Sudachi Aromatherapy Day Spa

Sudachi Aromatherapy Day Spa is a small treatment-based spa in Kamiyama-cho, a mountain town in Myozai-gun, Tokushima, known nationally for cultivating sudachi, the small green citrus fruit that gives the region its culinary identity. The spa builds its treatment menu around that local citrus, pressing sudachi peel and fruit into house-blended essential oils used in its signature aromatherapy massage, a full-body treatment aimed at relieving tension while filling the treatment room with the fruit's sharp citrus scent. Alongside the massage, the spa offers a sudachi-infused facial treatment using the fruit's vitamin C content for a brightening effect, and a foot soak finished with fresh sudachi peel floated in the water, a lighter option for visitors short on time. Unlike Tokushima's onsen bathhouses, this is a Western-style day spa built around private treatment rooms rather than communal bathing, and it operates by appointment: visitors choose from the treatment menu and book a slot rather than walking in to soak. The spa is positioned as a showcase for Kamiyama's citrus agriculture as much as a wellness stop, drawing visitors who come to the town for its satoyama countryside scenery and its reputation as a rural tech and creative hub. Treatment rooms are simple and quiet, scaled to a small mountain-town business rather than a resort spa, and the therapists are locally trained rather than affiliated with a national spa chain. The spa closes on Tuesdays.
