Wellness retreats in Japan

Past events




Yoga & hiking retreat at Mt. Mitake
March 2024
After three immersive days in the mountains surrounded by Japanese tradition and nourished with wholesome Japanese mountain food, we left feeling grounded, recharged, and open to new growth.
Yoga & cooking retreat in Shizuoka
June 2022
With the ocean behide us, we moved and breathed together in this three-day retreat, enriched by vegan meals and deeper learning around mindful, plant-based living. Even a simple vegan burger can be super delicious! 😋








Summer retreat Karuizawa
August 2020
A collaboration with SEIBU and Prince Hotel, our three-day retreat was filled with yoga, pilates, movement, meditation, and a sense of community immersed in nature. Climbing to the mountaintop, we found space to pause and sit together in quiet meditation.
Our first mountain retreat
November 2019
In 2019, four like-minded individuals came together to found Modern Escape Japan (MEJ), one of the first international retreat brands in Japan. Although MEJ has moved onto a new chapter, we truly treasure the moments we shared with everyone who joined us on this journey. Our very first retreat in Shomaru, Saitama, was filled with the healing power of shared activity, fresh food, and nature.
