Kissako Experiences — by Maison Kissako

Japan, in season.日本,请趁当季。

Sumo tournaments that run fifteen days. Tea picked four weeks a year. Temple gardens at peak maple. We build small-group experiences around the moments Japan doesn't repeat — led by the guides, chefs, monks and masters of our private VIP journeys.一年只有15天的大相扑。一年只采4周的新茶。红叶顶点的庭园。我们围绕那些日本不会重来的时刻,打造小团制文化体验——领路的,是曾支撑VIP私人订制之旅的向导、主厨、僧人与匠人。

What's in season →看看当季有什么 →Year-round tours常年体验

Seasonal — our speciality季节限定 — 我们的看家本领

Limited by the calendar, not by us设下期限的是日历,不是我们

The best of Japan runs on a schedule no operator controls. These experiences exist only in their window — when it closes, they're gone until next year.日本最好的部分,运行在谁也无法改动的时间表上。这些体验只存在于各自的窗口期——一旦关闭,明年再会。

Why Kissako为什么选Kissako

Born private, priced small-group生于私人订制,价于小团共享

Real access真正的门路

Ochaya that don't take strangers, wholesaler floors, members-only bars, working temples. Our doors were opened over years of private VIP touring — they don't open from a ticket counter.谢绝生客的茶屋、批发楼层、会员制酒吧、非公开的禅寺。我们的门是多年VIP私人订制之旅打开的——售票窗口打不开它们。

Small by design小团是一种设计

Six guests at most, minimum one. Everyone stands at the counter, sits at the table, talks to the master. If you want it fully private, we can do that too — it's where we come from.最多6人,最少1人。每个人都能站上料理台、坐上餐桌、与匠人对话。想要完全包场?也可以——那本就是我们的出身。

Season first季节优先

We plan the year around Japan's calendar — tournaments, harvests, blossom and snow — and tell you honestly when the window is, and when it isn't.赛事、采收、樱花与雪。我们围绕日本的日历设计全年,并诚实告知:何时是窗口期,何时已经关闭。

Questions常见问题

Good to know参加之前

Are these tours private or shared?体验是包场还是拼团?

Every experience runs as a small group of six guests at most (Tournament Day is capped at four). If you'd like any experience fully private for your own party, we can arrange it — Kissako's roots are in private touring.所有体验均以最多6人(大相扑观赛日最多4人)的小团制开催。如希望仅您的同行者包场,也可安排——私人订制正是Kissako的原点。

Who are the guides?向导是什么样的人?

Licensed, English-speaking guides and working professionals — chefs, monks, smiths, sommeliers, geiko and rikishi — drawn from the network Maison Kissako built designing private journeys for VIP travellers.英语持证向导,以及一线的专业人士——主厨、僧人、锻造职人、侍酒师、艺妓与力士,皆来自Maison Kissako为VIP旅行者做私人旅程设计时积累的人脉网络。

What does 'seasonal' mean exactly?「季节限定」具体指什么?

Some of the best things in Japan exist for only a few weeks: the Tokyo sumo tournaments run 15 days three times a year, first-flush tea is picked for about four weeks in May, and peak foliage lasts roughly three weeks. Our seasonal experiences run only in those windows, and we confirm exact dates with you as forecasts firm up.日本最好的一些体验只存在几周:东京的大相扑每年3次、每次15天;头采茶只在5月的约4周;红叶顶点约3周。季节限定体验只在窗口期内开催,预报确定后我们会与您敲定具体日期。

Can solo travellers book?一个人可以报名吗?

Yes — every experience has a minimum of one guest. Solo travellers join the small group at the per-person price.可以。所有体验最少1人成行,单人以每人价格加入小团。

What is the cancellation policy?取消政策是什么?

Full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Seasonal experiences tied to released tickets (such as Tournament Day masu seats) may have earlier deadlines, stated at booking.开始前24小时可全额退款。与已发售门票绑定的季节商品(如大相扑枡席)截止时间可能提前,预约时会明确说明。

Do you offer hotel pick-up?有酒店接送吗?

Experiences start at clearly described meeting points near stations, which keeps prices down. Your confirmation includes exact directions, and your guide waits with a small sign.各体验从车站附近、易于找到的集合点开始(这也是价格得以降低的原因)。确认邮件内附详细路线,向导会举着小牌等您。
