OMOTENASHI – Japanese Hospitality

Omotenashi – The Heart of Japanese Hospitality
By Muneyuki Joraku

It could be the CEO of a big company, a famous star or an ordinary housewife, but there’s only one simple relationship between host and guest. An example of the best Omotenashi is when the host anticipates the needs of the guest in advance and offers a pleasant service that guests don’t expect. They should not wait for instructions from their guests, as guests who make their requests directly are considered unsophisticated in Japan.
