The Daigenta area of Yuzawa Town, where the retreat takes place, is named after its symbol, Mt. Daigenta (1598 meters above sea level). This mountain is also called the Matterhorn of the East because of its shape. At the foot of the mountain is Lake Daigenta, which was formed by damming the Daigenta River, and once prevented the great floods that brought great hardship to the area. The area is now a popular spot for walking and paddle sports. The abundant local water, which seeps into the ground from melting snow, irrigates the people and the land, and nourishes the delicious vegetables and rice grown here. The retreat aims to allow you to experience with all five senses the rich history of this fascinating area, the lives of the people, the beauty of nature, and the importance of "water" as an essential part of human life, to return to your origins and look at what is truly important to you.
