Busho: A Private Journey Into the Soul of the Samurai
Step beyond the reach of modern life and into the spirit of Japan’s warrior past. Busho is a deeply immersive, invitation-only experience set in undisclosed locations.
Journey Overview
Day 1: Into the World of the Warrior
Begin your journey at a historic temple once used by samurai to train body and mind. In this sacred setting, you’ll experience quiet zazen meditation followed by a rare swordsmanship session with a master instructor. As night falls, retire to a private cultural heritage retreat — not open to the public — where quiet gardens and warm hospitality offer a soft landing.
Day 2: Spirit & Ceremony
Awaken to the sounds of nature and begin the day with slow movement and reflection. Then, enter an authentic teahouse hidden deep within a historic district, where you’ll take part in a private tea ceremony guided by a skilled host. The atmosphere — still, silent, and refined — invites a return to the principles of Bushido: harmony, discipline, and presence.
Day 3: A Time Outside Time
Spend your final day in untouched natural surroundings, where you’ll engage in a guided forest meditation. With no other guests, no agenda, and no interference from the modern world, this is a rare chance to fully reset. Depart grounded, clear, and connected to something far deeper than sightseeing — a personal link to Japan’s living past.
