Osaka Spas

I booked a 40-minute head spa and it was one of my highlight here in Japan. It started with a gentle facial cleanse and mask, then shoulder, back, and scalp massage, followed by two thorough hair washes and a soothing “waterfall” rinse. My hair was left soft, fragrant, and fully dried. The whole experience was dreamy and perfect after a long day of walking and sweating.

The staff were so amazing and lovely to interact with. The entire service from massage to facial and headspa was very relaxing and refreshing. Learning about the history of the temple and how to make matcha tea was a lovely touch.

Oka greeted me on the street with a warm and welcoming greeting. Naomi joined her at the entrance as I continued to receive a warm greeting and guidance. Both of them spoke English and when they weren’t sure what I was saying they consulted each other to make sure I was understood. After sharing information on the reiki experience, I was treated to a gentle footpath. Afterwards Naomi continued with the massage, which was amazing and took me out of my head and into my body and soul. This experience was followed by a simple, yet transformative tea ceremony. My exit was completed with both Oka and Naomi sending me on my way with gentle and kind words. I highly recommend this experience even if you feel a little hesitant to receive a massage. You are in safe and comforting hands.

Arisa was lovely and kind. (And speaks English so helpful to me! The experience was a last minute decision. I'm so glad I did it. The massage was peaceful and calming. I enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a nice touch coming at night. It was nice to sit and look out over the garden entrance as I got the foot bath and ending with a mini matcha ceremony! Would repeat next time I come to Osaka.

My wife and I had a profoundly relaxing and meditative experience during this Matcha facial pack and massage, along with the head spa. This was followed by a tea ceremony that was steeped in tradition! Oka and Kohei were just outstanding as our hosts and therapists!! Thank you!!
