Best Spa in San Francisco

What People Are Saying

“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…”

“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…”

“A little gem in the heart of SF! I absolutely loved everything about my experience. As a seasonal traveler, I always book a sauna visit in cities I go to. Growing up in Europe (where spas are fully nude as it is so gross to bathe and sweat in synthetic bathing suits), I am glad we can still find places like this in the US. I love Swedish saunas, Fr…”

“This is definitely more a fusion of Western and Korean because of the emphasis on spa service. Unlike LA Korean spa, SF Korea spas limit your time (2 hours). I would say it’s not a very traditional Korean spa based on the limited room options and time limit but the cleanliness and quality of toiletries is what I appreciate. The owner shared with my…”

“This is the best spa I have ever tried.

The spa area is amazing — they have a jacuzzi, a cold plunge, a dry sauna, and a steam sauna. There is also a clay room and a salt room, which makes the experience feel very special and unique.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They guide you everywhere and explain everything. They even have D…”

“Incredible massage – one of the best I’ve ever had! So relaxing and truly helped work out so many of the knots and so much tension that I hold in my shoulders and back. I felt like it was the perfect combination of relaxation and progress in working out muscle knots. Could not recommend Joana enough, I will definitely be back!”

“I’m so happy I found this place. I got a Thai deep tissue massage with Otter and it was one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. He was very attentive, listened to my concerns and truly helped release tension.

From the moment you walk in, it feels welcoming: there’s a cozy lounge area, they offer tea while you wait, and the whole space is…”

The aesthetician, Sarah was truly amazing because she was so thorough and informative with the current skin products on the market. She explained why certain serums, cleansers, moisturizers and retinol are essential for healthy skin. She performed magic on…”

“Tulaxu is hands down the best masseuse! I’ve been going every month since earlier this year, and my body consistently felt much lighter after. No food a couple hours before the massage is highly recommended otherwise you’d feel bloated

Loved taking 1-2 hours before the massage sesh to wind down and enjoy their relaxation lounge. The place is absol…”

“In desperate need for a chill date, my partner and I decided to book a hot tub and sauna room here at Watercourse Way. Though it would’ve been much easier to just book the room online, calling over the phone wasn’t too bad and they do have a lot to explain as well. Anyways, from the start of the experience it is great. They offered us tea or water …”

“Love the vibes of this place. Whoever designed this place got the aesthetics just right. The hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna in the private room were all the perfect temperatures, respectively. The service was also amazing. After my boyfriend and I left and got in the car, I realized that I had lost my gold chain, because I left it on (like a dumba…”

My only complaint is that the time listed for the meditative mood soak is 1 hour 45 min, but my actual service lasted 80 min. The service was 20% off ( weekday special) so o…”

“I went for the firm + renew facial. The ambiance was very relaxing, and the massage portion of the facial felt great. It was advertised on their website as a facial to “restore firmness and repair fine lines, leaving you with a plumped, hydrated, and radiant appearance.” I honestly do not notice a different at all, and the silver foil mask felt lik…”
