Wabunka (A Brand by J-CAT)

Wabunka is J-CAT’s brand dedicated to individual travelers, offering over 270 authentic experiences, including cultural activities and accommodation-based experiences at traditional ryokans (Japanese-style inns), as of March 2025.

Each listing on the Wabunka website includes detailed descriptions and photos, making it easy for guests and travel advisors to browse and book.

Wabunka Enterprise

While Wabunka focuses on FITs (typically 1–6 guests), Wabunka Enterprise caters to larger groups and corporate events, designing custom cultural experiences led by masters in fields such as Japanese flower arrangement, calligraphy, and Zen meditation.

Often held at exclusive venues - such as historic temples, private gardens, or hard-to-book restaurants - these events are ideal for team building, MICE, and VIP programs, accommodating anywhere from 5 to 300 guests.
