Kyoto

Kiyome (清) Purification

The principle of Kiyome comes from kiyo, sacred and pure, and mi, beautiful. Our Kiyome ritual steeps your body and soul in a purifying bath fragrant with skin softening Japanese sake. Emerge cleansed and refreshed for a skin-tingling scrub using artisanal Kyo-Tanba bamboo charcoal salt to further smooth the skin and calm the mind. The final blissful step is a bespoke massage, leaving you relaxed and radiant.

Zen (禅) Mind and Spirit

A traditional technique to ease modern day stress. Our Zen treatment artfully lightens the burdens of the mind until you are floating spiritually. A full body massage followed by warm towels encourage the ginger extract to be absorbed, complemented by a gently therapeutic shoulder and neck massage. Awakening the Zen spirit, slow stroke head massage then sends you into a profound state of relaxation. And finally a sake bath will ensure an all-encompassing peace.

Royal Enso (円相) Treatment

Sophisticated and luxurious, feel like a Japanese queen whilst enjoying this ancient, imperial treatment. A warming scrub of bamboo extract and organic green tea prepares the skin, before warm rice milk is poured blissfully along the spine and over the shoulders. Followed by body massage with a warm poultice dipped in creamy honey which provides, hydrating and softening results. Feel your body relax in the delicious warmth, a muscle-melting stone massage, which skin looks rejuvenated, and moisturized with silky texture.

Miyabi (雅) Rejuvenation: Couple Treatment

A serene celebration designed for two, this luxurious full-day spa ritual celebrates togetherness, of couples, of mothers and daughters or of friends. A Japanese plum sake bath eases stress, setting a tranquil ambience. A massage with aromatic seasonal oils then eases the body before a facial by TATCHA, exclusive to The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, nurtures the complexion. An express hands and feet nail treatment and delicious Brasserie lunch completes this memorable and sophisticated day.
