The Beauty Retreat

July 6th - 9th, 2026

Arima Onsen, Hyogo

Together, we will bathe in golden waters, sleep deeply in spacious villas, practice beauty meditations in ancient temples, feast on fresh, local skin healing foods, learn beauty and skincare rituals and perhaps the greatest privilege of all — experience a live private performance by the masters of beauty, the elusive Geisha san. A very rare experience, even for people born and raised in Japan.

A Solstice Japanese Dream

June 18th - 23rd, 2026

Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto

In a secluded forest along a mountain stream exists a hidden sanctuary in the form of a traditional japanese inn - it’s an image straight out of a dream. Early Summer in Kurokawa onsen is a special and potent time. it is season of celebration, abundance and creativity. The fertility of the natural world pours in through every window, covering the outdoor onsen baths in a gently waving ceiling of bright green leaves.
