VEDA NO MORI (forest of Veda) is the national headquarters of the Transcendental Meditation organization in Japan, which is called the Maharishi Institute of Total Education. It is located in Nasu, approximately one and a half hours north of Tokyo. It is not only an organizational headquarters but offers many residential courses to those already practicing the Transcendental Meditation^® technique, as well as the opportunity to learn TM in this serene setting. The national facility is the third structure featured in a recent newsletter highlighting Maharishi Vastu* architecture and design in Japan.

These courses go deeply into the various aspects of the Vedic knowledge as revived and restored by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi over a 50-year period. Courses cover topics ranging from deepening of meditation experience to Maharishi Ayurveda health care and Maharishi Vedic Astrology. It also serves as a clinic for Maharishi Ayurveda treatments and consultations.

All this and so much more are offered in this magnificent timber frame building of 56 guest rooms and eight conference/classrooms.


It is the largest wood structure in all of Japan, 4,800 sm (51,500 sf), and has a striking copper roof. It is a wonderful example of the use of natural materials which is a key element in Maharishi Vastu construction.

More photos of this and other Maharishi Vastu buildings in Japan are featured in a photo album on Facebook^®.
