Who We Are
Your Guides to Inner Stillness
Hello, I’m Tomomi.
Founder & Lead Guide
I believe that modern travel has become too fast. We rush from one famous landmark to another to take a photo, but we rarely give ourselves the time to truly feel the place we are in.
I founded Omairi Retreat after my own experiences of needing space to slow down. In the quiet sanctuary of a local shrine, the simple act of washing my hands, bowing, and listening to the wind in the trees helped me reconnect with myself.
My Approach as a Guide
My goal is not to be a walking encyclopedia of Japanese history. My role is to be a bridge. I help you navigate the cultural and linguistic barriers so that you can interact with Japan’s sacred spaces confidently and respectfully.
In my tours, silence is just as important as speaking. I will explain the meaning behind the rituals, but I will also give you space to close your eyes, breathe, and experience the stillness for yourself.
