Tokyo, Japan – March 3, 2025 – SEED COMMERCE TOKYO Co.,Ltd., a leading provider of transformative wellness retreats for international tourists in Japan, today announced the launch of its new joint wellness tour program. This initiative marks the company’s expansion to include domestic travelers, offering unique wellness experiences in collaboration with renowned wellness experts and content creators.

Joint Wellness Tours: A Unique Approach to Wellness Travel

Joint wellness tours are designed to provide unparalleled experiences where participants can engage in wellness activities alongside leading wellness experts and content creators. These curated tours feature specialized themes such as Zen meditation, nature immersion (including forest bathing and island retreats), and plant-based culinary experiences, reflecting the unique passions and expertise of the collaborating partners.

Expanding Horizons in the Wellness Tourism Market

SEED COMMERCE TOKYO Co.,Ltd., which has primarily catered to international tourists, is now extending its services to the domestic market in response to the growing interest in wellness within Japan. This expansion aims to make the transformative benefits of wellness retreats accessible to a broader audience.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, the global wellness tourism market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to surge from $4.5 trillion in 2020 to $7 trillion by 2025. 

In Japan, while the inbound tourism boom has catalyzed a rise in wellness-focused activities and initiatives, the domestic health tourism market, encompassing wellness tourism, is estimated at 4 trillion 9.6 billion yen (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). This represents approximately 0.6% of the global market, highlighting significant untapped potential for future expansion.
