It\u2019s a unique place, not just because it offers a spot for patrons to meditate or zone out for a while, but because they do so while lying down in <strong>coffins<\/strong> (<em>kanoke<\/em> in Japanese).<\/p>\n<p>As shown in the photo above, Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in has an array of Japanese-style coffins, and the staff invites guests to \u201cgaze at life through being conscious of death\u201d through their 30-minute coffin sessions. However, if the idea of lying in a box ordinarily meant for the dead is a little too morbid for you, Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in is <strong>now offering the opportunity to lie down in <em>cute<\/em> coffins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-726941\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/cm-2.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These cute caskets are the creations of <strong>Tokyograve<\/strong>, a coffin maker proving that, yes, Japanese designers <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2026\/02\/17\/poop-is-in-full-bloom-at-the-unko-museums-for-cherry-blossom-season\/\">really can make anything cute<\/a>. With their festive colors and accouterments, Tokyograve hopes to make the concept of inevitable death less grim and unsettling, and since that goal aligns very neatly with Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in\u2019s, the two have decided to team up. <strong>Once a month, five Tokyograve coffins will be available for use for Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in sessions, either for use by solo customers or for groups of friends who want to occupy up to all five simultaneously<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-726942\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/cm-3.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Satisfied customers of such \u201ccoffin experience\u201d events say they have come out of their sessions feeling unexpectedly positive and energetic<\/strong>, as ruminating on their eventual demise prompts big-picture realizations about the importance of treating others with kindness and being more cognizant of the positive aspects of their lives and capabilities. Note, however, that Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in still cautions that participants should be in good physical and mental health, however, and those suffering from depression or claustrophobia are recommended to abstain from coffin meditation sessions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-726943\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/cm-4.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tokyograve coffins will be available at Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in on the first Saturday of every month, with sessions starting at 11 a.m. and 2 and 5 p.m. Reservations can be made online <a href=\"https:\/\/peatix.com\/event\/4813555\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location information<\/strong><br \/>\nMeiso Kukan Kanoke-in \/ \u7791\u60f3\u7a7a\u9593 \u304b\u3093\u304a\u3051in<br \/>\nAddress: Tokyo-to, Shinjuku-ku, Takadanobaba 1-29-7.
