So it might sound like a bold move to find out that a hot spring without any water or bathing facility is being installed an Ginza Square's Fancl. But that's just what's happening, as "Travel Square Yu" will open up for a limited time, allowing guests to experience a fully clothed onsen experience without getting in a bath.
Appearing on the 10th floor FANCL Sky Garden between January 15th and February 11th, the waterless hot spring seeks to recreate the relaxing atmosphere of an onsen via a "air hot springs". The facility is designed to look like a traditional bathhouse, but uses air quality, scents, as well as projects views of Japan to give guests an
outdoor onsen experience that won't leave them wrinkly.
