Relaxation that awakens your five senses in Kinugawa, overflowing with pure "qi" (life energy).

Kinugawa, blessed with abundant nature, is said to be overflowing with purified "pure energy." Spa KAIKA is a place where you can surrender your mind and body to this energy. The spa's skincare line, "chi to sé true," which uses fermented rice bran, traditional Japanese herbal ingredients, and hot spring water, moisturizes and beautifies the skin, inviting you into a deep sleep. It is a supreme spa experience that awakens the five senses and balances body, mind, and spirit. We recommend it as a treat for yourself, a gift for a trip, or a getaway for couples.
On the garden terrace and lounge overlooking the Japanese garden, you can enjoy original chiffon cakes and seasonal parfaits while feeling the breeze and sunlight of Kinugawa. There is also an athletic corner where the whole family can enjoy bouldering and mini-basketball.
