About us
Embark on an extraordinary journey through Japan, where the essence of its culture is deeply intertwined with an appreciation for beauty. Whether in the vibrant colours, the harmonious sounds, or the seamless blend of daily life, nature, and history, Japan offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Discover landscapes that capture the original essence of Japan, shaped by the lives of people deeply connected to their local environments. In secluded areas, you can find folk arts that are cherished and passed down by local communities, as well as architecture that is carefully preserved. Japan is home to numerous cultural landscapes that have inherited unique local traditions, offering an unparalleled experience for the discerning traveller.
The “Nihon Tabi Hyakkei” series by World Air-Sea Service, renowned for its high-quality and thematic tours, introduces the timeless beauty of Japan that we strive to preserve. This exclusive series highlights UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognising traditions and customs as cultural treasures. In Japan, Bunraku, Noh, and Kabuki are celebrated under this prestigious designation. Additionally, Japan’s Intangible Folk Cultural Properties include traditional folk arts passed down through generations, preserved for their historical and artistic significance.
Japan also boasts a myriad of festivals where these folk arts are cherished. While some are nationally renowned, the “Nihon Tabi Hyakkei” series shines a light on lesser-known cultural treasures, lovingly preserved by village communities in remote areas.We also guide you through towns across Japan that resemble “Little Kyotos,” where traditional Japanese streetscapes are well-preserved. These include towns designated as Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the government, as well as villages recognised by Europe’s “Most Beautiful Villages Association.”
Whether exploring post towns, port towns, castle towns, or samurai districts, these destinations are introduced as beautiful Japanese townscapes and cultural landscapes that we wish to preserve forever. With a strong thematic focus, we offer exclusive tours that have not been widely available before, catering to those who seek unique and cultural experiences. We assure you of an unparalleled and exquisite experience through Japan.
