ABOUT US

Hello!

MEET THE TOUR GUIDE

一期一会

Pronounced: “Ichi Go Ichi E”
Meaning: Make each encounter precious/Every encounter is a treasure.
A quote by Yamanoue Souji, a prominent disciple of Sen no Rikyu

As may be apparent from the name of the company, the reason I found the firm is so that my customers would head home from Japan with irreplaceable souvenirs in the forms of precious and life-lasting memories.

Materials things come and go in life but good memories stay with you until your last dying breath.

While quite a few government-licensed guide interpreters are particular about the correctness of the stories they preach to their customers on the Japanese culture and history, I am an exception.

Do not get me wrong though. I do not make things up or “wing” the situation by telling falsehood. After all I am also a government-licensed guide interpreter and I have standards to keep. It is just that my priority is different.

For me, correct cultural and historical facts are just decorations sprinkled on top of the cake which must necessarily be baked from fine ingredients like good memories. Why orate on the details of the decorations when the cake is missing.

If the utmost priority of your visit to Japan is to leave the country with keepsake memories then please check the images I have collected and the five-star reviews that I have earned. I may be able to help you.

Even if I am not blessed with the fortune to meet you during your upcoming visit to Japan, please enjoy thoroughly the beauty that is Japan.

Sincerely,
Taro Kan, CEO

ABOUT OUR LOGO

Our company logo is based on one of the masterpiece, “Reflection in Lake Misaka, Kai Province”, out of the “Thirty-six View of Mt. Fuji” series by Katsushika Hokusai.
Also known as “Reverse Fuji”, the image of a perfect, inverted reflection is considered not only beautiful but as a symbol of good fortune by the Japanese.
The visual phenomenon is best seen during winter months on a nice clear day early in the morning when the perfectly still lake surface acts like a mirror.
