Journeys to Discover Hidden Depth

Enjoy the sheer beauty of the fleeting of time. A train trip in eastern Japan for a truly extraordinary lifetime experience.

The times and the seasons are constantly changing. People, things, and ideas are brought into existence one after the other, and then quietly fade away once they have served their purpose.

Deeper and deeper, a journey leads to some seasons, some places, and experience the beauty of the transience in each moment. A journey that will bring you the happiness of knowing that there are still new discoveries to be made.
