What are Carolyn Scott's top recommendations for a healthy getaway in Japan?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. In Japan, I love focusing on relaxation, mindfulness, and gentle movement rather than a packed sightseeing schedule.

My top healthy getaway recommendations in Japan:

1. Spend time in onsen towns (hot springs) for soaking, unwinding, and Japanese spa rituals like Shiatsu massage
2. Visit Zen Buddhist temples for mindfulness and quiet reflection
3. Go hiking in nature for fresh air and grounding
4. Enjoy simple, plant-forward Japanese meals and green tea

Are you more interested in spa/relaxation, hiking, or cultural experiences for your Japan trip?
