This isn’t a performance. It’s a pause. A chance to look closely, breathe deeply, and begin to understand a way of seeing the world that values patience, subtlety, and care. What may seem small—a twist of a branch, the brush of moss—is anything but trivial. It's a form of thought made visible, a little philosophy in miniature.
Along the way, you’ll be treated to Japanese tea and dorayaki, each lovingly prepared and inspired by the pine tree—the quiet hero of bonsai culture. There’s a touch of playfulness here too: sweets shaped by nature, and flavors that surprise.
A professional photographer will also be on hand to capture your experience, offering a keepsake of quiet moments and gentle discoveries.
Embark on an experience designed not only for the senses, but also for the soul. A place where time wanders a little more slowly, and where a tree might just teach you something about yourself.
Pickup included
In a 200-year-old Japanese home tucked into the green folds of the mountains just above central Hiroshima, you're invited to slow down and slip into a gentler rhythm. Here, among ancient wooden beams and the soft hush of nature, you’ll explore the delicate art of bonsai—not simply as a craft, but as a quiet kind of conversation between you and the tree.
You can choose to be picked up from a list of locations, or alternatively, have the choice to make your own way to the meeting points
The staff will be waiting for you wearing a blue haori coat (Japanese style happi coat).
