Spa Montagne
Hotel de Yama, Hakone - JAPAN
Spa Montagne is a “mountain hotel” spa overlooking the nature of the mountains of Hakone and the surrounding Lake Ashi. In Hakone, crustal movements (waves of the mountains) led to a land surrounded by plants rich in nature, with the trees that collapsed along with the earth and sand of the mountains due to the waves of water sleeping on the ground + the waves of fire. Trees that receive the energy of the earth slowly stack annual rings and gently blow into the flowers (the vibration of the wind). Hakone, which is full of vibrations from plants, is covered with clear air and brings the vibrations of the wind. When the five waves from this nature and the waves that we humans have are in harmony, we are led to true relaxation with the message of Body, Mind and Spirit from the hands of the therapist.
