Make Japan Beautiful.

日本を、美しく。

A beautiful Japanese garden was created 400 years ago and has been passed down through the generations. A restaurant was built there, aiming to become a spiritual home for Japanese customers and a place to convey Japanese culture to overseas customers. 80 years ago, Happo-en was born to convey and connect the beauty of Japan through "food". From our founding until today, we have expanded our business as a company that celebrates and produces special occasions such as weddings and banquets. We do not just brighten up a moment or a day. We are a place where you can experience the climate, culture and traditions of Japan, and discover new value. That is the reason for our existence, and what we aim to be.

Corporate Philosophy
