Japagrit operates under the concept of "Forge Connections, Fuel Ideas, A Journey Beyond Business," offering business travel experiences for foreign executives and investors visiting Japan in collaboration with Japanese travel agencies. However, instead of providing typical sightseeing tours, we provide a unique service focusing on "Talks"(Top Talk, Professional Talk, Monks Talk and Local Talk)—engaging directly with key persons. This blog focuses on "Monks Talk". By focusing on industries in Osaka and Kyoto, rather than the traditionally business-centric Tokyo, we provide insights and opportunities through a program that combines "business and entertainment."
Features of Monks Talk
1. Unique Encounters with Local Temples and Monks
Japagrit's network has expanded to Wellness field which has been particularly popular among foreign tourists visiting Japan. Among these, the Monks Talk program stands out, offering visits to local temples and access to private spaces typically closed to the public. This unique experience allows participants to engage with monks who share insights rooted in Buddhism, a philosophy deeply embedded in Japanese society. Unlike visits to well-known heritage sites, Monks Talk takes place in temples cherished by local communities, where participants can explore the intersection of business and Buddhism.
2. Tailored Experiences for Mindful Leaders
Monks Talk is designed for executives seeking mindfulness and rejuvenation. Beyond temple visits and conversations, the program includes personalized elements such as meditation sessions, one-on-one consultations to address individual concerns, and innovative experiences like Zen Buddhism paired with sake tasting. These activities help participants find balance and refresh their perspectives.
3. A Cultural Journey in Kyoto and Osaka
The Monks Talk program is conducted in Kyoto and Osaka—regions with rich cultural and commercial histories. Kyoto, as a former capital, is steeped in tradition, while Osaka, once known as "the nation's kitchen," has a vibrant legacy of commerce. By visiting temples in these historically significant areas, participants gain insights into the contrasts between traditional Buddhist philosophies and modern business practices, offering inspiration for new approaches to work and life.
