Experience winter in silence and warmth at Yūgen Forest. Two nights in cozy off-grid cabins, wood-fired sauna & hot tub, vegetarian meals from an open fire and small craft workshops. A small-scale weekend of fire, simplicity and connection – to slow down, recharge and truly breathe again.

When the world slows down and nature calms down, Yūgen Forest invites you to do the same. During Winter Wonder, you’ll experience winter the way it was meant to be experienced: close to the fire, with time for yourself, nature and each other. You’ll sleep in warm wooden cabins, enjoy wood-fired sauna and hot tub, eat from the land and learn to make bread, tea or fermentations with attention. A weekend that feels gentle and long lasting.
