Step into a different kind of journey with MK—Japan’s most refined private charter experience. From white-gloved drivers trained like pilots to luxury vehicles gliding through sacred temples and neon skylines, every ride is tailored to you. Discover Japan’s hidden gems with effortless comfort, local expertise, and unmatched hospitality. MK isn’t just transport—it’s the start of your story.

High in the mists of Mount Hiei, Enryakuji Temple still hums with the presence of monks, mysteries, and mountain gods. Once Japan’s most powerful Buddhist complex, this spiritual fortress has endured sieges, fires, and political collapse—yet its eternal light still burns. From ancient warrior monks to modern ascetics on the kaihōgyō path, this is the sacred seat of Tendai Buddhism. Follow MK into Japan’s mother mountain of awakening.

Kamado Shrine in Fukuoka is no ordinary shrine—it’s split between the base and summit of Mt. Hōman, one of Japan’s sacred mountains. Long associated with love, protection, and mysticism, it honors Tamayorihime, mother of Emperor Jimmu. From ancient rituals to anime pilgrimages, this shrine fuses history, folklore, and design into one unforgettable experience.

Once feared, now beloved, Shinsekai is Osaka’s chaotic, retro dreamscape where neon light meets battered kushikatsu, and old-school arcades glow beneath Tsutenkaku’s gaze. This MK Deep Dive traces the neighborhood’s transformation—from 1910 ambition to postwar decay to a new wave of reverence. Step into the unpolished soul of a city too bold to imitate, and too alive to fade.

Azabujuban might be best known for its boutiques and designer dogs, but tucked between the luxury is a taste of New York—wax-paper-wrapped bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches and foldable pepperoni slices served with swagger. In this MK Presents dispatch, a Queens-born writer explores two Tokyo spots that channel NYC energy through simulated nostalgia, media-fueled devotion, and a surprising attention to greasy detail.

Dotonbori isn’t just a street—it’s Osaka’s neon pulse, where retro-futurism meets fried food and spontaneity. Once a 17th-century canal, now a technicolor fever dream of signage, octopus balls, and late-night regrets. The district’s wild energy—equal parts jazz-era decadence and Blade Runner chaos—turns every walk into a scene. From Glico’s running man to legends of KFC curses and celebratory canal dives, this is where Osaka lives loud.
