Q.
What should I bring?
A.

No special items are required.


Please come in comfortable clothing

that allows you to move and relax easily.

You may sit cross-legged during meditation,

so clothing that allows this is recommended.


As it is customary in Japan to remove shoes indoors,

shoes that are easy to take on and off are helpful.

Socks are also recommended for comfort.


We suggest preparing according to the season.

We will share a weather forecast and temperature guidance before your visit.

The Seto Inland Sea region is generally mild,

and temperatures rarely drop below freezing even in winter.
