Experience the japan that's not in the brochures

As an extension of our retreat offerings and our private session locations in Indooroopilly and Lowood, we are excited to offer bespoke retreats in our traditional Japanese house in Kiryu. 

Kiryu is a city located in Gunma Prefecture which is about 100km northwest of Tokyo, a two-hour train ride. It is a region abundant with natural beauty as well as being rich in cultural and historical wonders. Gunma is well-known for its high quality natural springs and has many onsens. Once known as the Capital of 'Textile Manufacturing' in Japan, Kiryu has produced silk fabric for more than 1,200 years. 

Our Kiryu House is located on the edge of the city surrounded by natural Japanese forest with wildlife including deer, small bears and beautiful bird life. There are three separate guest rooms with a mix of tatami flooring and futon beds. The house has a beautiful traditonal Japenese garden with nice quiet spaces to enjoy meditation or just a cup of tea while taking in the surrounding tranquil environment. 

A homestay/bespoke retreat can combine private yoga sessions, as well as local Japanese culture and lifestyle experiences. Discover generations-old local family restuarants, art and craft activities, visit seasonal destinations such as Ashikaga Flower Park, local shrines and enjoy a variety of hiking trails and onsens in the area. You can even experience local supermarket shopping and discover some delicacies of your own. 

Come and experience a bespoke homestay away from the hussle and bussle of the big cities and popular tourist hotspots.
