Welcome to the Festival of Japan
Welcome to the Festival of Japan, where our deep passion for Japan has led us on incredible journeys beyond our wildest imagination. Our adventures have taken us to Kyoto, where we had the privilege of meeting geisha and introducing their enigmatic traditions to the UK, marking the beginning of The Festival of Japan. Our lives are intertwined with the rich tapestry of Japanese culture, and our mission is to share the diverse beauty of this country with everyone. This platform is exclusively dedicated to that purpose.
Here, you will find a comprehensive range of services designed to facilitate your exploration of this magnificent country. Immerse yourself in the wonders of Japan by embarking on city tours led by Jill Clay, where you can explore temples, shrines, and vibrant markets. Delight in firsthand experiences with traditional Japanese crafts, allowing you to connect with the country’s artistic heritage. My range of tours are tailor-made for those passionate about Japanese textiles, arts, crafts, and culture.
My approach is relaxed and enjoyable, I also offer you the unique opportunity to delve face to face into the world of geisha alongside experts like Jill and Peter MacIntosh. Alternatively, if you prefer to self-guide your own Japanese adventure, I can arrange every aspect of your trip, ensuring that your journey is seamlessly orchestrated. This is all part of what I do at the Festival of Japan.
