About

A quiet journey through Western Japan—one that begins not with motion, but with stillness.
In a Zen temple in Fukuyama, time slows. You sit in silence, dine with intention, and bathe as if each breath were sacred.
The sea breeze carries you along the Shimanami Kaido, where island life flows gently and locals greet you with open hearts.
In Hiroshima, beneath the shadow of history, you listen—to the past, to the present, to your own thoughts.
This is not simply travel. It’s a return to the senses, and to the self..

Day 1: The day of Zen

Can You Let Go of Your Ego?

You’ll experience a new kind of Zen that blends art and traditional practice.
For lunch, we’ll introduce you to shokuzen—a meditative meal based on what Zen monks once practiced.
