Yukiguni* Retreat is one of the few retreat programs in the country where a Retreat Counselor, trained in coaching skills, is always involved in the program. Retreat counselors are there to accompany participants and support them in their special retreat experience. We are aiming to provide the kind of retreats that can only be offered in one of the snowiest regions of the world, and we want to share with our guests the experience of a retreat that will help them rediscover their true selves. Moreover, through our programs, we are endeavoring to contribute to the revitalization of the people, nature, and culture of Snow Country.
Yukiguni is the Japanese name for snow country, and encompasses the meaning of the culture and lifestyle of the area

Our programs are structured in a way to enable participants to get away from the pressures of daily life and to rediscover their true selves, The program is based on the steps of “orientation”, “physical movement,” and “solo time”. “Orientation" is a time to discover the questions to ask ourselves. “Physical movement” encourages a shift from the thinking mode to the sensing mode. Then in “solo time” participants face themselves, and take the time to have an inner conversation. The true worth of a Yukiguni Retreat is the experience of "rebirth”, which is essentially a different experience from a typical trip you take to refresh yourself. During the program, the retreat counselor will be with the participants and guide them through the challenging experience of facing themselves.
