A Cultural Journey into Silence
2 Days / 1 Night — Kameoka & Miyama, Kyoto
Limited to a small private group（ Max 4 People）
This Is Not Tourism.
It Is a Return.
Hidden in the mountains of rural Kyoto, this retreat invites you into a slower rhythm of being.
Over two days, you will step out of modern noise and into a landscape where time softens, the air clears, and the heart begins to settle.
This is a cultural and spiritual immersion rooted in land, tradition, and quiet transformation.
🌿 Day One — Purification & Arrival
Your journey begins in Kameoka, Kyoto.
We start with a private Shinto purification ceremony led by a local priest（Guji宮司） — a traditional ritual to symbolically release what you no longer carry and prepare your inner space for renewal.
From there, we travel through beautiful countryside landscapes toward Miyama.
Mountains unfold.
Trees move with the wind.
Silence deepens.
The journey itself becomes part of the meditation.
🌿 Your Stay — 150-Year-Old Thatched Roof house
You will stay in a fully reserved 150-year-old traditional Japanese home with an irori (sunken hearth).
Surrounded by mountains that change with the seasons, and overlooking quiet rice fields, this thatched-roof house offers something rare — complete immersion in nature.
If you stay here, it feels like forest bathing without leaving the house.
Sit on the wide wooden veranda.
Remove the “clock” from your heart and body.
Let time loosen its grip.
From the house, you can walk directly toward Mt. Choro-ga-take (900m elevation), with opportunities for gentle trekking and mindful hiking during your stay.
This is a place where stillness is not created — it already exists.

🌿 What Makes This Different
This retreat is not about learning information.
It is about experiencing atmosphere.
Not sightseeing — but sensing.
Not consuming culture — but entering it.
Participants often describe
• Emotional clarity
• Deep grounding
• Gentle spiritual expansion
• Renewed personal strength
• A quiet opening to new possibilities
When the nervous system relaxes, the heart naturally opens.
When the heart opens, new doors appear.
