You’ll find an otherworldly place at Mizuki Spa at Conrad Tokyo, the largest such facility in the city. Taking up the entire 29th floor of the Conrad Tokyo hotel, the 15,000-plus-square-foot spa takes on a lunar theme. Mizuki, which translates to “water” and “moon,” has a circular design, with the coed relaxation room hidden in the center and the 10 treatment rooms off of the circle.
As you enter the spa, you’ll walk on a clear blue carpet that looks like a full moon reflected on the water. But the rest of Mizuki isn’t what you would expect from a moon-inspired retreat. Instead of cold, gray décor, warm woods and stone adorn the treatment rooms for a decidedly Japanese aesthetic. And the view of the neighboring skyscrapers from each room is a reminder that you haven’t left the stratosphere just yet.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Our favorite way to bathe at the Tokyo spa is in the Mizuki Room. Designed for couples, the Mizuki Room has side-by-side massage tables and a hinoki cypress tub that can accommodate two.
- To make the bathing experience even cozier, your aesthetician will leave some steaming-hot green tea on the built-in wood platform right next to the tub.
- We recommend ending your spa trip with a nap on the chaise lounge in the dimly lit, wood-filled coed relaxation room.
Things to Know
- Become a spa member and obtain unlimited access to the pool, gym and locker rooms.
- The gym is open 24 hours a day for hotel guests, but spa visitors are limited to hours between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- If you need to prep for a night on the town, get a manicure or pedicure (the Executive Hands and Feet mani-pedi combo is a man-friendly option).
The Treatments
- Facials aren’t known for being calming, but the 80-minute Action Sublime also includes a face, neck, shoulder and arm massage on top of anti-aging treatments.
- The 80-minute Hydramemory includes a hot-stone facial massage and moisturizes skin that’s parched from flying.
- If you just made the taxing transatlantic flight into the city, also try the Revitalize massage to banish jet lag (choose between 60 and 90 minutes).
- The 90-minute Hot Stone Ritual will make your stress fade away with the assistance of some smooth, heated basalt rocks and essential oils.
- For a calming service, the 90-minute Tranquility Ritual will help you unwind with a full-body hydrating treatment and an aromatherapy facial massage.
The Facilities
- Public bathing is a part of Japanese culture, but if you aren’t ready to partake in the communal ritual in onsens (Japanese hot springs), Mizuki offers great urban alternatives.
- In the wet area, instead of one big whirlpool, you’ll see a Jacuzzi with personalized pods that allow you to have a relaxing solitary soak.
- The bathtub in the Mizuki Room sits right in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can soak while admiring the surrounding cityscape.
- For more pampering, head to one of wet or dry saunas. For a more energizing activity, go swimming in the 82-foot-long lap pool.
- Get a workout on the Technogym equipment or take a class in Pilates, yoga, power circuit, body conditioning or dance in the aerobics room.
