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.
