7-Day Water Fast & Detox Wellness Retreat in the Japanese Mountains

The retreat takes place at Tokai Oasis, a peaceful property surrounded by cedar forest in the mountains of Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The setting is deliberately devoid of distractions—clean air, total quiet, and nothing to do but focus on your well-being. Days start with the sound of birds, and the rhythm of life slows to match nature's pace.

A typical day includes a gentle morning walk through the woods, followed by hours of unstructured time for rest, reflection, or exploration. You might take a book to the terrace, journal by the garden, or simply lie in the sun. In the afternoons, there are optional seasonal farm activities—helping with the vegetable garden or foraging in the surrounding countryside—if you feel up to it. But there's no pressure to do anything at all.

What sets this retreat apart is its focus on personalized, low-pressure support. Mr. Onaru, the founder and lead facilitator, has spent years guiding therapeutic fasts and brings a calm, patient presence to the program. He's available throughout the day for questions and guidance, ensuring you feel safe and informed at every stage. Renee, the English-speaking coordinator, handles all communication and logistics, so international guests can relax without language barriers.

The fasting is complemented by a careful refeeding process. After the fast, guests are reintroduced to food with gentle, gut-friendly meals like sekihan (red bean rice), homemade miso soup, and seasonal pickles from the retreat's own garden. These simple dishes are easy to digest and help your body transition smoothly back to solid food.
