Onsen and Thermal Facilities

The resort's thermal spring garden with daybeds offers an immersive onsen experience at the heart of Amanemu's wellness philosophy. Two private onsen bathing pavilions allow for intimate, uninterrupted thermal bathing, while medicinal baths blend Japan's traditional hot spring culture with the healing properties of Japanese Kampo philosophy. Three types of therapeutic baths are designed to suit each guest's individual needs and preferences, drawing on Eastern medicine's essential elements. The hydrotherapy facility includes a dry sauna and steam room for additional thermal wellness.

Treatment Suites and Spa Services

Amanemu's spa houses four dedicated treatment suites and an Aqua Movement Suite specializing in water-based treatments. All treatments utilize chemical-free Aman Skincare products. Therapies include acupuncture and shiatsu—traditional Japanese practices that regulate the nervous system, enhance natural healing and support mental wellness and anti-aging. Moxibustion using dried mugwort (moxa) applies thermal stimulation to warm the body and promote Qi (energy) flow. Treatments incorporate local and seasonal ingredients including pearl powder, seaweed, and herbs and plants used in traditional kampo therapies.

The Forest & Water Anniversary Journey, inspired by Ise Shima's natural rhythms, combines grounding rituals using Japanese botanicals with signature natural hot spring water head treatments. The Essence of Tokowaka programme pairs six yoga sessions with six treatments, aligning body and mind with natural elements and chakras. Seasonal spa journeys use different kampo herbal formulations and local ingredients to harmonize with the annual rhythms of nature.
