Zenbo Seinei

Zenbo Seinei Experience

Rejuvenate the body and mind in a tranquil natural environment

AWAJI ISLAND, HYOGO PREFECTURE, JAPAN, December 8, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On April 29, 2022, Awajishima Resort Inc. (Headquarters: Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, President: Yukari Ohinata) opened Zenbo Seinei, a Zen retreat where guests can balance the body and mind through Zen experiences and healthy eating that incorporates gentle ingredients.

Zenbo Seinei is located in a tranquil environment in northern Awaji, surrounded by mountains on all sides and positioned on the 135th meridian of east longitude that extends through Japan. The building was designed by Shigeru Ban, an architect who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize (2014), one of the most prestigious awards in the architecture industry, and features a 100-meter-long wooden deck where guests can experience Zen meditation in the open-air with a 360-degree panoramic view, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The retreat offers five Zen experiences which fully-immerses guests in the beauty of Awaji's nature, including activities such as calligraphy, to unify your mind and intentions through writing characters one stroke at a time, incense-making, to appreciate the scent of various aromatic woods, and tea ceremony, to make tea while calming the mind. In addition, guests are able to enjoy an original dining experience with "Zenbo Cuisine" that creatively incorporates local Awaji ingredients gentle on the body, and is inspired by Buddhist monk cuisine.

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 stay in rooms boasting aromatic wooden flooring and expansive glass windows that allow soft light to shine in.

Through the opening of Zenbo Seinei, Awajishima Resort Inc. aims to provide a space where guests can rejuvenate the mind and body and enjoy a moment of self-reflection in the midst of nature.
