Highlights
Discover meditation without trying to meditate. In a quiet traditional tatami room, simply lie down, close your eyes, and experience a private 60-minute Japanese Sound Bath. There is no posture to maintain, no breathing technique to follow, and no need to control your thoughts. Rare Japanese instruments create layers of resonance and subtle vibrations around and through the body. As the body begins to relax, attention can naturally settle and the mind may become quieter. This is a different approach to meditation—less about concentration and more about listening with your whole body. Completely private, with no other guests, the experience offers a quiet pause from Kyoto’s busy streets and a chance to experience Japanese sensitivity to sound, silence, and space. Highlights • Private lying-down meditation for deep relaxation in a traditional tatami room • 60-minute Japanese Sound Bath using rare Japanese instruments • Experience sound and subtle vibrations through the whole body

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
