Editorial Review for Kabuki Springs & Spa – by Erin Cullerton

The Scene
If imagining cool cucumber soothing your eyes while a masseuse works out the kinks in your neck sends you into a dream-like state, Kabuki Springs can make your fantasies come true. This Japantown oasis boasts more than 18 treatment rooms, a hot pool, a wet and dry sauna and an endless array of Zen-inducing services. Only women are admitted on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays are reserved for guys. Tuesday is the only coed day (bathing suits are mandatory).

The Services
Admission to the beautiful bathhouse is a steal. Arrive before 5pm and the cost is even less. If you add a massage to your to-do list, the bathhouse fee increases only slightly. Massages, facials and body wraps alone, however, aren't dirt-cheap; you'll pay considerably more for these services.

The Details
Soaking tub, wet and dry sauna, steam room. Massage, facials, body treatments.

So hard to find a perfect spa, and this is not it. BUT, it is my favorite spa in San Francisco. There are other places for regular massages or even accupuncture (although its pretty good here too). My love for Kabuki is in the Abhyanga Massage with Shirodhara Treatment where the healing massage is complimented by an ending of warm oil(scented to your personal doshi) being poured in a constant stream over your third eye. I believe the word is Heavenly. This treatment will cost quite a bit more anywhere else and it is not because the treatment here is inferior in anyway! The rooms are not sound proof so go when its least likely to be crowded (also make a special request when making your reservation). Same for the communal baths and I recommend going on a non-co-ed day. Make vocal request for what you want and then relax. Sip your cucumber water and breath. One may rarely hear other people but you do not hear street noise. It's a great place to hide away, where you can forget your in a city.

Pros: incomparable value, Abhyanga Massage w/Shirodhara Treatment, convenient validated parking, baths off-hours

Cons: rarely voices in halls, baths at peak times

Great place to go for a relaxing and rejeuvenating treat. Good bargain, entry to the communal baths is free is you get a massage. Watch out, don't be too loud in the communal bath area or else you'll will get gonged! I like this place because it's a good value if you just want to get entry into the baths and stay for a couple hours. Sometimes there is a wait to get into the communal baths, if you make an appointment for a massage, however, there is no wait.

Pros: clean, relaxing

Cons: can be crowded at time

Editor's Review

At this Japantown sanctuary, nirvana is attained for less than the cost of a good sushi dinner.  See the full editorial review.
