About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Spa Relaken specializes in Ganbanyoku, a signature hot stone spa experience featuring authentic beds made with natural mineral stones imported from Japan. Spa-goers describe this as a more elevated experience than a traditional sauna, providing a deep, core-warming heat that is unique in quality. Guests note the SGE Super Growth Energy stone is particularly effective, with some reporting the ability to sweat on the stone where they typically have difficulty. The facility maintains separate spa areas for men and women, which include these hot stone beds, jacuzzis, and hinoki wood saunas. Some guests have noted a preference for the jacuzzi to be hotter. The experience is credited with providing wellness benefits similar to a natural Japanese hot spring, warming the body from the core.
Atmosphere
The spa offers a very clean, well-maintained, and relaxing environment that makes guests feel as if they are in Japan. The interior decoration is carefully crafted, contributing to a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Guests often feel they have the spa to themselves, even when other visitors are present, as it is rarely crowded. A dedicated Relaxation Lounge allows guests to sit with hot green tea to complete their relaxation process post-treatment.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Many guests highlight professional and welcoming service, with specific praise for massage therapist Yuzu's extraordinarily relaxing and rejuvenating Swedish massage techniques and hostess Kumiko's warm and professional guidance. However, other experiences cite disappointing customer service, including issues with honoring reserved appointment times and confusion over promotional details that were not resolved to the guest's satisfaction.
Additional Amenities
The spa provides high-quality amenities in the dressing area, including hair cream, lotion, and face wash. A spa plus lunch special is available, allowing guests to enjoy a gourmet meal at the restaurant right next door in the hotel after their treatment. Complimentary water and tea are offered post-service.
