A Transformative Journey Awaits: Wellness Trip in Hakone

Starting from March 14, 2026, Wellness Trip, in partnership with Odakyu Electric Railway, will introduce an innovative travel event titled 'Wellness Trip in Hakone'. This event emphasizes the theme of moving from mere sightseeing to enhancing health through reconnecting with nature. For a span of two weeks, participants will experience specialized yoga retreats and nature sports in the breathtaking environment of Hakone, led by prominent instructors from the wellness community.

Retreat Details

This retreat focuses on providing an immersive experience where guests can achieve mental and physical rejuvenation. Instructors such as Matsumoto Rio and other acclaimed professionals will guide participants through carefully curated yoga sessions under clear blue skies and surrounded by the splendid mountain vistas of Hakone. The event runs until March 29, 2026.

The program will take place at stunning locations including Yama no Hotel, Kowakien Yusenkan, and HAKONATURE BASE, which are carefully chosen to enhance the wellness experience.

Connection with Nature and Local Culture

In alignment with the broader initiative called 'HOME FOREST', running from March 1 to May 10, 2026, which promotes an appreciation of the rich natural surroundings, the Wellness Trip will allow participants to explore not just physical wellness, but also cultural enrichment through interactions with local artisans and chefs. Through this unique blend, travelers will upgrade their entire journey into an experience that enhances health and wellbeing.

Culinary Experience

The culinary aspect of the trip features 'Saien', a local eatery known for its organic breakfast, which will be specially offered to participants. Attendees will also experience 'Souun Tofu', a signature dish derived from a traditional recipe shared by the head monk of Souun Temple. This immersive dining experience ties together the culinary arts with the spiritual essence of the region.

Cultural Engagement

Participants will also engage with local culture through interactive workshops. At Gora's 'Chishi', an engaging tea workshop will be held, allowing guests to refine their senses and embrace the tranquility that Hakone offers. This workshop serves as a reflective pause in the daily hustle and bustle, integrating moments of serenity into one’s life amidst nature.

Wellness and Relaxation

Situated in Miyanoshita, the NARAYA CAFE will introduce guests to the soothing traditions of Hakone's hot springs. Here, guests can enjoy foot baths and sauna experiences, redefining what wellness means in a modern context while honoring the historical cultural practices of the area. This unique offering ensures that after engaging in yoga, guests can gently unwind in a healing environment.
