The Luminaire: The Way of the Samurai
Enter the world of the samurai on The Luminaire's exclusive six-day journey from the neon pulse of Tokyo to the coastal edge of Kagoshima. Guests receive rare access to one-on-one combat training with master swordsmen, private Shinto ceremonies closed to the public, and intimate workshops with heritage artisans. Each private itinerary is guided by experts focused on Japan's Edo period, grounding the journey with culture and artistry rather than performance. Between the action, the immersion continues with luxury stays at the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo and heritage hotels near Kagoshima's volcanic rim. A personal Travel Designer coordinates additional experiences—from private onsens and natural hot springs, to volcanic hikes and private music performances—shaping a journey that balances luxury, culture, and discipline.
