Suspended in heaven, at the start and end of all roads in Japan, experience the ultimate in Japanese hospitality and aesthetic treatment at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo. Calming aromas and Buddhist sounds guide you on a journey of inner peace, health and beauty.
Luxury hotels in Tokyo offer one-of-a-kind spa treatments that are exclusively offered at their hotel spas in Tokyo. Such spa treatments, which utilize the unique beauty methods of Japan and the delicate hand techniques of Japanese therapists as well as their sophisticated hospitality, is something that must be experienced when in Tokyo.
During the Edo period (early 17th century), five major roads were developed in Japan and all five routes started from Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Nihonbashi, at the center of Japan, was where travel started and ended. At the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo located in Nihonbashi, you can experience “Totally Tokyo - The Five Journeys from Nihonbashi”, an exclusive treatment that was inspired by these five roads. This menu uses five Japanese ingredients: green tea, pine, bamboo, rice bran and plum. Taking you away from your busy life and the hustle and bustle of the city, this treatment will guide you on a “Journey of the Five Senses” to restore a sense of tranquility and peace.
Matching The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo's concept “A Heavenly Space in the Sky,” the massage treatment high up on the 37th floor is truly an extraordinary and exciting experience. Guests warm up in the heat and water area overlooking Tokyo, and take a short break with a drink and snack before the therapist begins the treatment. The therapist starts with a foot bath containing pine oil that calms the mind, and as you breathe deeply, a plum salt foot scrub begins. After that, a beautiful Buddhist sound signals the beginning of the treatment that leads into a deep, relaxed state of meditation. While warming the body to the core with a Rice Heating pad, the whole body is completely relaxed with their unique shiatsu-style techniques and stretching. To end the “Journey of the Five Senses”, guests enjoy a glass of plum juice while looking out on the spectacular view of Tokyo. This spa's original treatment will give you a sense of happiness through all five senses of smell, touch, taste, sight, and hearing, and remind you of the excellence Japan and Tokyo has to offer.
