Seeking Knowledge and Beauty in Nature and Culture

Journey through the regions of Japan and discover the cycle of creation and craftsmanship

InterConnected Arts/Japan offers unique travel experiences focusing on the local craftsmanship and natural beauty of Japan's regions.

Our journeys are more than just tours; they're about understanding and appreciating the skills and traditions that have shaped local ways of life. We aim to create immersive journeys for creative professionals worldwide, delving into Japan's arts, nature, and culture.
People harness the gifts of nature, using their knowledge and skills to craft items essential for daily life. Professionals across various fields work together, honing their techniques and artistic sensibility. This process intertwines the unique culture of each area, bridging the gap between nature, individuals, and communities.
However, with the rapid advancement of industry often ignoring the Earth's natural rhythms, these vital connections are increasingly overlooked and destroyed. We aim to rediscover this art of creation, helping us comprehend our place in the world and the community we share it with.

Our approach

Protecting Regional Culture

Culture shapes our thoughts and forms societal values.

However, the economy, initially fueled by cultural influences, is now overshadowing them.

Our aim isn't just economic growth but to preserve and pass down the culture that enriches our lives.

Journey with us through Japan to explore ways to foster an economy and way of life that upholds and enhances culture, the cornerstone of human society.

Supporting Local Communities

Today's fast-paced global economy prioritises convenience and profit above all, but we believe in the offline, the analogue, and the local.

Local communities are the heart of each region's distinct identity, nurturing diverse cultures and lifestyles.

In these communities, products are made and used in a way that respects and complements the local environment and resources.

Our journeys are focused on exploring how these local economies and lifestyles, which are intrinsically linked to their surroundings, can influence and shape the future.

Promoting Sustainable Tourism

The Earth is the bedrock for all life, including our own.

It is our only source of the resources we need to live.

To keep thriving on this planet, our economic practices must align with the cycles and rhythms of nature.

Our bespoke journeys focus on economic models and lifestyles that support and nurture the Earth, rather than depleting it for economic gain.

Membership

InterConnected Arts/Japan's travel experiences are unique and available only for a limited period and to a select number of travelers. This is due to the unique nature of our offerings. Our journeys cater to creative professionals who value our world's rich cultural diversity.

We have made every effort to present the artisanal culture of Japan in its truest form; providing access to working artisan workshops where crafts are still being created following traditional methods. The meals provided are prepared with seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients.

Given the limited nature of these experiences, we've established a membership program for like-minded individuals looking to access authentic Japanese craftsmanship without diluting its cultural essence.

InterConnected Arts/Japan members get early access to tour information, exclusive videos showcasing the crafting process of each journey, and invitations to member-only exploratory tours.
