For many people, going on a yearly vacation is a necessity to escape their stressful routines and lifestyle. These kinds of trips are generally planned way ahead of the departure time, and have every detail carefully listed. Few surprises are expected.
Other major reasons why individuals, couples or entire families pack their bags to enjoy luxury accommodations, or explore the unknown, include:

- To build and/or strengthen relationships
- To improve overall health and wellbeing
- To rest, relax and slow down the pace
- To provoke exciting experiences and adventure
- To escape worries, stress and personal drama
- To break from a city lifestyle
- To learn about other cultures
- To see other landscapes
- To mark a special occasion

Sometimes vacations are taken for one sole purpose, while other times, excursions are organized to combine a number of reasons; honeymoons and wedding anniversaries trips, for instance, offer couples an excellent opportunity to combine relaxation, relationship building, and adventure. If they book their time-off at an eco-friendly Japanese-style mountain retreat, they can also add cultural exchange, and culinary exploration to their list of holiday achievements.

Themed retreats are extremely popular, as they offer luxury and affordable accommodations, exclusive culinary experience, spa services, as well as a taste of authentic foreign living. It is the perfect way to explore exotic countries, like Japan, but without long distance travel.

It is natural for travelers to expect first class hospitality and services when staying at a Japanese-style mountain retreat. The Japanese culture is renowned for being generous, respectful and its people are eager to please those who want to join them. Like the hosts, guests are integrated into the rich lifestyle, so they too can benefit from the ancient traditions and ceremonies that helped the Japanese culture to survive and thrive throughout time.

Luxurious Japanese style resorts are typically located in serene environments, like the rolling hills, inviting valleys, and thick, temperate rainforest of the Dandenong Ranges, which are located approximately 35 km east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. These peaceful settings are ideal for those vacationers who want to rekindle with nature, while enjoying some much deserved relaxation and tranquility.

As part of their services, retreats dedicated to authentic traditional Japanese living offer a variety of accommodations. Depending on your level of comfort, you can either book a room that has modern conveniences, such as television, radio, DVD player, reverse cycle air-conditioning, yukuta robes, and a fully equipped kitchen complete with familiar breakfast provisions, or you can opt for more minimalistic setting. If you do not like to cook, yet prefer to maintain your privacy, you can also conveniently dine in your suite. Anything from a simple meal to a 6 course meal consisting of dishes such as Miso soup, Sushi and Sashimi, Gyoza Dumplings, Okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake), to Gaeng Khiew Waan (Green chicken curry), steamed rice and green tea ice cream, can be served.

No holiday based on the Orient would be complete without a traditional tea ceremony, your private ofuro (deep tub) overlooking your very own peaceful garden, or a sensual, therapeutic spa treatment. These services are just a fraction of the unique experiences you can expect when booking your luxury accommodation vacation at a Japanese style retreat. Remember that, next time you are contemplating an R & R getaway!
