Bathing in America

Here in America, we have yet to develop our own tradition of communal bathing. Unlike Scandinavians or the Japanese, we have yet to create a distinct style of cleansing and detoxification. But, we still enjoy the practice and because San Francisco is full of cultural influences from all over the word, you can find just about anything you desire. Kabuki Springs and Spa is a wonderful oasis in the city. Located in Japan town, the folks at Kabuki can transport you to a rural Japanese Onsen, or a Swedish Massage table in a matter of minutes. The Kabuki Springs and Spa center offers not only special treatments including massages, wraps, or facials, there are also relatively affordable communal baths. On Monday, Thursdays and Saturdays the baths are reserved for men. On Wednesday, Friday and Sunday the baths are for females only. However, if you are travelling with someone of the opposite sex, you will be happy to know that Tuesdays are co-ed. For just $20 bucks you can sit in the hot tub, dip into the cold plunge, exfoliate in the shower stalls, lounge in the steam room or sauna for as long as you please. The facilities are clean, the staff friendly, and the atmosphere extremely relaxing. Take a break from your busy vacation and lounge with locals in Japan town. A true San Francisco treat!
