EXPERIENCE
Experience meditation at a floating space “Zenbo Seinei” designed by Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban, with a vegetarian fermented food lunch
Let’s soak in the peaceful and quiet atmosphere and experience various meditation activities such as yoga class, breathing exercises, and Japanese calligraphy, which have a calming effect on physical and mental well-being. The long platform for meditation standing on the cliff can give you a 360-degree view of nature in warm wooden space. You can forget the hectic city life. The facility was designed by Shigeru Ban, who is known for his efforts to build efficient shelters for disaster victims using recyclable materials. Try the vegetarian zen monk lunch which uses fresh local ingredients but any sugar, oil, dairy products, flour, or animal products. Japanese fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce and other seasonings still in fermentation. They are beautifully arranged in a variety of small dishes which are needless to say, very healthy. Making your own green maccha tea is also a fun experience.
Highlights
- In a space surrounded by nature, having meditation and yoga helps you restore balance to your mind and body.
- Zenbo Seinei is committed to providing meals that gentle to the body without the use of animal products, flour, oil, or sugar. Valuing the Japanese food culture of “fermentation”, they use only carefully selected seasonings made using traditional methods that take from one to three years to mature.
Enjoy the unique building which is designed by Shigeru Ban, recipient of the Pritzker Prize.
The mainly wooden building makes abundant use of Japanese cedar, particularly the 100-meter-long wooden deck. Walking barefoot on the deck, you can feel the warmth and fragrance of the wood.
