Retreats at Wakaranai Lodge

Each retreat is an invitation to step out of routine and spend real time together, living, eating, moving, and being in one place for a while.

These are small, intentional gatherings in Tomamu, Hokkaido, shaped by the season, the place, and the people who come.

Retreats at Wakaranai

During summer, Wakaranai Lodge hosts a small number of carefully held retreats.

These are not high-volume programs or back-to-back events. We keep the calendar light, allowing each retreat to unfold at its own pace and with its own character.

Retreats at Wakaranai are built around living together, rather than following rigid schedules or performance-driven programming.

Our Approach

Across all retreats, the emphasis is on:

• connection without performance
• creativity without pressure
• reflection without agenda

There is structure, but it remains flexible.

There is guidance, but nothing is imposed.

Each retreat follows the rhythm of the season and the energy of the group.

Upcoming Retreats, Summer 2026

Each summer retreat at Wakaranai has its own focus and tone, while sharing the same underlying values: presence, care, and shared time.

Details for each retreat can be found on their individual pages below.

As Wakaranai continues to grow, future summers may include additional retreats or seasonal gatherings, always shaped by the place and the people who come.
