Wellness from water

Japan has understood the healing power of mineral bathing since the days of the shogunate, when samurai would use onsen to restore their health and recover from the rigours of battle. As well as aiding in recovery from fatigue and injury and relieving pain, onsen bathing can improve general wellbeing. Enjoy the same restorative benefits as the samurai, with sessions in Amanemu spa's mineral-rich pools.

Herbal healing

Traditional Chinese Medicine arrived in Japan in the 4th century and has since evolved to become the herb-based healing practice, Kampo. The discipline emphasises the importance of attaining balance between body and mind, with plant-derived cures and therapies at its heart. Amanemu’s spa treatments incorporate expert-blended Kampo formulations to achieve specific wellbeing goals.

Personalised Spa Journey  

Amanemu's experienced therapists develop bespoke spa experiences, combining organic blends from the Aman Skincare range, Kampo herbs and local essential oils with an array of treatments and techniques.

Thermal-spring therapy

The onsen pools of the Amanemu Spa are fed by a nearby hot spring, which provides water that is naturally rich in healing minerals – the perfect complement to any spa therapy. Daybeds are positioned around the thermal spring garden, and two separate onsen pavilions provide space to take to the waters in comfort and privacy.

Acupuncture and Shiatsu

Traditional Japanese therapies, acupuncture and shiatsu help regulate the nervous system, enhance the body’s natural healing and benefit mental wellness and anti-aging.

While shiatsu involves applying pressure mainly with the fingers and palms to relax muscle tension and restore the body’s balance, acupuncture treatments consider the condition of the entire body. Moxibustion is also offered, using dried mugwort (moxa) to apply direct or indirect thermal stimulation to the skin in turn warming the body and promoting the flow of Qi (energy) to alleviate various ailments.
