1 Hotel Tokyo, the sustainable luxury hotel that opened in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo in March 2026 under General Manager Masahito Kominami, has created a new lineup of original treatments for its 38th-floor bamford WELLNESS SPA, developed with products from Kyoto organic skincare brand KOTOSHINA. The treatments join the spa's year-round menu starting September 23, 2026 (Wednesday).
Bringing Kyoto Craftsmanship to the City
1 Hotels builds each property around a deep connection to its local nature, culture, and community, actively working with brands and products rooted in the region. At 1 Hotel Tokyo, "local" extends beyond the city itself to the materials, knowledge, and aesthetics passed down across Japan. With that in mind, the hotel chose KOTOSHINA as its latest partner, drawn to the brand's craftsmanship rooted in Japan's natural resources and its sustainable approach.
The new treatments combine KOTOSHINA's products with techniques inspired by Japan's traditional wellness philosophy and facial methods, expressing a distinctly Japanese sense of beauty. On the spa's 38th floor overlooking the city, guests can feel a connection to nature even while in the heart of Tokyo, in a setting designed to gently settle the mind and body.
The Three Original Treatments
The new "KOTOSHINA Ritual" lineup includes the "KOTOSHINA Lifting Facial," the "KOTOSHINA Body Flow," and "Japanese Harmony," which combines facial and body treatments. All three join the spa's year-round menu starting September 23, 2026 (Wednesday), built around KOTOSHINA's gentle scent and pleasant texture, with delicate, rhythmic techniques meant to slowly ease both mind and body.
KOTOSHINA Lifting Facial — 60 minutes, ¥33,000 (tax and service charge included)
A facial treatment combining KOTOSHINA's organic skincare with techniques inspired by Japanese facial methods. Delicate, rhythmic hand movements carefully care for the face while refining the look of the jawline, leaving skin with a lively expression and a healthy, natural glow. The treatment also includes careful work on the neck, shoulders, and scalp for a deeply relaxing experience.
KOTOSHINA Body Flow — 60 minutes ¥31,000 / 90 minutes ¥41,000 (tax and service charge included)
A body treatment that blends techniques inspired by traditional Japanese wellness philosophy with KOTOSHINA's body care. The session begins with slow, steady breathing amid the gentle scent of KOTOSHINA's green tea, followed by rhythmic pressure and flowing hand movements applied carefully across the whole body for deep relaxation. It finishes with a whole-body treatment using green tea body butter, closing with a gentle scent and a comfortable sense of ease.
Japanese Harmony — 90 minutes ¥43,000 / 120 minutes ¥57,000 (tax and service charge included)
A full-body treatment combining face and body care, inspired by traditional Japanese wellness philosophy. It opens with a soothing foot ritual before moving into the "KOTOSHINA Body Flow," which pairs rhythmic pressure and flowing techniques with KOTOSHINA's body care, working carefully across the whole body for deep relaxation.
About KOTOSHINA
KOTOSHINA is an organic skincare brand from Kyoto, Japan. It launched in 2012 through a partnership between an organic green tea farm in Uji, Kyoto and an organic cosmetics manufacturer in France, a country at the forefront of organic beauty.
Every KOTOSHINA product contains organic green tea sourced from the brand's partner farm in Uji, a region long known for high-quality green tea. Many products also contain natural hot spring water from Gamarde in France, said to have strong natural healing properties. The brand was born from this meeting of fine materials from Japan and France.
