Spas of Japan

In a land suffused with an ancient history of mind-body wellness and an attention to detail that will constantly surprise you with its thoughtfulness, expect to be pampered in Japan.

The national obsession for presentation infuses everything from high-end wares at Prada’s glossy retail palace in Tokyo’s Omotesando, to the menu at a local ramen noodle snack bar, with refinement and that uniquely Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi, or finding beauty in the organic imperfection of nature.

Expect that same sensitivity to lend itself to spa and wellness offerings here and be sure to soak in a traditional Japanese onsen (bath) at a remote, mountaintop ryokan (Japanese Inn).
