It was our first time to visit Togakushi with my dog, Cherry. We were a bit concerned about the environment and the place before coming because it was also a first time for Cherry to go on an overnight trip. However, it was above and beyond...

Great vegan food mornings and evenings, hosted by lovely people with a nice dog. The opportunity to get ayurvedic massages was fantastic too. Tokagushi is great for forest hiking in summer.

We were welcomed in a lovely home and had some really delicious food. All in all felt very at ease and the fact that you share the living room and bathroom didn't feel uncomfortable in any way.

Breath in Earth – Private Tiny Cottage in the Nature of Togakushi (Short Stay Only) Breath in Earth offers a fully private, independent tiny cottage located in the peaceful nature of Togakushi. The cottage is completely separate from the main house, and you will not share any spaces with other guests. Fresh mountain air, quiet forests, and an open natural setting create a perfect place to relax and recharge. 【Notice】 Breath in Earth previously operated guest rooms inside the main house, but it has been renewed and now offers a “fully private cottage (entire home).” Some older reviews refer to the previous style, but the current accommodation is entirely private. Features Entire home (separate, independent building) Kitchen, bathroom, and toilet Ideal for 2–4 guests Short stays only (no long-term stays) Quiet nature surroundings Popular with couples, families, and small groups 【Ayurveda】 Ayurvedic treatments are available in the treatment room inside the main house. All treatments are provided by Sujith, an Ayurvedic therapist from Kerala, South India, with over 13 years of experience. His unique blend of Kalari massage and Abhyanga provides deep relaxation and helps relieve travel fatigue and stress. (For details and pricing, please inquire.)
Hello! We are a Japanese–Indian couple living in Togakushi, and we run Breath in Earth together. I am Hanako from Japan, and my husband Sujith is from Kerala, India. We also live with our dog Milo, who came with us from India. He is gentle, friendly, and very calm. We love welcoming guests from all over the world. Please feel relaxed and enjoy your stay with us!
Breath in Earth is located in the peaceful and scenic Togakushi area, surrounded by beautiful forests and nature. From spring to autumn you can enjoy fresh forest air and mountain views, and in winter the area becomes a serene snowy landscape. Nearby are the famous Togakushi Shrines (such as Okusha and Chusha), making this a wonderful place for nature walks, forest trails, and visiting spiritual spots. Togakushi is also known for its delicious soba restaurants. One of the local soba restaurants is about a 15-minute walk from the cottage, and several others are easily accessible by car. Please note that most restaurants in the area close early in the evening, so we recommend preparing food in advance or shopping before you arrive, especially if you plan to have dinner. The surroundings are very quiet and calm, perfect for guests who wish to relax in nature or enjoy hiking, sightseeing, and shrine visits.
