Yomogi Steam

The herb of quiet warmth

An editorial guide to Japanese yomogi steam and the YOMO ritual in Prague.

01 — What is yomogi

A green herb of Japanese daily life

Yomogi — Japanese mugwort (Artemisia) — grows wild along rivers and fields across Japan, and has been part of seasonal life for centuries.

It flavours spring sweets like kusa mochi, is brewed as a soft green tea, and in steam it releases a gentle, earthy fragrance. At YOMO we use only 100% pure, edible-grade yomogi, pesticide-free and hand-picked. That is what makes YOMO different from a sauna or a typical day spa in Prague: one herb, one wooden chair, fifteen quiet minutes.

02 — The ritual

Sixty unhurried minutes

  1. 01

    Welcome tea

    Sit down with a cup of warm yomogi tea while we prepare your room.

  2. 02

    The YOMO cape

    In your private room, change into the original YOMO cape.

  3. 03

    Fifteen minutes of steam

    Sit on the hinoki chair as yomogi steam rises gently around you.

  4. 04

    Rest

    Lie back, sip water, and let the warmth settle. No rush.

“A small, warm pause — the kind of self-care that asks nothing of you.”

03 — The hinoki chair

Built around one wooden seat

Each room centres on a chair of hinoki — Japanese cypress — chosen for its soft scent and its warmth to the touch. The steam rises through the seat while the cape keeps the warmth close around you.
