Here, you can feel awe of nature and the heartbeat of the Earth, reminding you that our roots lie in nature and that we are all connected. The island’s virgin forests, woods, sea, and wind gently soothe tired minds and bodies, naturally filling your heart with gratitude for the everyday.
Reviews
It was all good. I especially liked the fact that there was time for zazen in several places instead of just visiting tourist spots. It was my first time to do zazen, and I found the experience of sitting in the same place for more than 10 minutes to be very meaningful.

Thank you so much for the three days. We had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time. The best thing about participating was that we were able to share and exchange opinions with others beyond our age and job. It was a time for me to sort out what I was lacking and what I haven’t been able to sort out. I will move forward. Thank you.
