Ikigai Adventures: Spring Equinox
Ikigai Adventures by Ikigai Lab is a one-of-a-kind experience where Japanese traditions and modern well-being practices come together to inspire transformation. Combining breathtaking natural settings, expert-led workshops, and curated activities, Ikigai Adventures is more than a retreat—it’s a journey toward self-discovery, community connection, and holistic well-being.
The Spring Equinox is a celebration that marks the beginning of spring on March 20, 2025. On the day of the spring equinox, the day and night are the same length, as the sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west. It unofficially indicates the end of the cold winter season and welcomes the start of the sakura cherry blossom season, a significant phenomenon in Japanese culture.
