Inspired Living
Our projects are born out of the dream to explore what means to live well by weaving Japan's timeless wisdom into modern life.
The word ‘maana’ means ‘senses’, an invitation to a journey that awakens our senses. Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s simple yet profound way of living, where we learn to find beauty in everyday moments.
Maana Experiences
Explore Japan’s ancestral practices to enrich our modern everyday lives. With wisdom passed down through generations, we collaborate with experts to teach us the old ways in a new perspective, offering intimate experiences that inspire intentional living.
