Overview

This 60-minute(90min in total) Japanese Sound Bath uses rare Japanese instruments and subtle vibrations to help the body relax and the mind naturally become quieter.

Unlike meditation practices that require concentration, there is nothing you need to do. Simply lie down, close your eyes, and listen with your whole body.

As the body lets go, attention can gradually settle. Sound becomes a doorway into stillness—a meditative space to disconnect from the noise of travel and reconnect with yourself.

More than relaxation, this is a therapeutic sound experience rooted in Japanese sensitivity to sound, silence, and space.

What to expect

After a short introduction, lie down comfortably, close your eyes, and simply listen. There is no technique to learn and nothing you need to achieve.

During the 60-minute Sound Bath, rare Japanese sound instruments create layers of resonance around you. As the session progresses, some instruments are gently placed on or near the body, allowing you to experience not only the sound but also their subtle physical vibrations.

Rather than trying to meditate or stop your thoughts, let the sound guide your attention naturally. As the body relaxes, the mind often begins to settle, creating space for stillness and a deeper meditative experience.

After the session, you can see and experience the Japanese instruments up close.

The Sound Bath lasts 60 minutes. Please allow approximately 80–90 minutes in total, including the introduction and time afterward.
