Tsukiji Jisaku

In a house that hosts heads of state
grow your people

Learning in the Extraordinary

Some things
the office cannot teach

Logic and skills alone do not move people.
Respect for the other person, poise in how you carry yourself, an ear for what is not said.
These are what a leader working internationally actually needs.

A sukiya house that has hosted people of consequence since 1931, and a 2,600㎡ garden.
Something genuinely out of the ordinary dissolves rank and nationality, and wakes the senses up.

To receive, yourself, the hospitality those guests received.
That is the day of learning only Jisaku can give.

Why what is learned here
takes root

Why Learning Lasts
Why Training Here Works

Because you leave the office
and meet the real thing

  • 一Beyond the Office

    Take off the job title
    somewhere out of the ordinary

    Past the gate, both the noise of Tokyo and the internal hierarchy recede. Tatami, a garden, a setting that reaches the senses — the armour comes off, and people talk on the level regardless of rank or nationality. The psychological safety that decides whether training works is grown by the room itself.

  • 二As VIPs Are Hosted

    The same hospitality
    heads of state receive

    One nakai attends each room, reading even the pauses in the conversation. Receiving for yourself the hospitality that goes beyond any manual is the best possible lesson in customer satisfaction and in bearing — learned through the skin, not a slide deck.

  • 三The Real Thing

    Ninety-five years of the real
    and first-rate teachers

    A sukiya building raised in 1899, with genuine fittings and genuine tools. Masters of tea and calligraphy, craftspeople, geisha — because the people teaching are the best in their field, no session ends up as sightseeing. Each one sharpens taste and liberal-arts judgement.

Programmes chosen
by what you want to achieve

Experience Catalogue

Tea ceremony, ikebana, traditional instruments, shaping sushi by hand. More than twenty serious Japanese cultural experiences, matched to what the training is for. From learning bearing and etiquette to binding a team together to sharpening taste — with first-rate teachers, they become real learning rather than sightseeing.

Japanese cultural experiences

Hospitality 茶

Tea ceremony

The spirit of hospitality, in one bowl of tea. Through the movements and the etiquette, you learn what it is to think of the other person first.

Aesthetics 花

Ikebana

One branch, one flower, and the season is in the room. A quiet hour of making, which trains an eye for empty space and composition.

Energy 剣

Tate — stage swordwork

The bearing of a samurai and the choreography of a fight. Tension, focus, and a genuinely exhilarating change of pace.

Ozashiki 妓

Geisha & hokan

Geisha and a hokan jester invited to your room. Dance, song and sake poured for you — always a hit with guests from abroad.

Live Music 絃

Shamisen & koto

Played live, a few feet away. Japanese music left hanging in the air as the evening closes.

Performance 伎

Kabuki movement

Try the forms of kabuki, from kumadori make-up to the held pose of a mie. Staging that says “Japan” instantly.

※ These are only examples. If there is something you would like that is not listed, please ask — a dedicated member of staff will combine and arrange programmes around your objective.
