About

Featuring unique venues carefully selected from all over Japan.
We offer one-stop support for everything from event planning and venue arrangements to preparations and day-of operations.

In Japan, you can find historic buildings, temples, shrines, gardens, museums, art galleries, and public spaces, each deeply rooted in the region's natural, historical, artistic, cultural, and industrial heritage. Utilizing these facilities and spaces for events and receptions plays a vital role in attracting and hosting MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) activities.
UNIQUE VENUES OF JAPAN provides a centralized compilation of carefully selected unique venues from across the country. We offer one-stop support for everything from event planning and venue arrangements to preparations and day-of operations in these special locations .
Additionally, by sharing case studies and expertise on utilizing unique venues both domestically and internationally, we aim to enhance the branding of the venues themselves and their regions. This effort contributes to the preservation of local culture, supports the SDGs, and promotes sustainable tourism.
