We are not just babysitters. We are OMOTENASHI Sitters — keepers of Japanese hospitality, and tellers of its oldest stories.
Our role is to bring the spirit of Japanese omotenashi to your children and to help them create joyful memories that last a lifetime — through the art of cultural experience.
While your children enjoy a private Japanese culture tour within your room, you are completely free. Step out, dine, and savour precious time reserved for grown-ups, entirely at ease.
A knock at the door. A furoshiki unwraps like a treasure chest — and your room becomes a tiny Japan. Paper cranes take flight, princess cards whisper old poems, and a yukata turns your little one into the hero of tonight's story.
Only professionals who have cleared Japan's rigorous national standards — with proven childcare skill and a genuine spirit of hospitality — join our team.
国家資格保持者Safe, special experiences held within your hotel or ryokan room — origami, mizuhiki, tea whisking, simple Japanese lessons and more, taught gently through all five senses. Communication is guided by Japanese, courteous gestures, and heartfelt omotenashi.
While your children are cared for within the room, you are free to step out entirely. Enjoy a truly indulgent, adults-only interlude with complete peace of mind.
For parents who wish to watch over their children from afar, we provide a temporary in-room smart monitoring camera at no charge — check the live view any time from your smartphone, for the very highest reassurance.
