Japan
beyond
the
checklist
A retreat in Japan for folks seeking depth, rest, and cultural connection. And experiences away from the crowds.
Designed for those who want to feel a place, not just visit it.
Rooted in tea, food, art, and healing waters.We bring together
Wellness practices, living culture, healing onsen waters, and belonging.A few of the
things we offer
Experience Japanese healing traditions such as acupuncture,
moxibustion, massage, and subtle energy work, rooted in
everyday life and long-standing practice, not wellness trends.
Wellness Traditions
Soak in mineral-rich hot springs in quiet towns where
onsen are part of daily life. Time to rest the body, soften
the nervous system, and settle into stillness.
Onsen Hot Springs
Visit a small tea farm and learn how tea is grown, prepared,
and shared as a living tradition. Enjoy seasonal meals that are
humble, nourishing, and beautiful, eaten slowly and locally,
with attention to place, season, and care.
Tea & Food as Culture
Travel through regions often overlooked, where life moves more slowly, hospitality runs deep, and tourism hasn’t smoothed everything into sameness.
Off-the-Beaten-Path TownsA few details
Unhurried and spacious. Days leave room to wander, and evenings invite
rest, reflection, and ease. With plenty of planned, intentional excursions.
How It Feels
Intimate by design. A close-knit group, gentle pacing, and a balance of
shared experiences and solo time allow us to move with care and flexibility.
Experiences are mindful of inclusivty and accessibility for our group.
Group Size & Structure
Thoughtfully curated experiences, small inns, seasonal meals, onsen access, cultural guidance, and pre-travel and packing support. International airfare not included.
What’s Included
Hosted by Erin Masako Wilkins, herbalist, acupuncturist, and educator
rooted in cultural memory and traditional healing, with deep respect for
Japanese culture and healing traditions.
