Heavenly

Doris_L, Jan 2026

It was a beautiful experience. Our guide met us at the local family mart so we wouldn’t get lost. You lay on a heated mat, with an eye mask and blanket. He starts by playing next to you. Then he places the bowl on you so you feel the vibrations! You might just fall asleep. He will take a couple pictures and send them to you as a souvenir. It was a truly one of a kind experience! Definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the detailed review! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the session. To my surprise, a sister of yours came to my session today as well! I was so honored to meet you all. Please come visit again whenever you are back in Japan!

So relaxing!

Simple yet very relaxing experience. The copper bowls gave off wonderful vibrations. They were especially calming when placed on our bodies.

Relax, unwind, release toxins. You will LOVE this experience!

Michelle_S, Aug 2025

What an amazing way to relax and unwind. Our guide was kind, proud of his craft, eager to share and for us to learn. I did this with my 16 y.o. son who was reluctant about trying something new but he also really enjoyed it!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for coming with your son! It would be my honor if this became a wonderful memory of your trip to Japan.

Incredible sound bath experience

Louise_W, May 2025

Junichiro provides an amazing sound bath experience! He’s very talented and professional. He was very good at keeping me up to date about our upcoming session and had booked a lovely traditional Japanese room for us overlooking a botanical garden. The location really added to the experience. The sound bath was the best one I’ve ever experienced before. It was very relaxing. After the sound bath junichiro showed me how the bowls work which was very interesting and fun. As a solo female traveller I am always vary about my safety when booking private activities such as this, but junichiro made me feel completely at ease and safe during our session. I highly recommend booking a session with him if you’re in Kyoto!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for choosing my session from so many activities available. I'm truly happy that you experienced it. I hope it becomes a wonderful memory of your trip to Japan!

Take the time for this experience

Karyne_B, Apr 2025

First and foremost junchiro put us at ease immediately as we weren’t sure what to expect. Clearly he is passionate and knowledgeable about his art and eager to share it. Relaxing, spiritual, healing, the beautiful sounds he creates are magical. It was a great way to start our day and the feeling and memory continues for more than that piece of time in the studio. Thank you Junchiro, you have a real gift and have shared a real gift!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for coming to my session the other day. It was a great pleasure meeting you both. I also truly appreciate your excellent feedback. It would be our greatest joy if our session becomes a memorable part of your trip to Japan!

Amazing experience!

Alison_G, Apr 2025

This was amazing. I'd never done a sound bath before and didn't know what to expect. All I knew was it was supposed to be calming. However, when it was over, not only was I calm, but I was clear-headed and alert, too! Junchiro was so nice and explained everything so well.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your rating! I hope it was a good experience for you. Please come to Japan again to enjoy the autumn leaves.

Incredible, one-of-a-kind experience!

Kelly_D, Mar 2025

Junichiro is so talented! Had an amazing sound bath with instruments only found in Japan. I have done a few sound baths in the US, but none like this. He actually placed the bowls on my body for parts of the sound bath so I could feel the vibration & energy flowing. Afterwards, we drank tea and he taught me to play the instruments. Such an incredible, one-of-a-kind experience that I hope others will choose to enjoy! Oh and Junichiro just started learning English a year and a half ago, but his English is incredible! 10 out of 10 recommend. Wish I could go again before I leave Japan!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you very much for your kind review! I'm truly delighted to hear that the session created a positive memory for you. I would love to welcome you back to Japan again.

Kyoto Sound Bowl

Agnes_W, Feb 2025

This was my first time ever doing a sound bowl session, I’ve only heard about this. So, I was curious how it can help me with stress and anxiety - I must say it made me feel grounded and have peace of mind. Junichiro was super friendly and explained the process and how it works. His bowls/instruments were so so intricate and seeing how it works at the end of our session, and being able to play myself, was super cool! If you have some time and want to relax on your Kyoto trip, I highly recommend trying a session!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave me a review. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your session. Please don't hesitate to visit me again whenever you feel the need for a sound bath.
