Osaka · Japan
Small teams. One direction.
Humble Bumble Hanma is the cooperative that runs everything we do: guiding travellers, connecting agencies, advising on Japan and building technology.
The cooperative
The cooperative
It started with one guide showing Kyoto in three languages. Then came the agencies, the questions from people who wanted to invest in Japan, and the websites nobody knew how to build in Arabic. Each craft grew under its own name; HBH is what holds them together.
Divisions
Four crafts, one cooperative.
