From Thursday, September 1, to Wednesday, November 30, 2022, the 29th-floor “Chi, The Spa” will offer the autumn special treatment “Tokyo Authentic Experience Autumn,” which incorporates pomegranate known for its strong antioxidant properties and skin regeneration effects, as well as the “Chakra Balance Therapy,” which customizes treatment for each guest to balance the body’s energy pathways or “chakras.”
This autumn special treatment luxuriously uses pomegranate, which has a long history appearing in many ancient myths and has long been considered beneficial for beauty and health, used in medicinal cuisine, traditional Chinese medicine, and supplements. Punicalagin (Omega-5), a unique beauty component found only in pomegranate and the main ingredient of pomegranate oil, is reported to have very strong antioxidant power, promote skin regeneration, and facilitate fat burning, making it effective in improving dryness and loss of firmness. This treatment moisturizes the skin with a 100% pomegranate juice bath containing such power, then polishes the skin to a smooth texture with a scrub wrap containing hot spring components and rose with high anti-aging effects. After warming the body from the core in a steam sauna, a full-body massage using pomegranate seed oil and a blend of geranium, clove, and rose oils relieves muscle tension, provides moisture to dry autumn skin and throat, and guides the body to a lustrous, firm, and high-quality state.
Period: Thursday, September 1, 2022 – Wednesday, November 30, 2022
Duration: 150 minutes
Price: 51,700 yen (Tax included)
“Chakra” means “wheel” in Sanskrit, and the seven points existing along our body’s energy pathways are called chakras. This treatment is a special journey that works on the five senses and restores harmony to the balance of all chakras. First, guests intuitively choose their favorite stone from seven stones corresponding to the chakras, and the treatment is customized for each individual using the chakra oil corresponding to that stone. Using the oil helps to activate these “seven chakras” in a balanced way and smooth the flow of energy.
While listening to the quietly flowing ancient sacred melodies during the treatment, a scrub treatment using Himalayan salt is applied. The mineral-rich salt softens the skin all over the body, and an oil treatment incorporating Ayurvedic techniques relieves tension throughout the body. Through serene touch, consciousness focuses on the “now,” allowing guests to experience the comfort of being released from accumulated fatigue in mind and body. By balancing all chakras, it guides both mind and body to a harmonious state, enabling energetic and healthy daily living.
