Don’t settle for just the usual tourist spots—experience something truly special!
Join us for an authentic journey into Japanese swimming culture, surrounded by the natural beauty of Kyoto’s Mt. Kurama.
Japanese swimming has a deep history and a refined set of customs.
“What is the proper way to bathe?”
“What etiquette should I follow?”
Our swimming specialist will guide you gently and clearly through everything you need to know.
You will also experience outdoor air-bathing, where you lie down and let the cool mountain air relax both your mind and body. Before entering the baths, you’ll change into a traditional yukata, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a Japanese hot spring retreat.
Before the swimming session begins, you can also enjoy a recommended matcha drink, a perfect way to start your wellness experience.
Soaking in warm water while being surrounded by the quiet mountains of Kurama is a deeply soothing and unforgettable moment for both body and spirit.
