NPO DENTO

In partnership with a tourism company, Windows to Japan, we planned a system to integrate sustainable travel.

 

We connect tourists with workshops that are not open to the public to provide a niche experience.

This way, the tourists can connect deeper with the Japanese culture, and interact with craftsmen behind what they see in travel from crafts, architecture, performance, and cuisines. 

​

Part of the revenue will be given back to the community through donations to NPO DENTO.

​

NPO DENTO funds young craftsmen to participate in educational programs and mentorship necessarily to not only inherit the craftsmanship but to develop their brand, and to expand their market to strengthen their business.
