We will tell you about the culture, tourist attractions, and specialties of each region of Japan. We work with a variety of companies in Japan.

We work with restaurants, travel agencies, education, sports, and local governments. In fact, there are many companies in Japan that would like to see more tourism and have their products known to people overseas, but rural areas and small stores are having a very hard time expanding their recognition. We opened this website to introduce delicious foods, sightseeing spots, and recommended Japanese products that are not listed in tourist brochures or on the Internet, from our perspective.

The Perfect Bento for Beating the Summer Heat in Japan!
Hokka Hokka Tei’s “Summer Body Maintenance Meal”
-----------
●Hokka Hokka Tei’s 50th Anniversary
“Hokka Hokka Tei” is one of Japan’s leading bento chains, which opened its first store in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, in 1976 and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Hokka Hokka Tei was the first to begin serving them as freshly made, warm, handmade bento boxes. The brand name “Hokka Hokka” is a Japanese onomatopoeia that evokes the image of steaming, fluffy, freshly cooked rice. Furthermore, Hokka Hokka Tei is also the originator of the “nori bento”—a bento featuring a layer of nori spread over rice, topped with side dishes.

●Hokka Hokka Tei’s New Summer Menu
A new series called “Summer Body Maintenance Meals (Japanese reading:Natsu no Karada Mente Meshi),” born from the desire to help people cope with the intense summer heat through their daily meals, went on sale on July 1, 2026.
This is a new series developed in collaboration with ReLIFE-MAINTENANCE HOLDINGS Co.,Ltd., a company specializing in infrastructure maintenance. These boxed lunches, supervised by a registered dietitian, are designed to support summer nutrition.

●Summer Body Maintenance Meal
Stamina Nikumori Yasaiitame Bento (890 yen, tax included) : This Yasaiitame (Stir-fried vegetables) bento contains half of the recommended daily intake of vegetables and plenty of pork, which is rich in vitamin B1. It also comes with umeboshi and mentaiko for a change of flavor.
Stamina Tempra Hiyashi Ume Oroshi Udon (690 yen, tax included) : This cold udon features luxurious toppings such as vegetable kakiage, burdock root tempura, sausage tempura, chopped okra, grated daikon radish, and umeboshi. It comes with two generous packets of broth to help replenish your salt intake.

●A Hit at the Expo2025! One-Hand BENTO
Speaking of Hokka Hokka Tei, the chain operated a “One-Hand BENTO” booth at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion during the Osaka-Kansai Expo held in 2025. As the name suggests, it’s a new-concept bento that’s compact yet packed with plenty of food—allowing you to enjoy the main dish and side dishes with just one hand. A permanent store for this hugely popular item—which sold 220,000 meals at the Expo—opened at the Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store on April 29, 2026. It’s highly recommended for busy tourists, so be sure to check out the One-Hand BENTO.

The store staff are well-versed in multilingual communication and use tools like AI voice translators to assist customers.

The Zoff Shinsaibashi Parco store carries the “Made in Japan” series, which is available only at select Zoff locations. We offer a selection of frames crafted using the artisanal skills and high-quality materials of Sabae, Fukui Prefecture—a region renowned for its eyewear production. This series is highly recommended for those seeking exquisitely crafted eyewear.

●Recommended Eyeglass Frames : Zoff SMART
We also recommend Zoff’s hugely popular “Zoff SMART” series. Made from lightweight, flexible materials, these frames are so light you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them, and they offer a perfect fit. They’re resistant to bending and exceptionally durable, so you can pack them in your suitcase or bag without worry.
We also recommend the trendy “Zoff SMART with MAQuillAGE” beauty eyewear, which is popular among women.

Zoff’s most popular lenses are “photochromic lenses,” which change color in response to UV light. These versatile 2-in-1 lenses are incredibly convenient—they function as clear glasses indoors and as sunglasses outdoors.
These photochromic lenses, with a refractive index of 1.55, come in six colors: gray, brown, blue, green, pink, and violet. Part of the fun is choosing your favorite color, so be sure to check out these highly functional photochromic lenses to pair with your frames.

Experience Japanese culture while staying at a traditional inn
Ryocance at Kinnotake Resort
-----------
●What is Ryocance?
Kinnotake Co., Ltd. operates five ryokan and four restaurants in Hakone, a famous hot spring resort area near Tokyo.
“Ryocance,” a concept proposed by Kinnotake Resort, combines the words ‘ryokan’ (traditional Japanese inn) and “vacance” (vacation).
It is an accommodation program that allows guests to experience Japanese culture—such as japanese tea ceremony, calligraphy, Yosakoi dancing, and sushi-making—while staying at the resort.

●Ryokan staff serve as instructors
One of the key features of “Ryocance” is that the instructors are the ryokan staff themselves.
A ryokan is not merely a place to stay; it is a place that embodies Japan’s unique spirit of hospitality, and the staff place great importance on the “spirit of hospitality” in their service.
As a result, you can enjoy a Japanese cultural experience that is thoughtful, easy to understand, and warm.

●Recommended Ryocance Experiences
-Nigiri Sushi Experience
You can learn how to make nigiri sushi alongside a skilled chef and enjoy the freshly made sushi along with a warm clear soup.
-Japanese Tea Ceremony Experience
This experience is planned and led by a 77-year-old staff member with 15 years of experience in the tea ceremony. In a serene setting, you can savor matcha while experiencing Japanese aesthetics and etiquette.
-Yukata Dressing Experience
At this historic inn, which has been in business for 364 years, you can choose your favorite pattern and experience having a traditional yukata put on for you.
-Samurai Experience
A package that lets you experience the essence of the samurai spirit. You can don authentic armor and have your photo taken.

●Enjoy Japanese culture at a Ryokan
Why not stay at a ryokan in Hakone, where the Japanese spirit of hospitality is deeply rooted, and experience Japanese culture firsthand?
