MOKU-ISESHIMA, the only sushi auberge in Ise-Shima National Park, has released a special plan, “Recovery Stay Programme".
MOKU-ISESHIMA is located on a remote island surrounded by the beautiful nature of Ago Bay in Ise-Shima National Park.
The facility is limited to one party per day.
Right in front of the room is a calm seaside, and behind there is an evergreen forest of shiny-leaved trees.
The ever-changing scenery of the ocean and sky, the chirping of birds, and the seafood caught in the bay make for an unforgettable dining experience. The hotel offers a healing experience of surrendering to nature.
This new plan embodies MOKU-ISESHIMA's name, MOKU-SHO-ZEN, which is also the origin of the name of MOKU-ISESHIMA.
MOKU-SHO-ZEN is a Zen meditation philosophy.
MOKU-SHO-ZEN is a Zen practice that embodies the true meaning of Zen as conveyed by Zen master Dogen, "The inspiration that comes from your heart is the answer when you become detached."
This is the essence of Zen as conveyed by Dogen Zenji, who is said to have started the Zen of “vegetarian cuisine” and the Zen of “meditation".
This special plan offers an experience that purifies both body and mind during your stay at MOKU.
