TOJI no Niwa
Healing with Onsen
TOJI no niwa Kumano-Kawayu
hot spring therapy
TOJI is a Japanese tradition rooted in the restorative power of
hot springs, renewing both body and mind.
At TOJI no Niwa Kumano-Kawayu, we embrace the spring
waters of Kawayu Onsen and a simple rhythm of soaking,
drinking, and resting.
This quiet retreat welcomes pilgrims walking the Kumano Kodo,
as well as those seeking a peaceful escape from everyday life.
Just as one might gaze out at the garden from the veranda of a temple,
we invite you to a hot spring retreat where you can turn inward,
rejuvenate your mind and body, and find inner balance.
This is a peaceful hot spring retreat experience
designed for pilgrims walking the Kumano Kodo
and anyone seeking a break from the daily grind.
TOJI no Niwa Kumanokawayu is located in Kawayu Onsen,
close to the pilgrimage routes of the Kumano Kodo,
a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In this place, where people have long gathered in search of
healing, we offer a new style of TOJI—the traditional Japanese
practice of restorative hot spring retreats.
