About this experience
Bounce Travels hosts a seven-day retreat in Kyoto that pairs daily guided reflection with time in temples, gardens and mountain landscapes. Morning sessions draw on resilience, boundaries, authenticity and wholehearted living; the afternoons turn those themes into lived exploration around the city.
What you can expect
Days begin with breakfast and a facilitated session, followed by group visits such as Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji, Nijo Castle, Gion and Mount Hiei. There is time to pause and journal before selected shared dinners. The itinerary includes walking and hill climbs, with flexibility to step back when needed.
