About

Awaji Island's great nature, at 135 degrees east longitude,
offers a Zen experience Zenbo Seinei

spreading out as far as the eye can see
in the seasonal scenery of Awaji Island
through a retreat experience to heal your mind and body
and to spend time facing yourself
.

It is a one-of-a-kind building designed by
Shigeru Ban, winner of the
"Pritzker Prize," the highest honor in the world of architecture.

The building is made of wood.
In particular, the 100-meter-long wooden deck made of a combination of Japanese cedar
and wood,
allows you to walk barefoot and feel the warmth and aroma of the wood
.

You will feel healing in this
special space where you can enjoy brilliant sunlight, clear air, and
magnificent greenery.

In a space surrounded by nature,
through meditation and yoga,
balance the body and mind.

Under the supervision of Chef Nobuaki Fushiki, a fermentation and brewing chef,
we take into account seasonal and physical changes and
approach our meals to prepare the mind and body
.

We do not use animal products, flour, oil, or white sugar.
We strive to create a healthy diet that is gentle on the body.


We value the Japanese food culture of "fermentation,"
and use only carefully selected seasonings made using traditional methods that take from one to three years to mature.
We also serve homemade amazake and soy sauce that has not yet stopped fermenting.

Surrounded by nature,
Awaji Island is a treasure trove of ingredients.
We use local, seasonal ingredients as much as possible and
make the most of the flavors of the ingredients in our
cuisine.

Surrounded by nature,
we are grateful for the bounty of the earth and hope you will enjoy Zenbodishes from season to season
.

Zenbo Seinei,
The beauty of the unnecessary things that have been stripped away to the extreme.
We seek to create the ultimate retreat space for tranquility and introspection
,
We have created every space in our facilities with the utmost
care and attention to detail.
