About.
Water spring from the land of Aso. Fresh air flowing through the forest.
TAO Retreat & Cafe is in the bosom of nature
We help you replenish spirit and body with the blessing of the Earth.
You can stay in the accommodation constructed with natural materials, surrounded by wild nature.
We pour our heart and soul into the meals we serve - Macrobiotic cuisine, meals of great life force using organic foods harvested in the garden of the facility.
