Most historical buildings in Japan are Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines, and since for the most part, they’re all made of wood, the areas surrounding them are covered by strict fire regulations. Some temples can be used for parties, though, with special permission which JTBGMT is able to arrange.

The Japanese garden of a temple can be a wonderful venue for a cocktail party. We can organize traditional koto (Japnese harp), fue (flute) and taiko (drum) music to enhance the uniquely Japanese atmosphere, adding the perfect complement to the garden venue.

After the cocktail party in the garden, enjoy dinner at a restaurant located close to the temple's garden. Both Japanese and Western menus are available, and we'll even arrange a Maiko and Geisha performance during dinner. Maiko and Geisha are women who make a profession of providing entertainment for banquets and are known for their colorful kimono.
