What is OTERA STAY?

Harmonize your mind and change your life. A wellness stay that brings you into contact with Japanese spirituality

We offer accommodations, stays, and experiences that are part of an "inner journey" that begins in the quietness of a place steeped in history. The setting is temples and shrines that are symbols of Japanese spirituality, nature, and culture and have long been carefully preserved.

We provide people all over the world with opportunities and experiences to harmonize the mind and body, such as meditation, Zen, copying sutras, nature walks, and vegetarian cuisine.
From a casual overnight stay to a profound experience that will make you reexamine your life, we bring you the culture and stories of each region.

It's not just a place to stay,
Take time to face silence, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself.
This is the spiritual wellness that OTERA STAY aims for.
