The highly rated spa is designed to resemble an 18^th century Tokugawa Japanese village. The spa has its own thundering waterfalls, creek, and fog-like mist installed to truly immerse you and get you in your most relaxed yet. Bathe and soothe both your body and soul in their hot spring, rejuvenate and energize in their stimulating mineral bath, an enjoy a vigorous hydro-massage in their waterfall basin. Become one with the water and melt away!

The service doesn’t end there, as you move onto their dry-heat sauna to sweat out the stresses and toxins, and head to a classic massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, or body scrub.
