Kabuki Springs & Spa

Very clean and nice spa! I like it that they give you a "how to" sequence on their website so that you could maximize the spa benefits. Now all they need to do is replace the 80s gym style keys on what used to be an elastic band with a modern waterproof digital key that stays snug on your wrist, like almost all other places have.

OMG amazing my second time in the Kabuki Springs and Spa. Had a few challenges and this was the perfect time spent a few hours made a huge difference, silence, self care and the staff totally amazing and kind. Thank you so much for all you folks do or our communities and visitors.

The communal baths were a marvelous experience from beginning to end. The staff at the front desk was helpful and thorough with explaining the locations, materials, and process. It was oh so lovely to move from wet warm to cold wet to dry hot to steamy hot to ambient temperature. Rinse and repeat. The cold washcloths & ice water were appreciated. I’ve never felt so relaxed AND alert from a bathing experience before. I am still feeling the pleasant effects of the bathing after a night of rest. Highly recommended.

Well worth the price! Excellent customer service, small but very chill. Has all the basic amenities, but nothing splashy so bring all your own toiletries for after. They have 4 different sizes of flipflop to choose from if you don't bring your own. Tea and water are available in the main spa room so you can stay hydrated. I would definitely come here again!

Possibly the best bathhouse in the Bay Area. Kabuki Springs is tucked away off a busy street in Japantown and feels like a portal to another dimension, one full of warm water, a quiet atmosphere, and plenty of lemon ginger tea. I was instantly drawn to how intentional everything feels here, from the dark wood of the sauna to the sleek tile in the showers. It feels carefully crafted to be both modern and timeless, with the Japanese motif flowing through all of the design. Personally, I love the dim lighting in the baths; with no windows, it feels like time is suspended. Is it midday, or midnight? Sunny, stormy? Early, late? You can’t really tell when you’re there, and that feels like the point. It’s an escape in its truest, most relaxing sense. Attendants are constant in the baths, which makes it feel far more luxurious than what the price would suggest. Cucumber, lemon, or plain water are all on tap, as are iced hand towels, salt scrubs for the steam room, and hot lemon ginger tea. I loved how cups are encouraged to be reused (I hate seeing the giant pile of single-use cups in the trash at other spas). I’m holding out hope, however, that traditional green tea may make an appearance in the future! I’d recommend attending on one of the single-gender days, as I found that lent itself best to the fully immersive experience. Shower sandals are available, though I found them a bit uncomfortable. Next time I’ll be sure to bring my own. As a bathhouse enthusiast, I cannot recommend this place enough. I can’t wait to bring my friends here to learn for themselves just how relaxing and rejuvenating the sauna, seam, soak, and plunge rotation can be.
