You'll sleep on traditional tatami floors, savor temple-prepared vegetarian meals, and bathe in the serene quiet of centuries-old gardens, lantern-lit corridors, and ceremonial stillness. This immersive space is both a refuge and portal designed to help you return to yourself.

Experience the awe of Mt. Fuji in her full glory—framed by blooming cherry blossoms and snow-capped majesty. We’ll journey to one of Japan’s most iconic viewpoints for a sacred day of nature immersion, gentle walking, and heartfelt reflection beneath the sakura. This once-in-a-lifetime moment is timed with the peak of spring’s ephemeral beauty.

Daily Yoga, Breathwork,
Sound Healing + More

Each day is grounded in practices that awaken and restore. Through morning yoga, breathwork, and evening sound immersions, you’ll connect more deeply to your body, energy, and spirit. You’ll also be invited into cultural experiences led by Buddhist monks and temple stewards. This fusion of somatic healing and traditional wisdom supports full-body restoration and soulful connection.

Accomodations: Temple Lodging Kakurinbo

Nestled in the serene mountains of Japan, our entire stay will take place at a historic Japanese Buddhist Temple, offering traditional tatami rooms, hot springs, and breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. This temple is not just accommodation... it’s a portal. A place where monks have meditated for centuries, where silence echoes wisdom, and where nature and spirit meet in perfect harmony.
