Kawaji lies along the Aizu Nishi Kaido, a historic route. Located near Nikko, long renowned as a sightseeing destination, it once served as a key passage linking Edo and Aizu in Oshu. The Onsen that springs up in Kawaji was also valued for helping with injuries, giving rise to the saying, “For wounds, Kawaji; for burns, Taki,” and it became a place of therapeutic bathing where many travelers soothed their fatigue. Building on this legacy today, we are renewing our property as “Iwai Yado Ju-an,” aiming to be a hidden Accommodation in Kawaji where guests from afar can relax with ease and melt away everyday tiredness. With magnificent nature 펼 펼 before you, we hope you will forget time and gently warm your memories and heart.
