Ten Thousand Waves

Amenities

Completely self-contained bathing environment
Two giant ceramic teacups in a Japanese garden, the first of their kind in North America. These are soaking tubs with no jets, similar to the baths in Japan. (104-106 degrees F.)
Exquisite tile wet/dry gas-fired sauna (170-190 degrees F.)
Changing area with private showers for either Japanese-style seated bathing, or American-style standing. Try it sitting down! The process of getting clean becomes a relaxing part of the hot water ritual.
Granite vanity with mirrors, a hair dryer, and wicker baskets for your clothes
A separate building for the cooling berth in the garden next to the baths
An amazing Japanese toilet that does almost everything for you, except help you get dressed! Automatic lid(s), heated seat, warm water wash with pulse and oscillate feature, bidet, and your choice of big flush or little flush.

Rates

$49 per person (90-minutes)

In our quest to continually outdo ourselves, we have created a brand new indoor/outdoor bathing environment that is the closest you can possibly get to an authentic Japanese bathing experience in the US. Everything is there for you, including hand-thrown ceramic baths and sink, shower valves and stools, and the ultimate toilet--all imported from Japan. Warning--your shower is part of the bathing ritual, and there are no jets in the soaking tubs.

'I met and married a Japanese man and it has become a special place for us. I can't wait to try the new Ichiban. It reminds me of the traditional baths I experienced in Japan. Nice addition! '
