Many VVIPs are happy to have Japan as a place to stay, even if they are traveling on business.

Therefore, many people hope to be able to enjoy Japan to the fullest, so reinforcing Japanese culture and traditions throughout your stay will make your stay in Japan more satisfying.

If your plan is in line with the trends and types of people you are meeting, you will be more satisfied.

Sensitive to your own interests and curiosity

The type that values one’s own interests and curiosity

This type is often characterized by a preference for things that are of particular interest to them due to their daily busyness and sense of value.

Conversely, they are not interested in things that do not interest them, no matter how many recommendations they receive.

This is the “by all means! and prepare all kinds of contents with enthusiasm, you may not get a response.

On the other hand, if they have a clear idea of what they like and what they want to do, they are more likely to make requests, which is an advantage that makes planning easier.

Don’t miss out on what they have to say.

Proper communication is important.

If it seems impossible to contact the person directly beforehand, it is reassuring to at least be able to consult with those around you.

However, if you only ask vague questions, you will not create a sense of trust, so we recommend that you make suggestions that will stimulate the other person’s interest.

Most people look forward to traveling to Japan.

Let us help them feel that excitement.

A type that values history and tradition.

This type tends to prefer things that have been around for a long time and are well-established.

They are more pleased with classical things and things rather than modern and trendy things.

They have a deep interest in the ideas, history, and philosophy of traditional Japanese culture, and show a voracious appetite for learning.

For such people, we will stimulate their intellectual curiosity in abundance.

If we can provide workshops, hands-on experiences, and opportunities to engage directly with professionals from that world, it will be a wonderful experience that only Japan can offer.

This is the type of person who gets satisfaction not only from experiencing things with the five senses, such as sight and taste, but also from absorbing knowledge of the history and stories associated with them.

Guided tours of temples, shrines, folklore, and old townscapes are also very much appreciated.

In this case, it is recommended to have a guide or interpreter with special knowledge to provide deeper insights, which will make their stay in Japan more fulfilling and gratifying.

Sensitive to fads and trends

How can traditional Japanese culture guide the type of person who is always interested in what’s new and what’s trending in that world?

Trends and traditions seem for a moment to be at opposite ends of the spectrum, but in any era, trends trace the times.

What is important is not the current of the time, but what is more noteworthy at that time becomes a trend, and Japanese culture is a treasure trove of hints in this regard.

Therefore, what is important when entertaining this type of foreign VVIPs and VIPs is the ability to analyze what kind of ideas are in demand around the world.

Japanese culture has various ideas and philosophies, many of which cannot be seen in Western culture.

By analyzing and applying the trends that the world is currently looking for, we are able to create Japanese cultural experiences that are sure to please even the most trend-conscious.

The special hospitality that is created by combining Japan with the latest fads and trends is also very much appreciated.

The type that values authenticity and specialness.

This type values “authenticity” above all else.

Many do not see any value at all in fakes or imitations, and many also detest them.

That is not to say that they should be historical and unique.

There are many people who are attracted to things that have substance, even if they have a short history and were created by young people.

The quality of the work, the effort and thought that goes into it, and the attention to materials are unique, and it is important to have a quality that cannot be easily imitated.

Craftsmanship, one-of-a-kind items, and experiences that can only be obtained on the spot are of great interest.

Many people are particularly interested in traditions and Japanese techniques, so it is important to plan accordingly.
