Immerse Yourself in Nature at the BEB5 Karuizawa Wellness Retreat

The lush landscapes of Karuizawa provide the perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating two-day wellness retreat, organized by Suwaru and BEB5 Karuizawa by Hoshino Resorts. This retreat allows participants to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with their inner selves. Scheduled for May 10-11, 2026, this retreat is designed specifically for women, with an exclusive capacity for only 22 participants.

A Unique Wellness Experience

The wellness program is based on the timeless principles of Vedic philosophy, revitalized through the Nirmal Method®. This approach incorporates a diverse range of activities, including yoga, meditation, forest bathing, and even flying squirrel watching. The program aims to engage all five senses, allowing attendees to deeply engage with the surrounding nature.

Special Mentor:
The inaugural retreat will feature special guest Maryjun Takahashi, a prominent actress, model, and certified yoga instructor with the Japan Meditation Association. Her philosophy encourages participants to embrace their authentic selves at their own pace, making her an ideal guide for this immersive experience.
