JAPAN
Coastal Calm and Ancient Kyoto
with Melina Meza & Baxter Bell
May 7-14, 2027
Experience Japan through the serene rhythm of Kansai, where island wellness, timeless traditions, and Kyoto’s refined elegance come together in a meaningful journey of discovery. Begin on peaceful Awaji Island with daily yoga, restorative wellness experiences, sacred temples, coastal cruising, and hands-on cultural traditions before continuing to Kyoto for Zen experiences, tea fields, matcha making, traditional arts, and iconic temples. From incense making and kimono or tea ceremonies to a special farewell dinner with a Maiko, each experience is thoughtfully chosen to invite presence, connection, cultural immersion, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Japan.
