&LOVER
Making travel more fun and bringing the region closer to you. “&LOVER” was born out of this desire. Global staff members from around the world travel to cities on their own to find spots that they would like to introduce to guests. We hope you will enjoy the experience of having a local friend show you around the city.
Harmony with the local community
Connecting with the community will make the city's attractions shine brighter and create new services and experiences. The more such excitement spreads, the more energetic both the business and the community will become! We will create a “fun future” that we will nurture together.

The charm of the region through fragrance
Two original aromas inspired by the lotus flowers of Shinobazu Pond were jointly developed with “At Aroma,” a company specializing in fragrances. One is a deep floral aroma that spreads behind the greenery, and the other is a sacred and serene aroma reminiscent of incense. Please feel the charm of the area through the fragrance.
