The Challenge

Japan has become one of the world's most popular destinations, but art tourism, which is gaining momentum among the world's cultured and wealthy, is still in its infancy and is lagging behind other major cities.

Japanese temples and shrines are precious cultural and historical assets in Japan, but due to a decline in the number of parishioners and the decline of religious ceremonies, the number of closed temples is increasing as they struggle with economic viability.

The Innovation

We have proved the potential of combining "Art", such as contemporary art and classical music as well as Japanese traditional arts, with the spiritual "Space" of Japanese temples and shrines to produce tourism content that is unique in the world and can attract cultured and wealthy people from all over the world.

Art & Space is in the process of fully developing its services as a premium DMC, starting with services for luxury brands and companies seeking special and exquisite events and trips for VIPs.
