You may want to study Reiki in Japan but worry that you cannot follow a class taught in Japanese. At Shonan Natural Healing Institute, I teach Usui Reiki in Japanese, while a qualified English-speaking female Reiki Master supports the international intensive by interpreting explanations, questions and practice instructions.
You do not need to speak fluent Japanese. However, English support must be confirmed for your chosen dates before you book. This page explains what support is included, what happens before the class, and what information to send with your inquiry.
Who teaches the Reiki course?
I, Ryusei Seike, teach the lessons and give the attunements. The English-speaking Reiki Master assists with communication during the course. She interprets the questions you ask and the answers I give, and helps you understand the sequence of practical exercises.
The assistant does not replace the teacher. The teaching, attunements and assessment of practical readiness remain my responsibility.
What English support is included?
The international intensive packages include one English-speaking Reiki Master assistant, English course materials and a pre-course online orientation after payment confirmation. The purpose is to make the practical class easier to follow, not simply to translate a written manual word for word.
- Interpretation of the main explanations and practice instructions
- Support when asking questions during hands-on practice
- English course materials for the relevant levels
- An online orientation before the class
Because the teacher, assistant and venue must all be available, please do not make a non-refundable travel plan based only on an inquiry. Your dates are confirmed in writing after availability and payment have been checked.
What happens in the online orientation?
After your schedule and payment are confirmed, we arrange an online meeting with the teaching team. We review the daily timetable, meeting place, course level, previous Reiki experience and any practical questions you would like to clarify before coming to Tokyo.
The orientation is part of the confirmed international program. It is not a free trial lesson and does not confirm a reservation before payment.
Which international intensive can I choose?
The current international packages include English support, materials, the relevant attunements and the pre-course orientation.
| Program | Schedule | Total fee |
|---|---|---|
| Usui Reiki Levels 1 & 2 | 1 day | ¥100,000 |
| Usui Reiki Levels 1–3 | 2 days | ¥160,000 |
| Levels 1–3 + Master / Teacher pathway | 3 days | ¥280,000 |
Fees are per person. Master / Teacher certification is not guaranteed simply by attending for three days. Completion of our Levels 1–3 curriculum and confirmation of practical readiness are required, and additional practice may be recommended.
What if I already studied Reiki elsewhere?
International students begin with Usui Reiki Level 1 at our institute, even if they hold a certificate from another school. This gives the group a shared foundation and allows us to confirm the practical sequence used in our training. We do not offer direct entry into Level 2, Level 3 or Master / Teacher training based only on an outside certificate.
What should I include in my inquiry?
Please tell us:
- the Reiki level or program you want to study;
- your previous Reiki experience, if any;
- the dates you will be in Tokyo and two or three possible training dates;
- whether you are travelling alone or with other students;
- the language support you need.
We then check the teacher, English-speaking assistant and venue. Credit-card payment through PayPal can be arranged after the schedule is confirmed.
