The Spa Insider chatted with Mr. Satochi Nakahara, Director of Spa, to learn more about this relaxation oasis in the heart of Tokyo, Japan:
Hotel Chinzanso’s Tokyo Garden.
Why You’ll Love It: YU, THE SPA is located at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a one-of-a-kind, five-star luxury urban resort known for its vast property, a massive green oasis in the middle of Tokyo. This environment is something that no other spas and hotels can offer in Tokyo, and our guests love the tranquility of our green oasis. Surrounded by gorgeous nature, singing birds and natural light, you can forget that you are actually in one of the world’s busiest cities.
Even if you have no time to take a vacation, at our spa guests enjoy a relaxing getaway from their busy lives without really leaving Tokyo. Our spa facility is superb and our treatments are also topnotch, but what our guests love most is our tranquil environment, a gem of Tokyo.

Key Features: Guests will enjoy upscale amenities including an all-weather pool and onsen (Japanese hot spring bath), vast garden and unique activities.
Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s Onsen Hot Spring Bath.
Bonus: At our spa, we have a real “onsen” (Japanese hot spring bath), which is known for various health and skin benefits. We bring the mineral-rich hot spring water from Ito, one of the most famous hot springs. Our spa guests, who are booked for treatments, have access to the hot spring bath without additional costs. Onsen is not only relaxing, but it also promotes blood circulation and makes a treatment even more effective if you soak in the bath prior to your services. We strongly recommend that you take advantage of this perk, a unique offering.
