A special scent developed exclusively for Gokurakuyu and RAKU SPA, providing a refreshing experience.
The blended essential oils used in the "Sauna Event to Refresh Your Nose and Body" were specially blended for Gokurakuyu and RAKU SPA by "KaleidoPath Co., Ltd.," which has a network of nearly 100 fragrance experts. Through repeated trials and experiments, focusing on how the scent spreads in the space and its quality, we have achieved a blend of natural essential oils that perfectly matches the image of Gokurakuyu and RAKU SPA as a "familiar space loved by everyone," and seems to blow away the hazy feelings often experienced in spring. We also received various advice on scents and experiences from Mr. Hashimoto, who has worked on numerous sauna-related projects.
