YAKUTOTORYU
SPRING DAY SPA

Immerse into Aroma

The tradition and essence of the medicine town, Toyama, lives on.
Great care was taken to install a space with the fragrance of Japanese essential oils
extracted from the forest where Tateyama’s rich mountain water runs through.
Garaku’s spa treatment starts with “The Sound of Orin”
and gives a deep peace that enfolds the five senses.

Equipment of
YAKUTOTORYU SPRING DAY SPA

AROMA SELECT（Kamiichi town）

Toyama, renowned for its exquisite natural water, extracts essential oils from forest resources supplied by the rich water of Mt. Tateyama. In cooperation with the local forest association, while promoting the use of domestic and prefecture -produced timber and working on the preservation of the forest environment, we produce Japanese essential oils in a sustainable system. We produce the deep fragrances of nature such as Tateyamasugi(Tateyama Ceder) which is the prefectural tree of Toyama, or Kuromoji(Spicebush) etc.

HERBAL8 (Toyama city)

In May 2021, HERBAL8, Inc. founded in Toyama City, Japan. We propose natural fragrance, organize events, and develop products. And we grow fragrant plants such as Shiso (Perilla frutescens) grown in Toyama Prefecture.

Kyujo Orin <Yamaguchi Kyujo Co., Ltd.>
(Takaoka city)

Founded in 1890 in the town of Takaoka, where copperware is a traditional craft, the sound of Kyujo Orin quietly wraps up people's hearts. The sounds have “1f/fluctuation” that induce alpha brain waves, generating a feeling of comfort. Analysis by Japan Acoustic Lab has shown that there is a healing effect in this special sound.

Johana Silk <Matsui silk weaving Co., Ltd>
(Nanto city)

Matsui silk weaving Co., Ltd., was founded in 1877. Silk fibers are made of amino acids similar in composition to that of human skin. It is said that, of all fibers known to man, silk causes the least amount of stress on the skin. Silk contains those necessary ingredients that make it so luxuriously gentle on human skin, and like the silkworms ability to be reborn in its cocoon, we hope that human beings can be restored to their natural power.

Small glass bottles <Toyama Glass Studio>
(Toyama city)

Toyama glass, once popular, originated from the pharmaceutical bottling manufacture industry. The glass artists living in Toyama produce each artwork with true heart.

Onsen/Hot spring
Hot spring qualities : sodium chloride spring

Immerse into the natural hot spring waters that gush forth from the land of Kasuga while gazing upon the water and surrounding greenery of the Jinzu Gorge. High levels of a warm moisturizing effect inhibits cooling of the body after a hot bath. The private outdoor bath before the treatment promotes blood circulation and maximizes the benefits of the essential oils.

GAKANRAKU

Garaku’s original deep massage treatment uses emotion and symptom specific herbal
essence oils to directly and precisely target muscles. This treatment
enhances natural healing
by creating peace between the three elements of Ki (energy moving through the body),
Chi (blood fluid work, nutrient elements) and Mizu (body fluids other than blood).
