The opportunity to connect and interact with the caretakers of some of Japan's cultural treasures.

Our Corporate Travel Programs take you to discover shrines and temples that open you up to the Japanese cultural and social mindset; their time-honored teachings form the backbone of modern Japanese business ideals. Natural sustainability, organizational continuity, and a lasting set of values handed down for centuries by the ancient Buddhist and Shinto traditions: each temple is a study into how modern Japanese political and business leaders are guided, and how their organizations have persisted and evolved into their present-day forms.

Japanese traditional arts such as kimono, ukiyo-e, and katana swords hold the keys to understanding modern Japanese culture. These old-fashioned techniques have been preserved through centuries as an important part of Japan's heritage, but preserved alongside it is the Japanese mindset, their approach to innovation, and how they evolved to survive through the years. On one of AJT's Corporate Travel Programs, your business group can study how these modern craftsmen balance traditional customs with contemporary advancement, and how it can be applied in the modern era.
