The Treatments

Inspired by Fukuoka’s enchanting ume (Japanese plum) blossoms, the Botanical Revive treatment is pure bliss. After an immune-boosting ume drink, you’ll enjoy a warm bamboo massage and an acupressure facial to relax tense muscles and refresh your skin.
Lean further into local culture with the Itazuke Restore ritual. Honoring rice, an ingredient that’s is central to the Japanese food traditions, the 120-minute journey begins with soothing, heated pillows filled with rice and an aromatherapy massage infused with rose, geranium and orange, followed by a facial and scalp massage for head-to-toe relaxation.
The sea plays a starring role in the Oceanic Purity experience, which leverages the healing powers of seaweed and algae. The multifaceted treatment includes a full-body exfoliation featuring nori harvested from the nearby Ariake Sea, an algae wrap, a body massage and a scalp massage for smoother, firmer and more hydrated skin.
For something a bit different, try the SKIN - Renew and Revitalize Ritual. After a salt body scrub, you’ll undergo a Tri-Active Resilience Recovery Facial. The latter aims to help you find tranquility and a radiant complexion through guided breathing, visualization and calming techniques for the scalp, body and face.
