A dedicated Watsu aquatic pool and Japanese hot baths anchor the spa, alongside a botanical alchemy bar and biohack recovery lounge.
Backstory
Opened in 2024 as the brand's Japan debut, BLINK Design Group shaped the retreat around Heian-era courtly elegance and classic folklore.
Eat & drink
Menus at Sekki rotate through the 24 ancient solar terms, complemented by counter omakase and apothecary cocktails hidden behind Nine Tails' wooden door.
The neighborhood
Set in historic Higashiyama, the retreat sits directly across from Toyokuni Shrine, with Sanjūsangen-dō and Kyoto National Museum just steps away.
“Its spa lives up to every brand expectation, and the Nine Tails bar serves up cocktails that feel decidedly current.”
