Some people have been moved to tears.

It was also selected as the No. 3 most popular experience in the world by American Express.

Encircled by beautiful nature, you can connect with your body through the wisdom and swordsmanship of the samurai that has been passed down since ancient times, refresh and tune your mind and body, and connect to your inner self through meditation, providing an opportunity to rediscover your true self.

In addition, the healing sounds of traditional Japanese instruments such as flutes and drums will purify and energise your mind. Along with the authentic sword dance, improvised music will also be performed on the spot.
It will touch your soul and move your heart.
The experience host is also a talented artist active around the world.

The luxurious private river and beautiful nature that serve as the venue are wonderful places where you can feel the spirituality of the ancient Japanese people who lived in connection with all things.
Just swimming in the sound of the babbling river seems to purify and dissolve the mind and body.

Please come and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, purify yourself in nature, and realign yourself.
We look forward to seeing you.
