Excursion Overview
Treat yourself to a bit of calm and quiet with this half day wellness retreat, on the photogenic shores of Lake Biwa. Meditate and stretch, take a deep breath of fresh air, and watch your worries simply float away.
Set off from Kyoto and enjoy a scenic journey into the Japanese countryside. From the peaceful setting of a traditional farmhouse, take part in a meditation and mindfulness class, a yoga/Pilates session, and learn to prepare a healthy, homemade lunch of authentic local ingredients. After this delightful meal, stroll back to the train station for your journey back to the busy streets of Kyoto - hopefully a little more relaxed now.

“
A highly knowledgeable and professional company that looks after you and your particular needs from beginning to end. Japan was my third trip through them and their team in the office, Fenton in particular, their local guides and their on the ground back up staff were brilliant. Faultless is the one word that springs to mind and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
