Group Stay

Why Årc for Group Retreats

A Place Designed for Group Retreats

Årc was designed to gently dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, creating spaces where people naturally gather, connect, and spend time together.

To support everyday life on Yakushima, we've also equipped the shared spaces with the tools and essentials needed for daily living—including a fully equipped kitchen.

Årc-hosted retreat: “Creating Your Authentic Work”

Shared Space & Things

Shared Spaces,
Surrounded by Nature.

Årc was designed to gently dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, while creating spaces where people naturally gather and connect.

The shared kitchen and everyday essentials also make it easy for a group to live and spend time together throughout their stay.

Bed Rooms

Private Rooms
for Individual Space.

Most bedrooms at Årc are private single rooms. This makes room arrangements easier for groups while respecting different levels of privacy and avoiding some of the stresses that can come with shared dorm-style rooms.

The rooms themselves are intentionally minimal, encouraging people to spend more time outdoors and naturally gather in the shared spaces.

A private single room overlooking the forest and mountains. Listen to the gentle sound of the river, and in late spring, you may even spot fireflies from your window.

Ocean View Single

A private single room with views of the Pacific Ocean. During the winter months, whales can sometimes be seen from the room.

Café & Bar

Good Coffee,
Beer, & Whisky
