## What is Kizuna?

Kizuna helps you decide, in seconds, whether today is a good day to visit a client, send a gift, or travel in Japan. Built for people who work, live, or travel between cultures - clear answers, no fluff, and no missed public holidays.

WHAT KIZUNA DOES
1. Today view: one card that tells you if today is a national holiday, a long weekend, or a sensitive etiquette window - now with a weather-aware context for your day.
2. Full Japan holiday calendar with month-by-year browsing and long-weekend highlights.
3. Scenario advice for client visits, gift giving, return gifts, and business trips - each with the reason and better alternative dates.
4. Culture-aware etiquette cards written from a Japanese point of view, not machine-translated fluff.
5. Smart reminders before Golden Week, Obon, Oseibo, Ochugen, and other moments that shape the year.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE KIZUNA
- You don't need a calendar. You need a decision.
- No more scheduling a meeting the day before a public holiday and looking careless.
- Send omiyage or okaeshi at the right time - not too early, not too late.
- Works offline, so it still answers when you are roaming in Japan.
