Yūgen

is an important concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics, often associated with the profound, mysterious, and subtle beauty of the universe. It embodies an appreciation for the depth and mystery that lies beneath the surface of things.

In this journey, yūgen can be practiced in moments of quiet reflection, in the mysterious beauty of nature, in the fleeting, ineffable encounters with people that touch our hearts deeply.

This 7-Day Contemplative Journey through Japan is ultimately a journey to the deepest parts of ourselves. We will breathe in mystery and awaken our sense of wonder and awe.

Yūgen represents the unknown, untold and hidden.
Mystery is the defining feature, and that which beckons travellers to explore further.
