SPA
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 the 6th floor of both the Alps Wing and Park Wing towers, 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 it's spa wing Tenbounoyu, which literally means '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, during 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 water used is low in alkaline properties and is most recommended for soothing the body and relieving muscle pain.
This facility is complimentary but the city imposes an Onsen (or 'Hot Spring') Tax of JPY200 per person.
Spa
The latest feather in our 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 the soft touch 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-minute treatments.
There are six treatment rooms with views of the mountains, four of which have private hot spring baths that are each made from different materials (hinoki wood, ceramic, Towada-stone and Kuromigake black-stone).
This is a by-appointments-only spa, and it is recommended that you arrive 20 minutes prior to the appointment time to receive counseling and indulge in 10 minutes of relaxation in our Meditation Room.
