We believe travel is more than just a destination, it’s a cultural exchange. In our minds, Nagomi Visit is one of the best ways to learn about Japanese culture and build friendships that span continents.
What is a Nagomi Visit?
This not-for-profit organization’s mission is to bridge the gap between cultures by providing unique dining experiences for tourists in Japan. It all began when its founder, Megumi Kusunoki, noticed that just seeing famous landmarks didn’t truly express the authentic culture countries have to offer.
So in 2011 she launched Nagomi Visit. Her goal was to open up the doors of local Japanese homes to visitors from all over the world, providing an authentic cultural encounter over a shared meal.
What to Expect From a Nagomi Visit
Nagomi Visit is an immersive experience. You’re invited into a family’s home to share a Japanese dinner with your host. Every visit is unique, just like you and your new found friends.
No matter the activities, every one of our guests that has participated in a Nagomi Visit has enjoyed their experience immensely. They got a unique chance to share stories and laughter with their hosts, made new friends, and forged a bond with Japan that became a precious keepsake from their journey.
Nagomi Visit is a Two-Way Street
Experiencing Japan through a Nagomi Visit is the best way to learn about Japanese culture. They’re a cultural two-way street, offering you an authentic slice of Japanese life while also benefiting the host families.
What Are You Waiting For?
These visits are all about meeting a local family, having great conversations, understanding a different culture, and experiencing everyday life in Japan. Imagine cooking alongside your host while they share their family recipes handed down through generations.
Nagomi Visit offers a taste of Japan that few travelers get to savor. As you return home, you’ll have more than memories of breathtaking sights, but meaningful personal relationships and subtle cultural insights.
So, take the less-traveled path, and indulge your discriminating tastes differently, adding an irreplaceable depth to your Japanese adventure.
