The New En Fermentation Thermal Wood Bath Opens in Yoyogi Uehara
On May 5, 2025, a new concept in sustainable bathing, the
En Fermentation Thermal Wood Bath, will open its doors in the serene neighborhood of Yoyogi Uehara, Tokyo. Brought to life by
Flavor Inc., headquartered in Osaka, this facility promises to blend the healing power of nature and cutting-edge wellness practices to deliver a rejuvenating experience unlike any other.
A Retreat in the Heart of Tokyo
Located just one minute from Yoyogi Uehara Station, this state-of-the-art wellness center is designed to be an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city life. It claims a unique approach to relaxation, leveraging the ancient Japanese technique of fermentation heating within a sustainably designed space. Research has shown that a mere 15 minutes in the fermentation thermal bath can elevate the body's core temperature by an average of 2°C, which may aid in boosting metabolism and detoxification.
Rich Features for Enhanced Relaxation
A Refined Wellness Experience
The Yoyogi Uehara location inherits the proven attributes of previous
En facilities while introducing several new features:

- - The first Pilates room in En’s history: This addition aims to support overall health and mindfulness, allowing patrons to engage in physical activities that complement the bathing experience.
Indulge in luxury and take the time to reconnect with yourself in this meticulously crafted environment.

The renewal of the hinoki powder utilized in the baths occurs regularly, transforming discarded materials into 100% plant-based sustainable compost that contributes to chemical-free and organic vegetable and rice cultivation.

En Fermentation Thermal Wood Bath, Flavor Inc. aims to address broader issues surrounding forestry and health in Japan, utilizing fermentation to promote environmental healing and community well-being.
