My Reiki Tour
A journey through experience in Japan
Based in Kyoto, in a small group, combining Reiki practice, walking, and a deep connection with place
The Reiki Tour in Japan
An experience in Japan through practice, body, and landscape
My Reiki Tour is a journey in Japan designed for those who wish to experience Reiki through their relationship with places, walking, and the shared dimension of the group.
The journey unfolds in Kyoto and its surroundings, alternating moments of practice, travel by public transport, visits, and shared time. The pace is shaped to allow a genuine presence in each place, without reducing them to stops to be passed through quickly.
The journey does not follow the model of a packaged holiday, nor that of a retreat separated from its context. It takes shape instead as a guided experience, in which Reiki intertwines with the landscape, the body, and being present within the group.
Elements of the journey
Walking through places
The relationship with the landscape is shaped through walking, which becomes an integral part of the experience.
Shared Reiki practice
Guided practice moments are woven into the rhythm of the journey, without being separated from their context.
Kyoto as a lived context
The city is not a backdrop, but a space that is moved through and inhabited during the journey.
Mount Kurama
A central place in the journey, crossed on foot and connected to the originating experience of Reiki.
Between shared moments and personal space
The journey alternates between shared moments and personal space, maintaining a continuity of experience.
How the experience is structured
Four dimensions of the Reiki Tour
Small group
The limited number of participants allows for a strong relational quality and a continuity of experience throughout the entire journey.
Kyoto as a base
Staying in Kyoto provides a stable point of reference, allowing the places to be experienced with continuity and without fragmentation.
Places of practice
The journey unfolds in contexts connected to the history of Reiki, including Mount Kurama and Okunoin, where the practice takes on a particular intensity.
A guided experience in practice
The tour is guided by those who have practiced and taught Reiki for years, integrating direct experience with a reflection on the relationship between body, attention, and context.
A place that is moved through, not simply visited
Mount Kurama and Reiki practice in Japan
Mount Kurama is not a stop along the journey, but a place that shapes the entire experience.
The ascent moves through the forest, following a rhythm that takes shape step by step, gradually opening into a different quality of attention.
It is within this context that Reiki practice takes place, not as an isolated technique, but as a way of relating to the body, to others, and to the landscape.
Okunoin, connected to Usui’s experience, represents one of the central moments of the journey.
A practice understood within its historical and cultural environment
Reiki and the Japanese context
Reiki emerged in Japan in the early twentieth century, within a complex cultural and religious context where healing practices, body disciplines, and spiritual paths are interwoven.
The journey does not propose an abstract reconstruction of these origins, but moves through places and situations where this context can be perceived directly.
In this sense, the practice is not separated from the landscape, history, and cultural forms that have made it possible.

A practice that takes shape within its context
Reiki practice
The practice unfolds in dedicated moments, but also within walking and shared time. It is not separate from the experience, but follows its rhythm.
The body as a point of access to experience
Body and perception
Attention gradually shifts toward the body, reshaping the way the context and relationships are perceived. The experience takes shape from this point.
The group as an active part of the experience
The group
The group is not just a presence, but an active part of the experience. Relationships contribute to shaping how what unfolds is lived and interpreted.
An experience to be inhabited
WHO IT’S FOR
The Reiki Tour is intended for those who feel the need to engage with the practice in a situated way, dedicating time and attention to the experience.
It is suitable for Reiki practitioners who wish to deepen their path, but also for those without prior experience who are willing to engage openly and with depth.
It requires a willingness to slow down, to remain within the process, and to let meaning emerge from the experience.
It is not an experience to be consumed
WHO IT’S NOT FOR
It is not a tour in the conventional tourist sense, nor a path oriented toward immediate results or extraordinary effects.
It is not intended for those seeking a passively guided experience, or for those expecting predefined answers.
The tour calls for active participation and a willingness to question one’s own expectations.
Stories from the Reiki Tour
Fragments of lived experience
Time seems to pause when you set foot in Kyoto: the air feels lighter, and there is a sense of peace and harmony. Ancient roots break through the ground, moments of meditation and shared practice unfold… the vibrations rise and the energy becomes tangible… silence is the most beautiful sound ♥️

For me, the journey to Japan was a discovery, a step along a path I have been walking for some years, also through encountering the practice of Reiki, as Federico and Daniela know how to hold and welcome you.
You discover it in the silence, in small and attentive gestures, in people’s kindness and respect, in hidden streets and in nature, where everything seems to speak in a soft voice. And yet Japan is also much more: high technology, crowds, traffic, and noise—yet always (as I experienced it, as a “captivated” traveler) with a deep sense of order. 🙂

Beginning to encounter traditional Reiki through its places, culture, and traditions was both a surprise and a deeply moving experience, one that encouraged me to take the path of learning it. I was able to see and experience firsthand what traditional Reiki means in contrast to Western Reiki. Being on Mount Kurama, taking part in the circle of light, and feeling surrounded by Reiki energy was an intense emotion that moved me deeply—and still moves me every time I think back on it.
