Japan Culture Experience in Shibuya
On September 30, 2025, Trip Port Co., Ltd. will launch the Japan Culture Experience facility in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo. This urban cultural experience center is designed specifically for foreign tourists visiting Japan, aiming to provide them with easy access to traditional Japanese culture in a convenient setting.
Location and Accessibility
Located just a four-minute walk from Shibuya Station, the Japan Culture Experience is ideally situated for tourists who can quickly drop in between sightseeing. At the address 706 Okazaki Building, 2-14 Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0002, visitors will find an inviting atmosphere to explore Japan's rich cultural traditions.
Offerings and Activities
The facility provides hands-on experiences in traditional arts such as tea ceremonies and calligraphy, each session lasting about one hour and accommodating up to eight participants. All activities are conducted in English, led by knowledgeable Japanese instructors who are experienced tour guides themselves.
Cultural Activities Include:
- - Tea Ceremony (Sado): Delve into the tranquil art of tea-making and the philosophy behind it.
- - Calligraphy (Shodo): Learn the techniques of Japanese calligraphy and express your artistic flair with brush and ink.
With group sizes kept small, each participant receives personalized attention, ensuring a rich learning experience.
Background and Purpose
Recent global tourism trends illustrate a shift from material consumption to experiential consumption. Tourists are increasingly seeking unique experiences that immerse them in local culture, thus creating a demand for accessible venues where they can enjoy traditional practices.
In response to the surge in inbound tourism and the challenges of overtourism in urban areas, Trip Port Co., Ltd. aims to address the shortage of cultural experience suppliers in metropolitan locations. By enabling diverse cultural encounters away from the crowd, the company contributes to a more sustainable tourism model in Japan.
Future Developments
Looking ahead, Japan Culture Experience plans to expand its offerings beyond tea ceremonies and calligraphy. Participants can look forward to new experiences, including kimono wearing sessions and wagashi (Japanese sweets) making classes. These additional activities will further enhance the engagement with Japan’s diverse and rich culture.
Trip Port Co., Ltd. is committed to revolutionizing Japan's tourism industry from the supplier side, leveraging its innovative startup mentality and agility to create a more vibrant inbound tourism landscape.
