After traveling to different parts of the world, I found Japan to be a truly special place. I began spending more time exploring its society—its natural beauty, history, culture, social values, and everyday life. I also started learning Japanese.

As I began writing about the country, I released my first book in October 2026: 36 Gaikokujin Views of Japan. Connecting with like-minded individuals, we joined forces to promote valuable practices and perspectives from the Land of the Rising Sun. Along the way, I realized these insights could genuinely benefit people across Western countries. The positive feedback from our testing phase with partner companies gave us a huge boost. There is so much to learn by diving into Japanese experiences.

During this journey, I realized that sharing perspectives on Japan could be beneficial for people in different Western countries. The feedback received from the companies we worked with in the testing stages was a strong boost! There is so much to learn from diving into Japanese experiences!

Using Japonaisseur as a platform, we initiated a set of projects:

• Publishing the book “36 Gaikokujin Views of Japan. From the Thrills of the Tokyo Marathon to the Silence of Mount Koya” is a first step in connecting with broad audiences, with different segments of people having interests in Japanese matters.
• Conducting an international survey (March 2026) to evaluate how people in Europe and the USA perceive Japan (with key findings featured in the book).
• Corporate workshops and presentations tailored to specific topics like wellbeing, sustainability, travel, or longevity.
• Cultural events hosted in local communities, universities, and schools.

We have a long experience in consulting, helping leaders optimize marketing and management decisions based on data and insights. This is one of our strong foundations in adjusting Japanese life and business lessons into actionable programs, with positive impact on people and corporate culture.

If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to offer your colleagues or friends a memorable, unique experience, let’s get in touch!
