TOJI Stoneware

Original stone vessels designed to enhance your hot spring experience. The cool touch of stone and its gentle weight bring a quiet sense of calm. Crafted by Inagaki Stone Works, a company with over a century of experience working with stone, these vessels reflect a family tradition now approaching its 100th anniversary. Here, the timeless value of stone is carried forward in the form of these vessels.

TOJI Bathing

TOJI bathing brings Japan’s ancient hot spring therapy into the modern era. Inspired by the slow release of the spring’s natural benefits from stone, our Craft Hot Spring offers a deeply restorative experience. Rich minerals and naturally occurring compounds help promote circulation, refresh the skin, and restore balance to body and mind. From easing fatigue to supporting healthy-looking skin, this is a new wellness experience inspired by the natural power of the hot spring.

Washi Bathrobe

Crafted from Mino washi, a traditional paper with more than 1,300 years of history, this bathrobe is made with yarn spun using modern technology. Thanks to washi’s exceptional breathability and absorbency, it feels light and comfortable even after a bath. Though it has a denim-like appearance, it is soft, lightweight, and pleasant against the skin. Each robe is one of a kind, with the natural warmth and character only authentic materials can offer.
