Guests can choose from a beautiful spa treatment menu which makes use of its oriental heritage, created from years of tradition and healing rituals for a truly holistic experience.
The 90-minute Path to the Wondrous Garden is light and relaxing, like a leisurely stroll through a garden. Starting with HARNN’s signature Jasmine scrub and followed by the Siamese Aromatic Massage, this treatment is a combination of traditional Thai and aromatherapy massage. Bespoke tea blends are served after the treatment.
Path to the Enchanted Forest is a 120-minute treatment, using HARNN’s Tropical Wood collection. This journey starts with a fine body scrub to cleanse and detoxify the skin, followed by a deep tissue massage to de-stress tense muscles and joints, releasing deep seated tension. A special leg therapy technique concludes the experience.
The 60-minute Hakone Hot Oil Acupressure Massage is a tailor-made treatment specifically made for Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora. The highlight of this full body massage is the use of Hakone Sensation essential oil comprised of sakura (anti-aging), wan sao long (for a restful sleep) and yuzu (revitalizing) together with the HARNN de-stress massager along the body’s energy channels.
ONSEN BLISS
Soak in the Onsen and allow its healing properties to soothe and relax you. The region’s hot spring waters are very well known to make your skin smooth, relieve stress and help treat ailment. At Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora you can take your onsen experience to the next level with its digital wall and experience its mesmerizing digital art show, which was inspired by the nature of Gora, including its water, fire, and rocks, while soaking in the jet bath, sitting on the bench sofa, or sinking your feet into the onsen foot bath and let this unique entertainment experience fire up your imagination while you relax your body. And it’s all accompanied by suitably soothing background music. These digital art shows are new each season, depicting, for example, the stones of the Haya River changing from green to red to mimic the autumn leaves, or, in the winter version, the flowing river turning to ice then to powdered snow.
