Retreat Venue
Step onto a Authentic Noh Stage
In the heart of Kamakura — a city known for its samurai history and Zen spirit — you’ll find a rare chance to step onto an authentic Noh stage, a sacred place where art, mindfulness, and tradition meet.
For over 600 years, the Noh stage has represented the beauty of silence and simplicity in Japanese culture.
Built from natural wood and open to the surrounding garden, it carries a quiet energy where every sound and movement feels alive.
Just being in this peaceful space — surrounded by stillness, history, and natural — feels like a retreat for the soul.
