Beppu Onsen Sound Healing & Cultural Retreat

eppu Onsen Sound Healing & Wellness Retreat is a unique retreat experience that blends Japanese culture, hot spring wellness, music, meditation, yoga, and nature in one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns.

Located in Beppu, Oita — a place known for its healing hot springs, ocean views, mountains, and peaceful atmosphere — this retreat offers guests a chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience authentic Japanese wellness culture.

This retreat combines sound healing sessions, meditation, Hatha & Ashtanga yoga practices, live handpan and healing music performances, nature walks, onsen experiences, and local cultural activities. Guests can also enjoy Japanese tea ceremonies, healthy local meals, and mindful time surrounded by nature and traditional Japanese scenery.

The retreat is guided by Shin Sugawara, a musician, wellness facilitator, and retreat creator who has traveled to more than 35 countries and spent over 8 years abroad exploring music, meditation, yoga, and community-based wellness cultures in places such as India, Bali, and Thailand.

Unlike large commercial retreats, this experience focuses on small groups, authentic human connection, and a relaxed atmosphere where guests can experience both inner healing and the beauty of Japan.

Whether you are looking for rest, inspiration, cultural immersion, mindfulness, or simply time away from busy modern life, this retreat is designed to help you reconnect with yourself through sound, nature, movement, and meaningful experiences in Beppu.
