Intensive Reiki Course for International Visitors
Our intensive program is designed for people visiting Japan and for students travelling to Tokyo from distant regions. It allows you to study Reiki directly with a Japanese teacher while making practical use of your limited time in Japan.
We traditionally recommend a period of personal practice between Usui Reiki Levels 1–2 and Level 3. However, international visitors may not be able to return to Japan one month later. For this reason, we offer a carefully structured two-day Usui Reiki Levels 1–3 course and explain how to continue practising after you return home.
Standard Two-Day Schedule
| Day | Training | Main Topics |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 — Morning | Usui Reiki Level 1 | Reiki foundations, self-treatment, hand positions and attunement |
| Day 1 — Afternoon | Usui Reiki Level 2 | Symbols, distance Reiki, emotional healing, practice and attunement |
| Day 2 | Usui Reiki Level 3 | Advanced Reiki practice, personal development, practical work and attunement |
The exact starting and finishing times are arranged according to the selected courses, interpreter availability and your travel schedule.

Go Beyond Usui Reiki During Your Stay
One feature that distinguishes our school from many Reiki courses in Japan is the opportunity to study Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki and Imara Reiki during one visit.
Kundalini Reiki
Kundalini Reiki is offered as an optional advanced course for students who would like to expand their energy practice. The course fee is ¥50,000.
Imara Reiki
Imara Reiki is another optional advanced energy-healing system available during an extended stay. The course fee is ¥30,000.
Reiki Master Training in Japan
Students who complete the required training and wish to learn how to pass attunements and teach Reiki may request Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki and Imara Reiki Master Training. The Master Training fee is ¥120,000.
If you can stay for a third day, we can discuss adding Master Training to your individual schedule. Admission to Master Training is confirmed after discussing your experience, goals and readiness.
What Is Included?
- Direct teaching by Japanese Reiki Master Ryusei Seike
- All required Reiki attunements for the selected course
- English-language course materials
- Hands-on and practical exercises
- Certificate for each completed course
- Guidance for continuing your Reiki practice after returning home
- Private or small-group learning environment
Course materials are sent by email after payment has been confirmed, allowing you to prepare before arriving in Japan.
English Support and Female Reiki Master Assistant
Ryusei Seike personally conducts every course and attunement. Because detailed spiritual and energy-related explanations can be difficult to communicate fully in a second language, an English-speaking female Reiki Master can attend as an assistant and interpreter.
The assistant helps communicate detailed explanations and subtle nuances clearly. This service can also provide additional reassurance to women travelling and studying alone. The assistant fee is quoted separately according to the course schedule.
Meet Your Japanese Reiki Teacher
Ryusei Seike — Founder and Reiki Master
Ryusei Seike founded Shonan Natural Healing Institute in 2004 and has more than 20 years of experience practising and teaching Reiki and Japanese healing methods.
He is an Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki and Imara Reiki Master and has taught both Japanese students and international visitors. All classes and attunements described on this page are conducted directly by Ryusei Seike, with an assistant Reiki Master present when arranged.
His work is also informed by long-term study and experience of the Kojiki, Shinto shrines, Zen meditation and Japanese spiritual culture. Students can therefore encounter Reiki not only as a healing technique, but also within the broader spiritual and cultural context of Japan.

Reiki Lineage and Teaching Approach
Our principal training is based on Usui Reiki, the system that originated in Japan through Mikao Usui. The history of Reiki, the teacher’s training and the Reiki lineage are explained in detail during the course.
We place importance on direct experience as well as theory. Students learn through attunements, self-treatment, hands-on exercises and repeated practice. The aim is not simply to receive a certificate in a short period, but to leave Japan with a clear foundation for continuing Reiki responsibly.
Tokyo Reiki Training Location
Meguro, Tokyo
The intensive course is held in Meguro, with convenient access from central Tokyo. It is suitable for international visitors staying in Tokyo and looking for an in-person Reiki course taught by a Japanese Reiki Master.
The exact address, access instructions and meeting details are sent after the schedule and payment have been confirmed.
Shonan, Chigasaki
Reiki sessions and selected training may also be arranged in Chigasaki, Shonan, a peaceful coastal area of Kanagawa Prefecture. Please ask about availability when contacting us.
Reiki Training or Reiki Retreat in Japan?
This is primarily a structured Reiki training course rather than a sightseeing retreat. International students who would like a deeper experience of Japanese spirituality may also ask about shrine visits, meditation and related cultural experiences, subject to schedule and availability.
These optional experiences are arranged separately and are not automatically included in the Reiki course fee.
