Yes, quiet time is valued here.

Within this retreat,

you gently reconnect with sensations

that are often overlooked in daily life.

The quiet time begins

as you cross the gentle sea by ferry.

From the view over the islands of the Seto Inland Sea,

to the soft light filtering onto the shoji screens,

to the deep red sun sinking into the horizon,

these wordless experiences

quietly deepen the time.
