YUNOMORI
ONSEN & SPA
Singapore
The mineral-rich and warm waters of
the baths in this onsen spa inside
Kallang Wave Mall not only de-stress
the weary body but also detoxify it
from harmful toxins. The calming dip
is a prep for the healing effects of the
Thai massage afterwards.
Also try:
The Herbal Compress treatment
wherein a warm compress is expertly
pressed and gently dragged across
your body to stimulate energy lines
and deeply relax the muscles.

BEFORE YOU STRIP...
Believe it or not, there is
such a thing as onsen
etiquette.
Bathe before bathing
Most thermal baths are
communal spaces; you
wouldn’t want to immerse
in other people’s bath
water, would you?
Keep it down
It’s considered extremely
rude to other onsen-goers
when you’re rowdy or talk
loudly while inside a
bathhouse.

MONOGATARI
Tokyo
If open-air baths get you giddy, then
this Tokyo hot spring would be a
dream to be in. Situated in the heart of
Japan’s capital city, Ooedo-Onsen
Monogatari offers specially curated

be a man-made pond.

Hold off alcohol
Prolonged exposure to hot
water while intoxicated is
hazardous to your health.
