A Stay with a Sense of Place

Contemporary Interiors in Conversation with Nature

Miwa Yugawara isn’t your typical ryokan inn. The interior is modern and refined, boasting clean lines and a restrained color palette that allow the surrounding forest to take precedence. Here, furnishings are selected for comfort without excess, creating an environment of rest and relaxation. Rather than drawing attention inward, the design directs focus outward to the great outdoors.

Infinitely Open Spaces

Each area of the hotel maintains a connection with the outside. Windows frame treetops and mountain edges, while allowing light inside that softens the boundaries of the room. Movement through Miwa Yugawara feels unhurried, guided by the natural rhythm of the natural world. The result is an environment where time slows down and invites you to do the same.

Other Rooms

Kodachi Twin

Situated on the first floor, the Kodachi Twin is closely connected to the forest via a circular open-air bath sitting within reach of trees and foliage-filtered sunlight. The sound of birds and the movement of leaves become part of the room’s ambience, encouraging rest and relaxation in a setting gently enclosed by verdure.

Miwa Suite

The Miwa Suite, located on the top floor, is the largest of the Miwa Yugawara accommodations. As a corner room facing the forest, it mixes stunning views with separate living and sleeping areas that are softly illuminated by natural light. The open-air bath and fresh air contribute to the overall allure of this room.

Deepen Your Connection to the Region

The Quiet Depth of a Forest Retreat

Within the forests of Kanagawa, Miwa Yugawara offers a stay defined by silence, nature, and luxury. The surrounding greenery is a constant presence throughout the inn, shaping both space and time. The experience here isn’t defined by activities but rather through existing amidst natural sunlight, crisp air, and the soothing sounds of nature. Each element contributes to an unparalleled sense of calm that you will find here.

Soaking Your Worries Away

The private open-air baths available in each room are strategically positioned at the fluid border of the stillness of the forest. Facing the trees, each bathtub creates moments that immerse you in both natural spring water and nature, accompanied by the gentle sounds of wind and birds. Through this, Miwa Yugawara soaks become something more than baths. They become a closer, unspoken connection with the land.

A Retreat Guided by Forest, Water, and Time

Surrounded by trees and softened by natural light, a stay at Miwa Yugawara includes a lot of quiet moments of observation, reflection, and mindfulness. The private open-air baths are central to these experiences, offering time spent in hot spring water while facing the majesty of nature. Subtle sounds and shifting air create a calm whose ancient roots are planted firmly in the soil of Yugawara. Visit the retreat and see if you can feel their pulse.

At Miwa Yugawara, Japanese sensibilities are ever-present but don’t feel formal, instead bringing attention to the natural world around you. The experience thus remains gentle and connected to something grander, erasing boundaries between spaces and allowing the mind to wander free in search of tranquility.
