At Hikone Dharmakur you can enjoy a luxurious experience in a laid-back setting, with all your needs cared for.
Here, in the historic castle town of Hikone,
we invite you to cleanse your mind of distractions and your body of fatigue.
Release your inner beauty as you rejuvenate your soul.
Reset your body and mind whilst enjoying
traditional therapies in the midst of nature.
Since ancient times, the people of Hikone have healed their senses through the waters of Lake Biwa and the spiritual rhythms of the three sacred temples of the Tendai Sect that stand on east side of the lake.
The idea of appreciating the simple things in life was reflected in the Japanese tea ceremony performed by the former feudal lord of Hikone, Ii Naosuke, who was an enthusiastic and accomplished practitioner of the ancient art.
At Dharmakur, we propose a modern form of finding spiritual quietness, in a way that will provide a quiet energy to refresh one’s spirits.
