Congratulations to Six Senses Kyoto Spa who have been nominated for the Spa it Girl Awards – Favourite Spa Treatment in 2024. The Favourite Spa Treatment nominated is the Watsu (Aquatic Bodywork) and considering this Six Senses destination only recently opened in Japan this is very exciting spa wellness news indeed especially for the spa team.
At the spa you can enjoy a nourishing wellness shot before blending up your own beauty scrubs at the Alchemy Bar.
Ingredients are chosen every period to reflect Japan’s 24 micro-seasons, or sekki, from Risshun (beginning of spring) in early February right through until Daikan (greater cold) the following January.
When you stay at Six Senses Kyoto you can choose a view from one of their 81 rooms and suites – the choice of views are either their internal courtyard, the city, or the garden of the famous 16th-century Toyokuni Shrine opposite them.
Six Senses Kyoto can be found in the tranquil Higashiyama district, an easy walk from the Myoho-in Temple, Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo Buddhist Temple, offering a serene sanctuary inspired by the flourishing art and cultural heritage from the Heian era.
Kyoto is historically the capital and still thought to be the cultural and historical heart of Japan. Kyoto is famed for its Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, palaces, traditional Japanese architecture, beautiful cherry blossoms, and mountains covered in centuries-old cedar trees surrounding the city.
Beyond the major sites are narrow alleyways dotted with small family-run arts and crafts businesses, art galleries, and traditional Kyoto food shops. Six Senses Kyoto is an ideal base to discover the hidden gems.
Nature lovers can hike through the cedar-clad mountains on trails that served as pilgrimage routes for the monks in bygone days. The spirituality inclined can find balance and inner peace while meditating at a tranquil Zen temple.
Food is served in the all-day dining Sekki and Cafe Sekki at Six Senses Kyoto and they use seasonal ingredients such as Kyoto vegetables that are grown by seventh-generation Yamada Farm.
Threading all of these elements together is the spirit of playfulness, know as asobi gokoro.
