A Trip to Nara, the Cradle of Japanese History and Spiritual Culture, for a Full-Course Experience of Hospitality with an Overnight Stay for Evening and Morning Activities That Satisfy All Five Senses
We offer a full-course hospitality trip with an evening and morning stay in Nara, the birthplace of Japanese history and spiritual culture; an experience for all five senses.
Nara is where Japan began its history, where the blessings of nature and religious beliefs coexist. Nara has fostered its own culture while introducing various cultural and technological systems from around the world. In the late Muromachi period (1336-1573), the practice of tea ceremony began, merging the appreciation of artworks collected from around the world with the custom of tea drinking.
Three unique activities have been prepared for visitors to immerse themselves in Japanese culture. During this event, admire artistic tea ceremony utensils that reflect Japan's unparalleled craftsmanship while viewing the Former Daijo-in Temple Garden, which embodies the concept of “yugen” (the subtle grace of nature), the underlying philosophy of Japanese culture in the Muromachi period.
Experience (1) a tea ceremony held in the early morning, (2) a tea ceremony in the evening to admire shadows cast by candlelight, and
(3) a full-course tea ritual (with an authentic light Kaiseki meal accompanying the ritual)
Through these three activities, visitors will come to understand firsthand why Japan is rich in nature, why it excels in manufacturing, and why its people enjoy socializing through tea ceremonies. Come and immerse yourself in Japanese culture. -
