Japanese Culture & Traditions

Kimono
Kimono is a traditional Japanese outfit worn for centuries, known for its elegant patterns and graceful design.
Wearing a kimono is not just about clothing — it’s about experiencing Japanese culture, beauty, and history all at once.
Whether at a temple, a festival, or a quiet village like Iyashi no Sato, putting on a kimono lets you feel part of something timeless and deeply Japanese.

Onsen
Japanese onsen are natural hot spring baths, often located in scenic places like mountains, forests, or near lakes. The water is rich in minerals and is believed to have healing effects for your body and mind.
What makes onsen special is not just the warm water — it’s the calm, quiet atmosphere, the connection to nature, and the chance to relax like the locals do.
From traditional wooden baths to open-air outdoor tubs with Mt. Fuji views, onsen offer a truly unique and peaceful experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Washoku&sushi
Washoku is traditional Japanese cuisine that focuses on seasonal ingredients, natural flavors, and beautiful presentation. It’s more than just food — it’s a way of connecting with nature and appreciating harmony in every dish.
One of the most famous examples of washoku is sushi, a simple yet refined food made with vinegared rice and fresh fish.
Whether at a fine restaurant or a local shop, sushi offers a unique balance of taste, texture, and artistry that continues to amaze people around the world.

Tea Ceremony
The Japanese tea ceremony is a peaceful and elegant ritual of preparing and serving matcha (powdered green tea).
It’s not just about drinking tea — it’s a cultural experience that reflects harmony, respect, purity, and mindfulness.
From the slow, careful movements to the quiet atmosphere, every part of the tea ceremony invites you to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the moment.
