Maison Kissako - Unique travel activities for VIPs on a private-only basis in Japan
Activity Maison Kissako is a collective of travel designers specialising in creating unique travel activities for VIPs, operating on a private-only and referral basis.
Prior to COVID, they predominantly offered sushi and fish market-related VIP activities, such as a sushi making class with Michelin-starred chefs, since its founder, Tsubasa Kaieda, used to work at a tuna dealer in the world’s biggest Tsukiji fish market (the current ‘Toyosu Market’).
Today, they have expanded their grand, unique activities to other fields, and these include, among many others, the following marvels:
· A private tea ceremony or zen meditation session at a private temple within Daitokuji, the Mecca of tea ceremonies
· Toyosu Market sourcing tours accompanied by a chef from a Michelin-listed restaurant
· Asakusa nightlife tours with a current sumo wrestler
· Bonsai trimming experience with a bonsai artist in a private, art-filled venue
· Special access to the inside a National Treasure at Nanzenji, the highest ranked zen temple in Japan Osaka
· Sumo stable training visits during regional tournaments in Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagoya
· Kyoto vegetable harvesting experience and Kyoto cuisine class with a Michelin-listed chef
· Visit to a tea farm in Uji followed by a special matcha cocktail experience with an award-winning bartender
