Yugawara Soyu Books and Retreat.Books, baths, contemporary design and nature: this is the simple formula behind a minimalist new hot spring escape just a few hours by train from Tokyo. Yugawara Soyu Books and Retreat is surrounded by forests in Yugawara, a small town in Kanagawa Prefecture famed for its onsen heritage. The complex is made up of Genkan Terrace — a renovated community space with a cafe, co-working space and hot spring footbath — plus, deep among the trees, Soyu Terrace, a network of minimalist black wood pavilions with hot spring onsen baths, a restaurant and a library. —via Design Anthology
