Escape the concrete jungle with a foray into the sweet-scented YU spa at the Four Seasons Chinzan-so hotel. A raft of treatments are inspired by the gardens – seven serene hectares of manicured trees, bridges, lanterns, shrines and fireflies.

Spacious spa suites with private gardens and plunge pools provide a calming setting for a range of Japanese nature-inspired treatments: from green tea and black sesame exfoliation to wasabi skin polishes and rice and salt soaks.

Faces are taken care of with top quality anti-ageing Elemis treatments while a spa menu also provides an array of health and calm-inducing teas, juices, salads and lunches.
