JAPANESE BATH EXPERIENCE

The bath waters change with the seasons to create a relaxing experience for all the senses. Guests can also enjoy a Japanese sake spa experience in their own rooms with a complimentary bottle of local Fushimi sake to be added to the bath. With skin brightening and moisturizing properties, sake is one of Japan's long-kept beauty secrets.

The Fushimi area of Kyoto has long been famous for many water legends, and the purity of its springs has made it the perfect place for sake brewing since in ancient times. Near each bath in our rooms, guests will find a bottle of this famous Fushimi sake to add to their bath water. Sake is known for boosting circulation and providing skin with much-needed moisture.
