Register

Have you been interested in visiting Japan but don’t know wHEre to begin or feel overwHElmed?

Sadou inn is HEre to alleviate tHE stress of planning, bOOking and competing with millions of otHEr tourists

Dive into a deeper experience of Japan with the friendly guidance of local craftspeople and your English speaking hosts! This tour is a perfect way to absorb a less-touristed region of Japan in a rich and authentic way. We have curated this tour with art, architecture, and design-lovers in mind to have full immersion in the art islands of Naoshima & Teshima and the nearby historical town of Kurashiki (also famous as the denim fashion capital of Japan!)

Our tour includes 6 nights accommodation and 5 days of full, yet well-paced activities and personalized guiding. One day will be dedicated to an introduction to Japanese language and cultural classes to ease the guests into their environment. Quintessential Japanese experiences are also offered throughout the week.

The goal of this Culture Tour is that, even if this was your only experience of Japan, you would leave feeling very complete!
