The authentic Japanese Onsen is here in Singapore.
Now we can enjoy a holistic retreat from the hectic nature of urban life right in the heart of the city.
Introducing the No.1 Onsen in South East Asia, Yunomori Onsen & Spa, the first authentic onsen in Singapore.
Yunomori Onsen & Spa is located at Kallang Wave Mall, just follow the signage and you will be able to find your way to the spa.
Here I was, arriving at Yunomori Onsen & Spa. The ambiance was totally zen, a modern yet authentic structure that made us immediately feel soothing and calm.
Before we stepped into the Yunomori, we have to remove our shoes and placed them in the lockers right beside the waiting area.
Let's have a tour around Yunomori Onsen & Spa.
The patthway led us to the first stop - spa.
The spa corner is split into 2 sections, the men and women section. A path of retreat is paved through connection with various forms of onsen pools, including hot and cold baths, sauna, steams and showers.
A small towel will be provided for you to bring it to onsen pools, sauna and steam.
Disposable underwear is also provided but optional for you to wear it.
You can enter the pool naked if you want to. In Japan, people went in to the onsen pool naked. In Singapore, we are still a conservative country. Hence, disposable underwear is provided but those who feel uncomfortable to be naked with the presence of others.
The staff demonstrated to us the correct way of wearing Yukata. The end product should be left over right.
Wore this before heading to onsen pools.
This lockers were for us to store our belongings and hang our clothes.
Another thing, we are not allowed to bring any camera or mobile phone to the bath and osen pools. This is because people can go in naked to the pools, so not nice to have photos taken inside when there are people using the facilities. To protect the privacy, no photo are allowed to be taken.
A section for dressing.
The dressing table was provided for us to dry up our hair or apply makeup after enjoying the pampering session. So thoughtful, hair dryer, body lotion, big and small mirror was provided.
Here is the section where we shower before entering the osen pool.
Shower gel and shampoo are provided at the side of each cubicle.
We were awed by the sight of the different onsen baths available, we felt like jumping into the pool right away. There is a total of 6 different baths available at Yunomori Onsen & Spa. Each bath provides a relaxing and therapeutic experience as well as its own set of benefits.
