  • I visited their branch at Clarke Quay Central, #05-22. The first thing I noticed was their wood finishing to simulatethe experience of being in a traditional bathhouse in Japan. Even their decoration and paintings aim to let youforget that you're in Singapore! Except when you do your Facebook or Instagram...

    The branch at Clarke Quay has a communal bath that is not available at their Bukit Timah branch.

    There is only one so their Communal Bath Schedule is:Women : Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun (afternoon) Tue, Thu, Sat (evening)Men: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun (evening) Tue, Thu, Sat (afternoon)

    *Do note their opening hours are rather late! 1-10pm for Clarke Quay and 1.30-10.30pm for Bukit Timah branch.

    They provide cute Yukata at the branch in Clarke Quay but not at Bukit Timah, so if you want to try one of theseyou got to choose the CQ branch.

  • This is their locker and changing room before you enter their communal bath. The lockers are built exactly theway it is like in Japan! You basically take off your yukata here and put them inside the lockers. Bring your lockerkey with you (assuming you locked your precious smartphone inside) and a small towel to cover you modestly asyou enter into the bath. It is optional to wear the underwear they provided but people in Japan usually just dip incompletely naked.

    Because there was another lady inside so I COULDN'T TAKE PHOTOS! Sorry! But here's the comic on what youshould do:

  • After my nice hot bath and massage, I was given green tea and a nice biscuit to munch on while I fill up theirfeedback form. No hard selling for a package!

    I must say... even the toilet's bidet is from Japan!!! (;;)

  • I am a fan of lymphatic massage because it helps to detox the body so a similar one for Ikeda Spa is it'ssignature "Ganbanyoku Detox Massage", which is only available at their Bukit Timah branch.

    It's actually massage on hot volcanic stone bed but the more amazing thing is that it can also help to burn up to1,500 calories because of the sweat!? Ok, I'm sold (@v@)

  • You can choose the kind of hot spring you want to experience when you choose private baths (only at BukitTimah) or couple baths. The bath salt contains the same minerals found on those specific hot spring!

    Each salt has a different function so the therapist will advise you on which to take based on your currentproblems.

  • ..and YES! My own bath! But it was a bit boring to dip inside myself for 30mins... I think a couple bath withanother friend or a communal bath at Clarke Quay was more enjoyable. But nevertheless a hot dip will stimulateblood circulation and very good for people like me who has cold limbs and sit in front of the desk all day.

    ...and viola! This is their rooftop couple bath! So sweet eh~(but if you are still single can invite another girl friend along instead)

    This is the shower area for couples.

    Japanese HotSpring Etiquette

    Massage room for couples!

    ConclusionI was very impressed by their white ion hot spring communal bath at Clarke Quay because I felt as if I wastransported back to Japan and my skin became smoother after the dip. Moreover, hot baths help to stimulateblood circulation and relax your muscles. Their signature massage "Ganbanyoku Detox Massage" was also veryrelaxing and relieved my gastric problem that day. However this is only available at Bukit Timah branch so I hopethat they can bring this to Clarke Quay too so it will be more convenient for me to go down (;;;)

    Hi Eva,

    I am really interested to try this! Is the 20% discount for other treatments still available? :)

    Evangeline Neo March 2, 2015 at 9:21 PM

    Yes, remember to quote "Evacomics" when you call for booking :)Let me know if there's any problem!

    Anonymous March 2, 2015 at 10:21 PM

    Thank you for the quick reply!! :) cant wait to try it out!

    Anonymous March 3, 2015 at 9:49 PM

    Hi Eva, can I confirm that 20% is off all treatments when I quote Evacomics? Because I realised that the couplepackage is not really that worthwhile (if I take an ala carte @ 20% discount, it's cheaper).

    Hi, are you the same person who left the comment yesterday and last month?It is best to give them a call at 6388 8080 because they may change promotion time to time at their blogwithout telling me. But those offer on their blog is still valid.

    Anonymous March 11, 2015 at 10:15 AM

    Yes I am! Thanks Eva, I called Ikada and the main thing was that I wanted to try the detox massage andthey allowed me to change the couple package's massage. So all good, I'm booked for the Evacomicspackage. Thanks soooo much!

    Evangeline Neo March 11, 2015 at 10:30 AM

    That's great! I went there yesterday night (if you saw my FB and Instagram post) and asked them aboutthe 20% off ala carte menu too.Hot bath is awesome ()
