Recommended Treatments at YU, THE SPA

One of the most rewarding series of treatments available at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is YU, THE SPA by L’OCCITANE, a style of relaxation developed by L’OCCITANE offered exclusively at this hotel in Japan. The series currently consists of three types of facial treatments, two types of body treatments, and a facial & body treatment–all offered in a tranquil space with soothing fragrances. 

The 60-minute Relaxing Aromacology Treatment is a popular choice for guests who wish to treat themselves to an hour of deep relaxation. The treatment starts with a lavender-fragranced foot bath complete with a foot massage. The full-body treatment combines Swedish, Chinese, and Balinese massage techniques applied with warm essential oils to relieve muscle tension. Enshrouded in the blissful fragrance of essential oils, you will feel completely relaxed and refreshed after the massage.

The Hot Stone Body Treatment (90 minutes) is an excellent choice ahead of the cold season. The healing power of hot stones, hot springs, and sweet essential oils developed by Aromatherapy Associates is used to improve blood circulation, preparing the body to deal with the chilling weather. The latter half of the treatment consists of a full-body massage that relieves muscle tension and stimulates blood circulation. This wellness program can be enjoyed by guests of all ages and genders.

An exotic full-body treatment with Tahitian massage with skin moisturizing effects, 45-minute treatments for the back and scalp, a complete body and facial treatment to revitalize the skin, or skincare treatments ahead of the cold season–there is a full-range of treatments to choose from for beauty, wellness, and health maintenance. The great news is that some of the premium products used in the spa treatments are available for sale at the spa boutique; if you enjoyed the fragrance or quality of a product in particular, you can purchase it for personal use or offer it as a gift to a friend.
