Inspired Living

Our projects are born from a dream to explore what it truly means to live well, blending Japan's timeless wisdom into modern life.
The word ‘maana’ means ‘senses,’ inviting you on a journey that awakens your senses. Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s simple yet profound way of living, where luxury is found in the simplicity and quiet of everyday moments.

Maana Experiences
