From the Healing Powers of Lake Biwa to Shikari Well-being Spa, a New Steam Sauna is Waiting for you

In addition to the medicinal herb steam tent that we offer at Shikari Well-being Spa, we would like to introduce to you a new kind of steaming that harnesses the power of hemp!

Marl: the company that provides this new steam sauna, was started in Shiga, home to the vital Lake Biwa (also known as the "Mother Lake" and the "Womb of Japan"). Because of the energy of Lake Biwa, Shiga is a great location for the production of steaming items that are used to nourish your own womb.

From the healing powers of Lake Biwa to Shikari Well-being Spa, a new steam sauna is waiting for the woman wanting to relax, detox, and balance the female organs. Each component of the steam sauna can be trusted, because they are both environmentally friendly and gentle on your body. You can look forward to experiencing a handmade clay pot and chair for sitting, a natural hemp robe to wear over your body, and an herb blend of about 17 organic medicinal compounds. 

• The material used for the pot and chair is 100% high quality yellow clay from a certified Japanese Heritage Site, Shigaraki. The clay is made from soil that has been bathed in sunlight for 1000 years, and contains plenty of iron from microorganisms and organic matter, which have excellent natural purification properties for the female body.

• The robe used while steaming is made out of hemp. Hemp has been said to have a strong power since ancient times, in that it detoxifies the Earth when it grows, and that it also brings special energy to your body while wearing the fabric. This hemp robe is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, and also breathable so that your body does not overheat during the sauna. 

• The herb blend that is used includes hemp, as well as about 16 other medicinal components. Some of these ingredients include mugwort, mint and charcoal. This herb blend has also been infused with the sun’s energy for 3 days before being used in the steam sauna. 

The new steam sauna draws on nature to provide you with a powerful steaming experience that focuses on the delicate area of the female body. We welcome you to try this hemp steam sauna at Shikari Spa. The full course starts with counseling, house-made detox water, a foot bath, an Ayurveda oil head and foot massage, a 40 minute steam sauna, and finishes with herbal tea and a Zero Waste Kyoto snack. 

Because this steam sauna focuses on the female organs, this steam sauna is for women only.
