Introducing the hidden allure of Japan to a special few Introducing the true and hidden allure of various regions of Japan to luxury travelers Japan is a country overflowing with the allure of tradition and a mature society. Much of this unique charm, however, remains closed to the world due to the barriers of language and the graceful modesty that is characteristic of the Japanese people. As a result of an excessive concentration on Tokyo, the great charm of diverse cultures that still exists in outlying regions remains unrevealed to the world. “Authentic Japan signature" is a service that allows a few special customers to experience the true allure that is hidden in various regions of Japan. What is meant by the “True, hidden allure of Japan"? There is more to Japan's charm than just the information carried by major media, for example about Tokyo and Kyoto. The true allure hidden in various regions of Japan comes back to those who seek it out, in forms that transcend the imagination: the joy of hot springs baths, where travelers can enjoy an exclusive experience of hot springs bubbling up from natural surroundings; the joy of coming in contact with the best foods that each region has to offer, created by Japan's rich natural abundance; the meetings with beauty that combine tradition and modernity, born from diverse regional cultures; the experience of unsurpassed healing from a blend of tradition and science; and many other superb Japanese experiences.
