The perfect way to escape the city life - I had an incredible experience at Yusuke-San's class. From the beginning, we felt safe and welcomed at the retreat in the foothills of the picturesque Mt Fuji. We were given an outline of what to expect for the day, and every activity that we participated in was nothing short of amazing. The way we were able to experience authentic ancient traditions is something that I will never forget. I came out of the class with my mind and spirit refreshed and reset. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to escape the busy cities of Japan to clear their minds and hearts.

Fantastic experience - Such an incredible experience!! The instructor is a real samurai who has trained for 19 years! He shows you his personal katana swords, teaches you how to use them and then helps you slash a rolled-up tatami mat. It was really fun and I actually felt accomplished at the end! Also, he’s a wonderful musician and plays the flute, the sound bowl and chants while you lay down in a historic Japanese house with nature all around you. It was a great combination of activity and relaxing!
