COMMITTED TO
 RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL PRACTICES

“Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, meeting the needs of visitors, professionals, the environment and host communities. »

What matters to me:

- Offer variety in content, in order to disperse the flow of visitors in the archipelago according to their deep interests and lighten the load on the major tourist centers.

- Use as many local services as possible, and pay each participant their fair value .
- Actively participate in preserving heritage for future generations.

- Take care to respect the natural and urban environment in order to share warm and unique moments with residents and allow them to live peacefully with tourism.

Logo de Secrets d'artisan Japonais : Yatagarasu en kimono

The Three Legged Crow

Our logo features a yatagarasu: a three-legged raven.

The yatagarasu is a mythological three-legged raven found in Japanese culture. Originating in Shinto folklore, it appears in several legends, the most famous of which relates that it guided the legendary emperor Jimmu in his quest to unify Japan. Considered a messenger of the gods, particularly the sun goddess Amaterasu, yatagarasu symbolizes guidance and wisdom.

Our yatagarasu is wearing a “samue”, the traditional garment of Japanese craftsmen. Its reverse fastening symbolizes the past generations to whom we owe Japan's age-old craftsmanship.
