【J-CAT, Inc.】Experience the Best of Japan’s Arts, Culture, and Traditions with Wabunka and Wabunka Enterprise

Private experiences with premier artists and artisans at unique venues around Tokyo

Inspired by the enduring culture and craftsmanship of Japan, J-CAT brings high-quality, curated cultural experiences to the world. Specializing in private sessions, J-CAT connects international guests with top artisans in Tokyo and beyond for activities like tea ceremonies, Japanese ink painting, traditional instruments, and swordsmithing.

The Wabunka website provides detailed descriptions and photos of each experience, making it easy for guests and travel agents to explore and plan. Wabunka Enterprise serves larger groups and corporate events, offering tailored experiences such as sessions with masters of Japanese flower arrangement, calligraphy, zen meditation, and more. These are often held at venues usually closed to the public, such as prestigious temples, gardens or hard-to-book restaurants. Both services accommodate not only travel planning but also team building, MICE, and VIP events.

A key feature that has impressed even high-status international guests is J-CAT’s network of expert guide interpreters, who enhance each experience by facilitating meaningful conversations and memories. Popular experiences include a chopstick-making workshop unique to Tokyo, and food-focused programs like experiencing Buddhist vegetarian cuisine—ideal for vegan guests—as well as Edomae-style sushi making, Japanese sweets crafting, and sake tasting.

Wabunka Enterprise can also create custom programs, allowing guests to engage with artists and artisans, gaining inspiration through direct conversations at historic Tokyo locations such as Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple and Kanda Myojin Shrine.
