Luxury Accommodation

During your stay with us you will be housed in your own luxurious private residence.

At The Sanctuary Japan, your residence connects you to the rich cultural history of Japan, and the tranquil beauty of the natural surrounds. Our aim is to create an exceptional environment in which you will feel right at home as you experience the exquisite art of Japanese living.

In the heart of Kamakura, nestled among gardens and whispering bamboo, your residence is more than just a place to stay – it is a sanctuary of stillness and quiet renewal. Let your surroundings become part of your healing.

Your 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 to soak in the scent and warmth of hinoki, a Japanese Hearth Sauna, inspired by irori traditions and a Meditation Tea House – a silent space for presence. The house is also located a stone’s throw from forest trails and ancient temples.

Private & Discreet

Unless you have arranged for a family member or significant other to accompany you in your program, your residence will be entirely your own (with only the company of your personal support staff present).

All of our accommodation is exceptionally private and discreet. All of our employees and contractors are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

We have treated nobility, politicians, CEOs and celebrities from around the world, and we pride ourselves in our promise to remain completely discreet and confidential.

Prominent or high profile clientele can also request additional security measures as required.

A Haven of Stillness
Journal by the window
Rest with the sounds of the garden
Let silence become part of your rhythm
Let the space hold you — stillness isn’t always something you create — it’s often something you enter.
