A Sacred Mountain Steeped in Spiritual Power
Mount Kurama, located in the forested mountains just north of Kyoto, Japan, is the legendary site where Mikao Usui Sensei, the founder of Reiki, underwent a 21-day spiritual retreat in 1922. It was during this time of fasting and meditation on Kurama’s summit that he received the sacred energy and insights that would become the Reiki healing system.
This mountain has long been revered as a place of power. Ancient folklore speaks of Tengu (mountain spirits) and Mao-son, a celestial being said to protect the mountain and guide spiritual seekers. Kurama is more than a physical destination — it is an energetic gateway to healing and awakening.

Where Energy Meets Origin
Mount Kurama is not just the birthplace of Reiki—it is the living embodiment of its essence. The mountain’s natural energy fields, ancient cedar forests, and sacred shrines vibrate with the same universal life force that Reiki channels. Every step taken here mirrors the inner journey of healing and awakening.
Usui Sensei’s Spiritual Awakening
It was on Kurama’s summit that Mikao Usui Sensei experienced a profound state of enlightenment after 21 days of fasting and meditation. This awakening gave birth to the system of Reiki healing, bridging the wisdom of nature, spirit, and human consciousness.
A Path of Reconnection
Even today, Reiki practitioners visit Mount Kurama to recharge, meditate, and reconnect with the source of Reiki energy. The mountain continues to serve as a powerful reminder that healing is not taught—it is remembered, through harmony with nature and spirit.
