"Fukai Kankei Taiken" means "Deep Relationship Experience."

Most Japanese tours advertise about seeing sights, often referring to outdated orientalist stereotypes about "experiencing the mystery of Japan" or "seeing the essence of Japanese culture." 

​

Fukai Kankei is about deep relationships with communities and people, developed over decades.  There is no "essence of Japan," and no "mystery."  There are, however about 125 million individual stories, bound together by a common culture and history.  We get to know several of them, participating as welcome parts of those communities.
