    Osaka

    Food, Culture & City Lights

    As a culinary capital and the beating heart of the Kansai region, Osaka balances boldness with warmth. A city that invites you to soak in its spirited charm — from centuries-old castles and lantern-lit alleyways to sizzling street food and sky-high neon, every corner reveals a new kind of energy. Wander through Kuromon Market, dip into Shinsekai’s retro bathhouses, or while away an afternoon at the ultra modern and aptly named Spa World. Whether you're craving culinary discovery, architectural contrasts, or deep, steamy stillness — Osaka gives you space to follow your senses.

    Kinosaki Onsen

    Soak Your Stress Away

    In Kinosaki, the streets are quiet but the waters speak — seven public bathhouses, each with its own charm, welcome you to an unhurried rhythm. Here you will slip into your yukata and step into a town built entirely around the art of bathing. Wander from one hot spring fed bath house to the next in your yukata and geta sandals, soaking as the locals do. Bathe in all seven and you’ll earn a small token of good fortune: a lucky rice paddle, gifted to mark your dedication to relaxation. Between soaks, enjoy riverside walks, willow-lined canals, and fresh Tajima beef or seasonal crab. Here, the healing isn’t just in the water — it’s in the way time slows down.

    Kyoto

    Zen Moments & Ancient Streets

    There’s no place like Kyoto. Japan’s cultural heart unfolds in layers — through temple gardens brushed with moss, the stillness of early morning shrines, and the quiet poetry of tea steam rising in a machiya townhouse. Meander through Gion’s preserved lanes where geiko still glide between appointments, or rise early to walk beneath the vermilion torii tunnels of Fushimi Inari Shrine as they wind into the hillside. Take the train to Kurama and hike over to hot-spring-rich Kibune, soaking in cedar-scented waters surrounded by forest. In Kyoto, beauty isn’t announced — it’s revealed, softly, to those who slow down and tune in.

    Days 1–2

    Santiago de Compostela

    Sacred Stones & Spa Serenity

    Arrive in the spiritual heart of Galicia, where pilgrims end their journey — and yours begins. Wander the storied alleys of Santiago’s Old Town and stand beneath the soaring spires of its famous cathedral. Then, ease into the Galician rhythm with a soak at a hidden gem: the serene spa of A Quinta da Auga. Between sacred relics and steam-filled stillness, you'll discover the art of restoration — body, mind, and spirit..

    Day 3

    Ribeira Sacra

    Canyons, Cellars & Thermal Calm

    Journey into the Ribeira Sacra, where ancient vineyards cling to steep canyon walls and rivers carve deep into the land. Start your day with a rejuvenating soak at Augas Santas, then drift along the Sil River by catamaran, the cliffs rising like cathedral walls around you. End with Mencía and Godello tastings at a local winery — the warmth of the springs lingering as the wine meets your lips. Return to Santiago in a state of bliss.

    Days 4–6

    Ourense

    Thermal Trails & Timeless Towns

    Welcome to Galicia’s thermal capital, where bubbling springs flow through Roman ruins and riverside pools. Base yourself in Ourense for three days of unhurried discovery: bathe under the stars at the Pozas de Outariz, wander the Old Town’s stone arcades, and soak in tradition at Chavasqueira’s Japanese-style baths. From here, day trips unfold like chapters — stroll Lugo’s UNESCO-listed Roman Walls before melting into its historic spa, or follow the scent of eucalyptus to Caldas de Reis for a barefoot wander and a natural foot soak. In nearby Mondariz Balneario, indulge in the grandeur of Belle Époque spa culture with a full-day hydrotherapy retreat. Here, the water doesn’t just heal — it elevates.

    Days 7

    Santiago de Compostela

    A Gentle Goodbye

    Return to where your journey began, pausing to pick up handcrafted ceramics or a final bottle of Ribeiro wine. The cathedral bells chime once more as you bid farewell to Galicia — lighter, looser, and entirely refreshed.
