Escaping from the stressful city life, you can truly heal your body and soul – from nature, graceful services, healthy food, mineral hot bath, and impeccable Zen-inspired spa treatments  

 

Surrounded by magnificent nature with trees and flowers, Tsubaki is a true escape from the hustle bustle of urban life. Having 30 years of business, Tsubaki offers ultimate relaxation and true hospitality for every one of their guests.  

 

Tatami floors, paper-sliding doors, Zen-like interior, flowers on the tables, a wooden terrace overlooking sophisticated Japanese garden  --  staying at this traditional Japanese style inn (called ryokan) will be a life-time memory.   The sensitivity to subtle changes of the four seasons is part of the Japanese culture. During your stay, you will feel this authentic Japanese concept through different elements. Enjoy the outdoor hot mineral bath in the middle of nature (you must experience it!) and savor the authentic Japanese meal called Kaiseki.  Tsubaki serves an exquisite 13-course meal using seasonal fresh ingredients! 

 

“Zen Style Spa – Ichirin” was the great addition to the Tsubaki. Opened in October 2007, it is a true Zen inspired world. All guests are welcomed with a cup of ginger tea, which warms up your body from the inside out. Followed by Zen ritual, which balances your chakras while feeling energy vibrating from a singing ball, your true holistic treatment will begin. Try their signature treatment, “Tsubaki Oil Aryurveda Shirodhara” using a home-blend of Tsubaki oil. The Green Tea Body Scrub using original products and the Carita facial is nice, too. A hand massage and scalp treatment can be added as an option. 

 

Tsubaki awakens your sense, resets your mind, and rejuvenates your body – the ultimate Japanese style retreat. You can’t miss it.
