Details of this retreat

Imagine waking up to the sounds of birds, mountain air, and the gentle atmosphere of Beppu, one of Japan’s most celebrated hot spring destinations.

This 2-Day Beppu Onsen Sound Healing & Wellness Retreat is designed for travelers seeking more than sightseeing. It is an opportunity to slow down, disconnect from daily stress, and reconnect with yourself through nature, movement, sound, and authentic Japanese culture.

Throughout the retreat, you will experience a carefully curated blend of sound healing, meditation, yoga, hot spring wellness, and local cultural experiences. Days are spent exploring the healing energy of Beppu’s mountains, forests, and ocean views, while evenings invite deep relaxation through sound baths, mindful reflection, and restorative onsen experiences.

Your journey may include gentle Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, guided meditation, live handpan music, sound healing sessions, nature walks, Japanese tea experiences, healthy local cuisine, and time to simply rest and be present. Every activity is designed to support physical relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

Beppu has been welcoming people seeking healing and restoration for centuries. With its natural hot springs, volcanic landscape, and slower pace of life, it offers the perfect setting for a wellness retreat rooted in both Japanese tradition and modern mindfulness practices.

Led in English by local wellness facilitator and Sound wellness Shin Sugawara, this retreat remains intentionally small and personal. Rather than a large commercial program, guests are welcomed into an intimate experience that encourages meaningful connection, flexibility, and genuine cultural exchange.

Whether you are feeling burned out, navigating a life transition, seeking inspiration, or simply wanting to experience a deeper side of Japan, this retreat offers space to pause, breathe, and return home feeling refreshed, grounded, and renewed.
