experience the refined elegance of Japan at an evening gathering in the style of the Nijo family, who were central to the Imperial court. Through recreating the custom of inviting a high ranking geisha to entertain distinguished guests, this program offers not just a cultural experience, but also a taste of the splendor of these historical banquets. This experience is perfect for affluent travelers who, like the diplomats of the past, wish to gain a deep understanding of Japan and take home unique memories, and is recommended for birthdays, honeymoons, hosting visitors, and other special occasions. Customize your experience with options such as a lecture, an incense ceremony, fine dining, a tea ceremony, a Noh dance performance, and a garden tour, to create the perfect party.
