A New Path to Mindfulness through 400 Years of Tradition
At EDO KAGURA Corporation, we believe that Japan’s deepest cultural traditions hold the key to modern wellness. That is why, on September 1, 2025, we are launching our most ambitious program yet—a wellness retreat in Tokyo’s historic Kagurazaka district. This experience asks a simple but powerful question: how can the 400-year-old sound of Edo music become a path to mindfulness today?
A New Direction for Wellness Tourism in Tokyo
Wellness tourism is expanding worldwide. Discerning travelers now seek not only relaxation, but restoration and authentic connection. While Tokyo offers many modern wellness options, its rich cultural heritage has remained underutilized. Our Edo Music Wellness Retreat answers this demand by transforming traditional instruments into a restorative practice that blends art, mindfulness, and healing. It represents a unique evolution of Japan’s role in the global wellness conversation.
A Distinctive Solution for Luxury Travel and MICE
For corporate clients and event planners, finding experiences that deliver both exclusivity and cultural depth in Tokyo can be challenging. The Edo Music Wellness Retreat is designed as a seamless solution. Ideal for executive retreats, VIP incentive travel, and spousal programs, it offers a private, historic setting where participants can relax, reflect, and connect. Hosted in a traditional ryotei, it provides an unforgettable highlight that strengthens any itinerary.
Inside the Experience
This retreat unfolds as a curated ritual, led by world-class musicians including artists featured in the Emmy-winning drama SHOGUN. The program consists of two parts: first, a meditative immersion in the live sounds of shamisen, koto, and kokyū; second, a guided hands-on opportunity to touch and play these instruments yourself. This dual approach creates both serenity and participation—turning music into a personal, unforgettable memory that balances mind and body.
Shaping the Future of Japan’s Luxury Inbound Tourism
EDO KAGURA believes this program marks a new chapter in Japan’s luxury inbound tourism market. By uniting culture, wellness, and exclusivity, it speaks directly to the needs of today’s sophisticated global travelers. For our partners in travel and hospitality, it opens opportunities to co-create premium experiences that cannot be found elsewhere.
We invite you to join us in pioneering this evolution of wellness tourism, where Edo traditions meet contemporary needs for healing and connection.
