The most important tea master in Japanese history, Sen no Rikyū who lived and died at Daitokuji, shaped the Japanese tea ceremony into what it is today. Before Rikyū, tea gatherings were fancy, where people showed wealth and power. Rikyū taught that tea should be: simple, quiet, humble and deeply human.

About 8 small courses make up this culinary journey of the 5 senses.

Here the sacred presence is not a building but Mount Miwa itself, making it a rare place for deep ancestral, karmic, and earth-based spiritual work. Because the mountain is treated as a living deity, the energy feels raw, ancient, and uncompromising.

The long path through the woods naturally slows the body and mind, helping people feel held, grounded, and gently guided.
