Instructors and Attendants -The WAK JAPAN's Pride
WAK JAPAN’s instructors and attendants are local experts,
all deeply knowledgeable about their field and passionate about supporting travellers.
Based on one of the philosophies of the Way of Tea,
Ichigo-Ichie, they offer creative and memorable culture experiences for each customer,
creating unique and precious moments shared by the customers and instructors alike.
Here are just some of the approximately 50 attendants we are proud of:

Mieko Nomura
Cooking
As DASHI (broth stock) is most important for WASHOKU (Japanese cuisine), first I teach how to make it.
Using the Japanese unique cooking utensils such as a wooden tub for making sushi rice and a square pan for rolling eggs, I always do my best not only to make pleasant WASHOKU cooking but also to introduce the culture of WASHOKU to visitors from overseas.
Asuka Adachi
Traditional culture experience
Everytime I meet our guests, I make it a custom to refer to the connection between the traditional culture and our modern life.
Then that leads to an understanding of Japanese people and society.
At the end of the program, guests show me a smile with satisfaction.
Those smile encourages me a lot.
Living abroad for 5 years and travelling to many countries and regions gave me an opportunity to really get to know diverse people and cultures.
