4-Day Zen & Martial Arts Wellness Retreat in Matsushima, Japan

Each morning begins with zazen meditation guided by a head priest inside historic temples, including the National Treasure Zuigan-ji. Afternoons are unhurried: strolls through dry-landscape gardens, a serene cruise across Matsushima Bay, fresh-caught sushi in Shiogama, and quiet moments over matcha. On the final day, Zen meets movement through Aiki Jujutsu, a traditional Japanese martial art that emphasizes harmony and breath over force. This is a small-group, private retreat limited to your party, with every detail handpicked and fully guided.
