Day Trip 
Stay Plan 
On a midsummer moonlit night
with a natural cool breeze from the forest
cools the evening
Let the overtones of hand pans and singing rinse
take you on a journey to the depths of your consciousness
Only here
, you will be embraced by the fantastic sounds and nature
, where you can work on your mind and body to heal them.
We will offer seasonal herbal teas to heal your body from the summer heat and
regulate the energies of your mind and body.
Sit and meditate on the deck while sipping herbal tea with your whole body bathed in the sound of overtones.
Or lie down and deepen your relaxation.
Please spend your time as you wish.
What is an overtone?
Frequency components that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency are called "overtones." For example, if the fundamental frequency is 100 Hz, the
overtones are in the higher frequency range, such as 200 Hz, 300 Hz, and 400 Hz.
These overtones play a role in giving the sound richness, breadth, and transparency.
Instruments that emphasize specific overtones are called overtone instruments, and the handpan is one such instrument.
What is Overtone Bath?
The sound and vibration of the overtones affect the brain waves and autonomic nervous system, resulting in a deep relaxation effect,
leading to a meditative state and deepening meditation.
It helps to restore harmony and balance to the mind and body and promote wellbeing.

studio classes in her hometown of Aichi for 10 years, and continues to study yoga, Indian philosophy and Buddhism.

Whenever I get tired, I can come back, reset, and start from here.
We welcome everyone who is working hard every day as a "place to come back to".
We invite you to experience "letting go of purpose, time to actively do nothing,"
and realize what you already have, rather than what you can gain.
