FAQs

In the heart of Kamakura, surrounded by gardens and whispering bamboo, The Sanctuary Japan offers an individually tailored treatment experience for VIP clientele seeking exceptional privacy and care. They offer a culturally immersive healing experience, grounded in mindfulness, simplicity, and seasonal living to support burnout, anxiety, chronic stress, grief, and life transitions. Their holistic program blends evidence-based therapy with the healing wisdom of Japanese tradition, guiding clients back to balance in body, mind, and spirit.

Engage in a Culturally Immersive Program

Each program is designed around five interconnected dimensions of wellbeing: mental, physical, spiritual, creative, and nutrition. These dimensions ensure that every part is supported, from clarity of mind to vitality of body, from spiritual presence to creative flow, all sustained by mindful nourishment. Working 1-to-1 with exceptional therapists and practitioners, the client is guided through a personalised blend of evidence-based therapies and Japanese traditions to restore balance and renewal. Some of the experiences include:

  • Meditation
  • Energy-balancing bodywork
  • Martial arts
  • Bathing rituals
  • Sensory walking
  • Calligraphy
  • Tea ceremonies

These traditions do not replace evidence-based therapies; they complement them, weaving Japanese wisdom into the rhythm of the daily retreat.

Live in Indulgent Japanese Comfort

Each client’s private residence is self-contained, with an open-air design filled with soft light and fresh air. It features traditional Japanese Tatami floors and shoji screens, Hinoki wood accents and natural textures, as well as large windows with garden views. The residence also provides an immersive wellness space with a Cypress Bath, a Japanese Hearth Sauna, and a Meditation Tea House. The house is also located a stone’s throw from forest trails and ancient temples.

Guarantee Privacy & Peace of Mind
Guarantee Privacy & Peace of Mind
The Sanctuary prides itself on remaining completely confidential. Clients never meet each other, and all employees and contractors are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Unless the client has arranged for a family member or significant other to accompany them, the residence remains entirely their own. Clientele can request additional security measures as required.
Journey into Mindfulness
Journey into Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the unifying thread that weaves through therapy, movement, cultural experiences, meals, and rest. This practice of present moment awareness, self-connection, and intentional living supports nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and deeper healing, bringing clarity, calm, and meaning to every part of the journey.
Dine in Rhythm with the Seasons
Dine in Rhythm with the Seasons
At The Sanctuary Japan, a highlight of each day is enjoying nourishing, delicious, chef-prepared meals crafted from locally sourced produce. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of shun (旬)—the moment an ingredient is at its peak—meals are designed not only for nutrition but for deep seasonal alignment. Each dish invites presence, simplicity, and quiet satisfaction.
Deepen Presence through Creative Arts
Deepen Presence through Creative Arts
At The Sanctuary Japan, clients explore creative offerings as both immersive cultural experiences and personal reflections. Practices may include shodō (calligraphy), ensō or sumi-e painting, ikebana (flower arranging), and origami, as well as ceramics, textiles, and traditional music such as koto or shakuhachi. These arts are not simply hobbies but mindful practices.
