Well, in order to bring the true digs to you our beloved readers, (all knees on it) we have been there, soaked and fed, and we are back with the verdict that this is definitely not the last time you will see us there, so let us share more on the dos, donts, and what to expect in this luxury family day out! (hey hey! please don’t skip to the giveaway just yet!)

YUNOMORI BATH

The wide range of hot baths offered at Yunomori are the familiar Japanese communal bath house types, where everyone enjoys the mineral-rich, warm waters for detoxification and relaxation of the body in full nudity (of course, traditional Japanese style). Yunomori bath consists of a total of 11 Onsen hot baths with 6 for men and 5 for women, ranging from Bubble Bath, Soda Spa, Jet Bath, Silk Bath, Cold Bath, and Hot Bath(only for men) together with a Sauna room and Steam Room to rejuvenates the skin, relieves joint and muscle pain, and relaxes both body and mind.

And, not only adults can indulge in this intoxicating enriching luxury, kids are more than welcome to get their little feet wet and relish in the warm, inviting temperature to an authentic and holistic bathing experience.

MUST TRY: SODA SPA AND SILK BATH are every women’s youth saver if you are suspect any sign of ageing skin or tightness in the body muscles, the aquatic therapy of these two hot baths offer tremendous rehabilitative effects.

SODA SPA consists of a high concentration of CO2, a new technology imported from Japan. The carbon dioxide-rich water increases blood oxygen levels, which improves circulation, reduces high blood pressure, and detoxifies the blood. Eventually, relaxes the body and increases nutrients to the body tissues whilst tightening the skin and improving skin elasticity, ultimately giving a youthful glow.

While velvety SILK BATH (our favourite!) jets tiny bubbles gave a sensual, silky feel. It said to aid buoyancy, stimulate and relax the muscles. Relieving rheumatic and arthritic aches and pains as well as relieving mental stresses. (yess…)

MASSAGE & SPA

This is not your run-of-the-mill massage room, each curve of the wall and dim lighting are all well-thought of to provide their customers with the perfect atmosphere to get the most relief from the treatments.

Enter the world of soothing touch which are not simply relaxing, but also impart important health benefits. And if you follow up after the relaxation of the Onsen, the body will be even more receptive to the benefits of massage.

Among 3 different Spa treatments – Thai Massage, Aroma Massage and Herbal Compression, we went straight for the soothing and gentle experience – Aroma Massage. Further, the fragrant essential oils boost the effects of the expert massage and we get to pick from 4 different massage oil, there were the flowery Jasmine, sensual Japanese, sweet Geranium or the herbal Lemongrass. If you want to align the same smell that you get from the bath area, pick Jasmine because even their shower gel and shampoo are all Jasmine scented which greatly helps in antidepressant and antiseptic purposes.

We were so pampered!

DINING & LOUNGE

Head straight to the dining area after your sweet hot bath or rejuvenating massages, as nutritious beverages, refreshing, and traditional Japanese desserts, and light savoury bites are all freshly made on their premises. There is no need to head out to source for food. Apart from the authentic Japanese cuisine prepared by their Japanese chef, the idyllic surrounding boost of traditional Japanese spirit – minimalistic and zen-ish.

Soon, our table was laid with chilled Hokkaido FRESH milk (for the little one) and strawberry milk. It was said that Japanese always order milk after a good soak and NOTHING else tasted better that day, we crossed our hearts on this! Usually, right at this moment, the hunger pang would peek in, so do check out the following mouth-watering dishes that had us going ga-ga across the table and made us feel even healthier for the day. ALL the signatures instantly became our favourite #fotd; must order dishes at Yunomori.
