Beyond a Guide.

However, what Ninjaya (operated by KAGARIBI) offers is not just a mode of transportation.
Our mission is to resonate with our guests and co-create an immersive journey through time that becomes a lifelong memory.
We believe that pursuing the happiness of our guests leads to our own immense personal growth.

The Artisans of OMOTENASHI Who We Are Looking For
Pursuit & Challenge
A mindset that sees difficulties as opportunities. We seek individuals who are never content with their current selves and are unafraid to acquire deep historical knowledge and refined language skills.
Authentic Hospitality
The ability to read between the lines and understand what guests truly desire, far beyond a standard manual. The ultimate joy comes from quietly exceeding expectations and hearing, “I’m so glad I met you.”
Team Synergy
Understanding that individual power has its limits. We deeply respect our colleagues and work together toward a single mission—the happiness of our guests—while continuously elevating one another.
