A Tokyo district like no other, Azabudai Hills is a world apart from its neighbours, Roppongi and Toranomon. Proposing a radical new design language for the city, its multi-layered landscape is characterised by seams of greenery that wrap around pedestrian walkways, rooftops and curving courtyards.
Azabudai Hill’s sole hotel, Janu Tokyo, thrives within its unique neighbourhood, nurturing a community rooted in nature and wellbeing.

Where mind and body align, Janu Tokyo’s holistic wellness space is a temple to the joy of movement. Stretching across 4,000 sqm, it features one of the largest gyms in Tokyo, an elegant 25m pool with magnificent views and soothing spa houses.
The first of their kind in Tokyo, each Spa House comprises a double treatment room, a living space with a daybed, an outdoor terrace, a cold plunge pool, a hot bath, and either a banya, a wood-clad sauna, or a hammam, a steam room with marble walls and a heated marble treatment table.
Guided by expert spa therapists, the Banya Spa House Experience begins with relaxation in the sauna, before the skin is deeply cleansed with venik (brooms made from eucalyptus, birch or oak leaves). A hot and cold therapy experience, an ice shower follows to boost circulation, support the immune system and improve overall joint and muscle elasticity. The four-hour experience continues with a full body scrub and massage. To complete the wellness journey, hydrotherapy facilities reinvigorate the senses and impart a natural glow to the skin. Herbal tea and healthy refreshments follow to provide nourishment.
The Hammam Spa House Experience begins in the marble-clad sauna, complete with heated marble treatment table. A gentle steam encourages the pores to open, after which Janu’s spa therapists apply a full body polish to exfoliate and cleanse the skin, followed by a nourishing body mask. The four-hour experience continues with a full-body massage. Completely relaxed and regenerated, a hot and cold hydrotherapy circuit follows, alleviating stress and relieving sore muscles before concluding in the lounge with herbal tea and a range of nourishing refreshments.
This healing massage uses a heated salt crystal and Adzuki red bean poultice to soothe stress, enhance wellbeing, improve sleep and detoxify. Balancing the central nervous system, the body is left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
The Body Conditioning Treatment offers a tailored approach to specific physical conditions, combining acupuncture, Shiatsu and myofascial release. Through the combination of various treatment modalities, overall performance is enhanced.
