This 12-day spiritual Reiki immersion in Japan is an exceptional opportunity to become a Reiki master, practice, deepen, or discover the spirituality and folklore of Japan, and enhance your meditation practice.

Exploring and experiencing Japanese culture and spirituality in its homeland is a one-of-a-kind experience that will forever transform your life and your understanding of Japanese traditions, including Reiki and meditation.

Each morning, you’ll enjoy Reiki and meditation classes at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, truly special spiritual places. In the afternoons, you’ll immerse yourself in the culture and folklore of rural Japan, the lesser-known side of Japan.

This immersive journey will take place in Tono, Iwate, one of the few places in Japan that preserves these traditions without catering to tourism. Here, you’ll participate in the Tea Ceremony (Chadô), uncover the Legends of Tono, visit Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, meet their guardians, practice Reiki and meditation in sacred places, share moments with local farmers, healers, craftsmen, and traders, enjoy the beauty of the Japanese countryside, and discover the magic of rice fields in spring. Of course, you’ll also have an immersion in the rich Japanese culinary culture.

Only 8 spots available!

Location
Tono, Iwate, Japan

Tono is a little Japanese gem located about 500 km northeast of Tokyo. It is still preserved from the chaos of the country’s main tourist destinations. With a population of only twenty-eight thousand inhabitants, Tono has more than fifty local groups specialized in folk dances and rituals: Shishiodori, Kagura, Sansa or Nanbubayashi, some of them recognized as intangible world heritage by UNESCO. In addition, in Tono there are Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, sacred mountains and magical forests that are worth a visit.

Tono is recognized, nationally and internationally, as the cradle of Japanese folk tales: Stories transmitted orally for centuries until they were compiled and edited by the father of Japanese ethnology, Kunio Yanagita, under the title “Legends of Tono” (1910). A special atmosphere permeates Tono; Stories about deceitful spirits, wise gods, and special human beings are easily heard from the mouths of city dwellers, who are happy to share them if asked.

The trip is thoughtfully planned to give you a special and genuine spiritual and cultural Japanese experience.
