William and Colleen are co-teaching this very special Reiki class on Mt. Kurama live, in person! The class will be held at a wonderful Ryokan inn at the base of Mt. Kurama.  

  • The class is five days long.

  • You will experience the spiritual energies of this sacred mountain and know in your heart why Usui Sensei was guided to this mountain to be given the gift of Reiki.

  • There will be class time on the mountain, including ignitions and Reiki practice.

  • The class will take place at a traditional Japanese Ryokan Inn at the base of Mt. Kurama.

  • Lunch is included either at the lodge or a box lunch when we are on the mountain.

  • The class will also include assistance by a Reiki Master who is fluent in Japanese and English to act as a translator to help us manage our activities.

The five class days will consist of time in the classroom and on the mountain, including one or more Ignitions on the mountain if weather and conditions permit. Please remember that when planning, Japan is 14 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. You are responsible for your lodging, and we strongly encourage you to book a hotel in northern Kyoto near the Kurama line for an easy commute to the class by train, bus, or taxi.  We suggest you use Booking.com or a similar service.

Class fee $4075.00
TThe fee is for the class fee and lunch each class day only.  You will also need to add the expenses for your hotel room and your round-trip airline ticket fee to either Tokyo Narita International Airport or Osaka Kansai International Airport and all other travel fees such as hotel, taxi, bus, and train or bus fares to Kurama. To adjust for jetlag, we suggest arriving in Japan 3-5 days early, when you can rest and also do sightseeing. You must also have a valid passport and any other required travel documents. We will supply some travel instructions, but you are responsible for making and verifying all your travel arrangements.

A World Peace Crystal Grid has been accepted by the Buddhist Monks who live on the mountain; they have placed it in a sacred part of one of their temples on the mountain! They have a kind regard toward the healing work we do. The Kuramasou lodge, where the classroom is located, is close to the train station in Kurama village, and in fact, it is right around the corner after you leave the station. A small mountain stream also runs right next to the lodge. Lunch will be served there to all students; lunch may sometimes be a box lunch to take with you on the mountain. Once in Kurama, you will not need a car or transportation as the entrance to Mt. Kurama is only a block away from the lodge, which is less than a block from the train terminal.

Reiki Requirements
To qualify to take this class, a student must have been a Reiki master for at least 6 months and be able to draw the Reiki II and master symbols from memory. Prior classes need to have been in person. However, online training for Reiki I&II and Reiki Master is acceptable for qualification as long is it is with someone who's lineage is with the ICRT. At the time of registration, you are required to send in a copy of your Reiki Master certificate. Please fax to 248-948-9534 or send as an attached file to center@reiki.org.

Physical Requirements
One requirement is that you must be in good physical condition. There is a 1200-foot elevation gain between the lodge and the top of the mountain. While an optional cable car will take you up part way, there will still be a climb of about 800 feet from the end of the cable car ride to the top of the mountain. Most of this is via stairs and there are places to stop to rest. To get to the top in a reasonable time and feel good when you get there, you need to be involved in an aerobic exercise program that includes stairs to ensure your legs are in good shape. The hike from the end of the cable car ride to the top of the mountain is similar to climbing up the stairs of an 80-story building. So that you understand, this is a very tall building. (As an example, the Empire State Building in NYC is 102 flights of stairs.) And this is done in about an hour. It would be unfortunate for you to travel all that way and then not be able to get to the mountaintop location in time to take part in the Ignitions, class time, and Reiki sharing activity, all of which are required for you to complete the class and receive a certificate.

Covid Restrictions Lifted
As of February 2024, no Covid or other travel restrictions exist to enter Japan.  However, you are responsible for remaining informed should this situation change. You are also required to read and sign a liability waiver. In Japan, COVID-19 vaccinations and masks are optional. However, many people continue to wear masks indoors and outdoors when closely associated with others.

Space is limited, so register soon to claim your place with William and Colleen for an extraordinary Reiki class experience.

This is the Reiki class of a lifetime
