Our read

The water is the reason to come, and the altitude changes your pace within a day.

Come here for

  • Being told what happens next, instead of planning it
  • Daily practice as the spine of the trip, not an add-on
  • Bathing culture over treatment menus
  • Walking every day and sleeping hard

Skip it if

  • You would rather improvise your days than follow a timetable
  • A trip without meat on the menu would frustrate you

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

ZENHOP (禅_ZENHOP) arranges Japanese-style wellness programs so travellers can reset body and mind in about a week. The public site describes a Kobe, Hyogo practice that plans retreats around Japanese nature, hot springs, healthy eating, and traditional culture. Yoga, meditation, Zen, tea ceremony, and calligraphy. Rather than packing popular tourist circuits. HOPPERS Inc. operates ZENHOP from Chuo-ku, Kobe (Hyogo Travel Arrangement Service No.88). CEO Satoshi Haga and COO Junpei Tada are listed on the About page. Guests enquire at info@hoppers-inc.com. MindReach does not take bookings or commission. The traveller question that opened this listing was Kakurinbo: a six-day yoga and forest-therapy program at Kakurinbo, Yamanashi, near Mt Minobu. Published days start with morning temple service and yoga, then meditation, calligraphy, tea ceremony, sutra copying, inari sushi making, a guided Minobu hike, and Shojin Ryori vegetarian temple meals (Kakurinbo is known for yuba). Optional Koshu wine tasting is listed as extra, not included in the package. Other published programs include a six-day hidden-gem plan at Chishakuin Temple in Kyoto, a six-day curated luxury stay with sea views in Kobe (Kobe Oriental Hotel / Meriken Park area), a three-day yoga and spa retreat at Umi Iro Terrace in Atami, plus highland yoga in Hakuba, Buddhist cultural meditation in Koyasan, and a short natural retreat on Kouzujima. Custom Japanese-style programs can be arranged around season, culture, onsen (Touji), and food. Program prices are not published as a public CAD/USD tariff on zenhop.net. Enquire with ZENHOP for current dates and quotes.
