~The Quiet Power of the Japanese Spirit.~

Ise and Kyoto, the two great spiritual sanctuaries of Japan, each demonstrate a distinct "strength" and "wisdom"—a philosophy relevant even to modern leadership and personal ethos.
This Karesansui (dry landscape garden) in the photograph symbolizes the "Kokon Yūgō" (古今融合 - Fusion of Old and New) philosophy upon which Ryōga Concierge's journey is founded.
■ Kyoto's Strength: The Quiet Refinement of Permanence
Kyoto's strength, like the moss in this garden, lies in its commitment to never compromise the "standard of beauty" that has been refined over a thousand years.
In the quiet interspace of stillness, we commune with the "breath" of a thousand years of history. Kyoto embodies the philosophy of maintaining Permanence through quiet refinement. This unwavering commitment to immutability is the source of Kyoto's enduring power.
■ Ise's Strength: The Will for Renewal and Ancient Succession
Ise's strength, on the other hand, is the will to constantly breathe life into ancient forms through Renewal.
Ise Grand Shrine. Why does this most sacred site remain outside the World Heritage framework? Because it adheres to the philosophy of Shikinen Sengū(式年遷宮)—a complete Renewal every 20 years. Instead of being bound to "preservation of the past," Ise chooses to inherit ancient wisdom by strictly recreating the ancient style ("Koshiki")—driven by the wish that "the Gods always reside in a pristine and youthful shrine." To live eternally through change. This philosophy parallels the Sujimono (raked sand patterns) in the photograph, which constantly redraws a fleeting moment of beauty anew.
■Ryoga Concierge's Travel Philosophy
The Intersection of Two Extremes.
Ryoga Concierge's journeys are born where the two extremes of Kyoto's "Strict Succession (Quiet Refinement)" and Ise's "Renewal of Ancient Style" intersect.
