Thank you for visiting the official TAMAYA website.

I have loved bonsai and gardening since childhood. I began practicing floral arrangement at fifteen and started working in a flower shop at eighteen. Along the way, I explored various jobs, but looking back, the majority of my life has been spent in the company of flowers.

Through living alongside flowers, I learned to see the true essence of things. I experienced the beauty and fragility of life, the preciousness of every encounter, and the fleeting nature of time. These realizations have become vital nourishment for my life.

When I was twenty-eight, I visited Taiwan for the first time for work. I was deeply captivated by the thoughtfulness, warmth, and cheerfulness of the Taiwanese people, as well as the natural, relaxing sense of familiarity here. Having traveled to many countries, no other place has made me want to return time and time again quite like Taiwan. It was then that I realized just how much I love this country.

I gradually began to wonder if there was something I could do for Taiwan in my own way—if I could become a small bridge connecting Japan and Taiwan. So, I left my stable job as a civil servant, chose to relocate to Taiwan, and founded TAMAYA.

In the early days of starting the business—unfamiliar with the environment, lacking capital, connections, and the ability to speak Chinese—it was the unwavering support and help of many Taiwanese friends that brought us to where we are today: a thriving flower shop with a wonderful team. I want to sincerely say to everyone who has supported TAMAYA: Thank you.

Looking ahead, beyond our original intention to be "Taiwan's most welcoming flower shop," we also aim to continuously cultivate a secure, reassuring work environment for our employees, while providing every customer with the most heartfelt floral arrangements and service.

We hope you will join us in witnessing TAMAYA's continued growth.
