The most moving moments lie beyond the guidebook.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The moments that move us most, like a casual conversation with a local or the color of a sunset that suddenly catches your eye, are often not found at famous sights or restaurants. That is why we value each guest\u2019s reason for traveling.<\/p>

\u201cKan-akane\u201d is a kigo, a seasonal word used in haiku, describing a sunset glowing in the bitter cold of winter. For me, the moment my heart is moved is when I come across a beautiful sunset on a winter day. Everyone is moved by different things, and I want to bring those moments to each traveler. That is where KAN\u2011AKANE began.<\/p>

When I studied in Shanghai, local people spoke about their culture with a passion no guidebook could capture. Some things can only be conveyed by the people who live there. This conviction is why I have devoted myself to the travel business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
