Unbelievable Japan – Must-visit (2)

Today, I am goting to introduce “Zenbo Seinei / 禅坊靖寧（兵庫県）” as one of the Must-visit places in Japan. Why don’t you have a Serene Retreat for Inner Peace of Mind there.

Zenbo Seinei is located amidst the pristine nature of Awaji Island, Zenbo Seinei is a wellness facility for rejuvenating the body and mind by adopting the philosophy of Zen. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban, winner of the Prizker Architecture Prize, Zenbo Seinei features a 100 meter long wooden deck where you can feel the warmth and bathe in the aroma of Japanese cedar. The retreat was developed as a place to allow visitors to experience Zen through experiences such as zazen meditation, yoga and healthy eating. If you would like to escape from the commotion of everyday life and experience a moment of peace and tranquility in a rich natural environment, this is the place to be. Zenbo Seinei offers both one day and overnight packages, including the “Zen Wellness Plan”, a one day retreat, and the “Zen Stay Plan”, an overnight experience in which guests have the chance to stay in rooms boasting aromatic wooden flooring and expansive glass windows that let in the natural light. Rejuvenate your body and mind and enjoy a moment of inner reflection in the open air, with a 360 degree panoramic view of Awaji Island that changes with each season.
