ABOUT JAPAN

NEW IDEAS START HERE - JAPAN

For group incentive programs that remain far from the ordinary, now is the time to begin plans to explore Japan - a country of contrasts, full of ancient wisdom and tradition, yet at the forefront of innovation and technology. Nowhere else comes close to the number of diverse experiences to be found in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. 

Perhaps less well known are its tranquil forests, unspoilt rivers and stunning mountains, still immersed in folklore and ritual; the perfect outdoor setting in which to strengthen team spirit, recharge and feel revitalised after what has been a challenging period, especially for the business events industry.

World-famous, Japan has an outstanding reputation for professionalism in all industries and walks of life. It is particularly noticeable in Japan’s service industry where omotenashi, or traditional Japanese hospitality, is centred around the absolute dedication and anticipation of customers’ needs. This term is a microcosm of the country itself, representing the Japanese mindset of care, attention to detail and the highest quality. 

International visitors can feel reassured that their wellbeing has been considered from every angle, once again through the innovative spirit of Japanese hospitality and the wider service industry.

Immersive experiences in ancient tradition:

  • Discovering the historic ninja arts and their time-honoured techniques at the training ground of the famed Iga clan, against the backdrop of the Akame 48 Falls.
  • Embracing the ancient mountain faith of Shugendo in the sacred mountains of Dewa Sanzan through an authentic training program to reconnect with nature, including waterfall meditation.

New ideas come from relaxation, renewal… and adventure:

  • “Forest bathing" or shinrin-yoku is a Japanese practice of providing natural therapy in the healing air, sights, and sounds of living, breathing woods.  Try it in Akasawa Natural Recreational Forest or one of the numerous pristine UNESCO World Heritage National Parks in Japan.
  •  Feeling an adrenaline rush as you ride down the whitewater rapids of Dorokyo Gorge in Wakayama Prefecture on the traditional log rafts.

Mind-blowing and futuristic concepts to re-energise the brain:

  • Stimulating the body and mind in a world of 3D wonders at the MORI Building Digital Art Museum: teamLab Borderless where you will feel part of the constantly changing artwork in the vast 10,000 sqm space.
  • Travelling with Japan’s fleet of luxury trains on an ultra-smooth journey through its heartlands and along its coasts, experiencing stylish interiors, exceptional service and world-class rail innovation.

Just waiting to be uncovered is Japan’s abundance of opportunities that will recharge and revitalise the soul. Plan your next incentive rewards program in Japan and connect in settings unique, ancient and wondrous.
