Spa Wing-onsen or Hot spring Baths
This is perhaps the most talked-about facility in town. Imagine an entire wing dedicated to hot spring baths! Accessible from 6th floor of both the accommodation towers, Alps Wing and Park Wing, take a slow walk down an all- tatami aisle, bow under the no-ren (Japanese curtains) and approach baths fit for the gods!Hotel Associa Takayama Resort has invested more than USD7 million and eight months to complete its spa wing called Tenbounoyu, literally meaning ‘bath with a panoramic view’. The 5th floor (‘bou’-no-yu or ‘overlooking bath’) and 7th floor (‘Ten’-no-yu or ‘Sky bath’) are dedicated to more than ten indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. The hotel designates one floor to one gender and changes the rotation everyday. Thus, for a two-days-one-night stay, one is able to enjoy both baths. The 6th floor features the Yushoku Raku Terrace Restaurant, as well as a hot spring bath to sooth tired feet. Hida-produced milk is available via vending machines on this floor and they are highly recommended for all ages.The quality of the hot spring used is low on its alkaline properties and is most recommended for soothing body and muscle aches. This facility is complimentary but the city imposes Onsen or Hot Spring Tax of JPY200 per person.

Spa
The newest ‘feather on the cap’ is the newly-opened Spa Phyton at Hotel Associa Takayama Resort. Using ‘phyto-style’ therapy and ‘touch-style’ therapy, all our treatments are based on catalyzing one’s self-healing powers for the benefit of the body, mind and spirit.
Lymphatic nodes of the body are stimulated by soft touches of the therapists’ hands with the help of ‘phyto’ therapeutic natural herbal oils, resulting in the expulsion of dead cells from the body. Choose from our complete facial, body, foot, head and scrub treatments, ranging from 30 to 120 minutes durations.
There are six treatment rooms with views of the mountains, four of which have private hot spring baths that are made of different materials (hinoki wood, ceramic, Towada-stone and Kuromigake black-stone).
This is a by-appointments-only spa, and it is recommended to arrive 20 minutes prior to the appointment time to receive counseling and undergo a 10 minutes’ quiet moment in our Meditation Room.
