Chichibu Hostel’s Yoga Experience: Dive Deep into Japan’s Coolest Retreat!

Hey! Have you heard of Chichibu? It’s known as a famous tourist spot in Japan thanks to anime!
I’m not really into anime myself, but I’ve heard rumors that Chichibu is incredibly cool these days, so there’s no way I can miss out on going there!


The colorful train is so cool! Feeling like a VIP!

When I arrived at Seibu Chichibu Station, I was surprised. No way, is this a joke…?

There’s a pyramid in Chichibu? I’ve never heard of a pyramid in Japan!

Does Chichibu somehow connect to Egypt?

The symbol of Chichibu, Mount Bukou. It seems to disappear on rainy days. How mysterious it is!


I heard I could experience yoga this time, and as I was guided to the venue, Man, I can’t believe it!!

There’s a Bali in the middle of Chichibu!! Is Chichibu actually Egypt or something!!

What the heck! This is definitely like Bali! Where am I right now? Is this not Japan?


Just when I was surprised, a lovely lady appeared. She’s a yoga instructor. Her aura is amazing. So this is what they mean by “ki” in Japan!

The legendary yoga instructor.


And so, the private yoga session begins. I joined in with the ladies. Turns out, I’m pretty good at yoga!

I completely forgot I was in Japan.

After yoga, I had herbal tea and then an esthetic treatment. I felt like I’d become a millionaire in Bali.

Authentic herbal tea sourced from Bali. It tastes amazing!
The esthetic treatment after yoga was pure bliss. (This photo is a model. Posted with permission from RUANG SUARA.)

After being rejuvenated by yoga and esthetic treatment, it was finally time for dinner. I’d been looking forward to it. It was so delicious!! Bali’s beer is the best!

I seriously don’t know where I am anymore.


The nights in Bali are also fantastic. Oh wait, this isn’t actually Bali…

They even have candlelit yoga at night!

After getting full, I spent the night at the power spot lodging “Chichibu Hostel” located on the approach to Chichibu Shrine. The host, Sam, was a cool guy.

Sam seems to be a descendant of samurai. I heard he even wears a kimono on weekends.

In the morning, I woke up early and visited Chichibu Shrine. Yeah, Chichibu is definitely a part of Japan after all.

So colorful. Were shrines always this beautiful?
The shutter art at Chichibu Hostel. I love art. There’s a hidden monkey? Where is it?

On the second day, I asked Sam for his recommended spots in Chichibu and went sightseeing around Chichibu!


Chichibu has great food no matter where you go.


Chichibu sounds like an amazing place, a fantastic blend of Egypt, Bali, and Japan. I’ll definitely go there someday, so wait for me!
