A Unique Retreat in Urban Tokyo
On April 20, 2026, a refreshing concept in wellness will unveil in the heart of Nakameguro, Tokyo with the grand opening of 'SAUNA KIKI.' Developed by PLAY&co, a company focused on innovative urban retreats, 'SAUNA KIKI' promises an immersive steam sauna experience that integrates relaxation and rejuvenation using natural herb-infused steam.
A New Concept in Wellness
Nestled within a calming white space, 'SAUNA KIKI' aims to provide an environment where guests can engage in self-care activities all within the comfort of a private steam sauna room. The design is inspired by the Japanese concept of 'ki' ('steam' or 'vapor'), symbolizing the refreshing embrace of steam and the uplifting feeling that accompanies the sauna experience.
With its attention to detail, 'SAUNA KIKI' has gained considerable buzz before its opening, obtaining over 5 million yen in support on the crowdfunding platform Makuake on its first day. The project quickly rose to number one on the Makuake daily ranking, as it reflects a growing interest in wellness and relaxation spaces.
Experience and Offerings
Unlike conventional dry saunas, 'SAUNA KIKI' offers a steam sauna experience where guests can enjoy the soothing properties of natural herbs. The steam is carefully engineered to achieve an ideal balance between warmth and comfort. Utilizing homemade herbal water sourced from an Ibaraki farm, the steam creates an environment where visitors can deeply inhale the natural fragrances, enhancing their overall experience.
Guests will find that each sauna room is equipped with a shower for cooling down, allowing them to seamlessly transition between heating up in the sauna and refreshing themselves without having to leave the room. This unique space allows for an effective self-care routine, where services like skincare can be conducted right within the sauna.
Moreover, 'SAUNA KIKI' consists of three distinct private sauna rooms, each tailored for a unique experience:
1.
2F MEGURI - Focused on balance, featuring a sauna and water bath in the same room to allow guests to control their temperature shifts.
2.
3F HODOKE - A cozy setting designed to quickly circulate the steam, ideal for those looking for a revitalizing experience.
3.
4F YUDANE - Equipped with flat beds for lounging, emphasizing relaxation through herbal steam immersion.
Guests can customize their experience further by bringing in personal items or utilizing provided quality amenities to enhance their stay. This flexibility aligns with the overarching design philosophy of self-focused wellness and relaxation.
The Future of Urban Relaxation
Located just a six-minute walk from Nakameguro Station and eight minutes from Daikanyama Station, 'SAUNA KIKI' is designed to be easily accessible for city workers and residents alike. It offers a quiet escape to disconnect from the fast pace of urban life and reconnect with oneself.
Furthermore, for those interested in taking a piece of 'SAUNA KIKI' home with them, official merchandise such as T-shirts, stickers, and more will be available, allowing guests to integrate the essence of 'joyful days' into their everyday lives.
In conclusion, 'SAUNA KIKI' presents not only an innovative sauna experience but also a philosophy of wellness that embraces nature and self-care seamlessly. The meticulous design and unique offerings position this retreat as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking relaxation in Tokyo.
