Woke up to the sun shining and a pretty warm day in Tokyo - decided to give exercise a miss for today and treat myself since it is Christmas afterall.
Headed of to Spa Le Qua at the Tokyo Dome in Sudobashi for a Japanese Spa Day as a christmas treat to myself and It was amazing!
The Spa area had open-air hot baths and indoors plunge baths which are fed water from the natural hot springs from underneath the Tokyo Dome and many Sauna's and Steam Rooms. It is very different from back home as they have one area for female and one area for male as you are not allowed any clothing inside the Spa area. It was at first a little strange but after a short while you realise the Japanese are used to it being this way and you then start to relax and just enjoy the experience.
After the Spa area I headed up to the Healing Baden where both male and females can now mix together. There are many low temperature saunas and relaxation areas where you can just chill out, sleep or read a book. There was also a drinks area where I had a delicious mango fresh fruit drink which was delicious.
Unfortunately there are no photos as no cameras are allowed (for obvious reasons). Here is a link if you want to see what it looks like: www.laqua.jp/
Then I headed off for a beer and some dinner before heading back to Nippori to relax and prepare for the hard training week ahead.
