    $25 to use the communal baths. Good way to spend 2-3 hours relaxing. Hot tea, and salt to scrub yourself with in the steam room are nice touches.

    The real reason to hit the Kabuki are their communal baths. You know that scene in Eastern Promises? That's the Kabuki. You're not allowed to talk, and it's a nude scene, so creepers get the boot. Read more

    reasonably priced. whatever u do—massage, treatment, whatever—build in time to enjoy baths—esp the icy plunge. + take the salt w you into the steam sauna. best exfoliation ever. bring flip-flops.

    My favorite experience in SF. Get naked, no phones, no talking; just lounge in the water and collect your thoughts. It’s a rare experience to break away from smartphones and be in the moment. Ahhhhh!

    Even if you just want to do the baths, book an appointment. On busy nights it gets crowded and you have to get on the waitlist.

    Kashla does the best facials! She tried different products on me to find the best combination for my skin. She also wrote down recipes for a homemade exfoliant :) .. And she's super sweet.

    Nirvana package was worth it. Massage, facial and body polish/scrub. Definitely a whole day trip including the communal springs. If I had more time, I would have took another dip into the springs.

    $25 gets you an all day pass to a gorgeous beautiful spa. After 7 hours you're guaranteed to feel better. I try to go 1x month. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts

    Have a lazy, late brunch, and then come to the communal baths to waste the rest of your day away in languid, relaxing bliss. Have sushi for dinner in the Japan Centre.

    Don't forget to bring your own (clean) flip flops if you don't want to make the dreaded barefoot trekk to the bathroom!

    pretty disappointed at the young male caller who picked up the phone. didn't seem at all friendly or helpful. apparently didn't have the sense to want my business given how hyped this place already is
