Authentic Experiences in Japan

In the autumn of 2026, Kameoka will be enveloped in vibrant greenery and flowers. Along with the excitement of the National Urban Greenery Kyoto Fair, there is a place we want you to step into.

In Japan, there is a world of authentic craftsmanship that many people still don't know about. In regions such as Kyoto and Kameoka, artists and craftspeople who dedicate themselves to creation every day produce their works in their own studios.

This site offers a journey into the world of craftsmanship. It's a service where you can connect with local makers and experience creation where it happens. In the very places where works are born, you can feel their passion and techniques by working with your own hands.

For those who want to spend a little special time while traveling. For those who want to deeply experience Japanese culture. Authentic experiences perfect for you are waiting.

Simply choose an artist that interests you and book in advance. Please enjoy the encounters and experiences that can only be found here.

What you'll find here is not just 'tourism'. Under the guidance of artists captivated by Kameoka's climate, you'll touch the earth, move your brush, and sharpen your spirit. It's a special time that awakens the sensitivity sleeping within you.

Experience the artistic culture nurtured in the misty 'City of Fog' together with artists. JAT (Japan Art Tourist) is a platform for booking such once-in-a-lifetime encounters.
