A PERSONAL MESSAGE

From Fumi,
with warmth.

THE WELCOME BEHIND THE WEBSITE

Made with care.
Free to explore.

A journey worth taking. A little place to eat. The words that help a conversation begin.

Creating these guides, checking the details and keeping the website running takes time, care and money. Your support helps keep that work going.

Read Fumi’s message

Hello, I’m Fumi.

I hope my website helps you have the best possible holiday in Japan.

Perhaps you’ve found a journey you’d love to take, a lovely little place to eat, or a few Japanese words that make someone smile.

I want my website to stay free, without pop-up advertising interrupting your plans or booking commissions shaping my recommendations.

But creating the guides, checking the details and keeping everything running takes time, care—and money.

If you’ve found something useful here, a small contribution would mean a great deal.

It’s a lovely way to say thank you—and it helps me pass the same welcome on to the next traveller.

情けは人のためならず

KINDNESS CAN TRAVEL, TOO

A thank-you here.
A welcome further on.

“Kindness finds its way back.”

A loose English rendering of a Japanese proverb about kindness returning in time.

Perhaps something here made your plans easier or your holiday a little richer. Your thank-you helps someone else find that same welcome.

恩返しOn-gaeshi
Giving kindness back.
恩送りOn-okuri
Passing kindness on.

That is the spirit of this little room.

Leave a little kindness

A FEW SMALL DETAILS

Thoughtful. Yours.

Japanese words & artwork

お心づかい expresses thoughtful consideration. “A little kindness” is the room’s English interpretation. The objects’ short English captions describe their role in this room.

The meanings of 恩返し and 恩送り are drawn from Shogakukan’s Digital Daijisen, hosted by Kotobank. The proverb’s meaning is explained by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

The tea room and four objects are original AI-assisted Fumi artwork, created for this page. The garden is an imagined scene.
