WHAT GROUNDS US

Rooted Here.
Open to You.

Yamabushi training has been practised on these mountains for over 1,400 years. We didn't invent it. We were invited into it.

Here is who stands behind what we offer, and why it matters.

YAMABUSHI MASTERS

We work with, and have learned from the longest traditions of Yamabushi masters in Japan. Our signature training includes training under Master Hoshino. Master Hoshino’s philosophy of life inspires all our trainings, and he only works with us.

We also work alongside 17th-generation Master Hayasaka and other senior Dewa Sanzan yamabushi.

INTERNATIONAL YAMABUSHI

Yamabushi Masters have trained on these mountains as Yamabushi. They are not mere interpreters. They are bilingual practitioners who know what it takes, what it means, and can bring the teachings of the mountains to you in your own language.
