Kyoto in Lisbon

Dynamic energy meets peaceful Zen as Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon hosts visiting Japanese healer, Miyuki Yasuda, from Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto for 6 weeks this summer.

This tale of two cities meets in the Ritz Spa with perfect balance with guests and locals alike invited to discover Japan’s meditative empire via three signature treatments that feature iconic ingredients and traditions: green tea, bamboo, and ancient healing techniques.

Inspired by the Heian Period of ‘Peace and Tranquillity’, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto embodies the Japanese aesthetic principle of Enso: connecting the body and mind through the Enso Circle motion.  Fresh from the Spa’s 800-year-old ikeniwa (pond garden) surrounds, Kyoto-born Spa Specialist, Miyuki Yasdua – whose name means ‘beautiful snow’ – brings a rare purity to her craft.  By connecting to each guest’s energy and feelings through subtle cues, she gleans how best to help them.  A custodian of Japanese healing, she uplifts clients both physically and emotionally through treatments that draw on the country’s ancient healing traditions and therapeutic ingredients.
