Back from the future

The extreme social currents that course through Japan have their confluence in Tokyo, a city where the future seems to be "arriving faster" than in the rest of the world, says LuxuryInsider.com. Navigating this alien landscape is made easier "by the warmth of the Japanese," who will go the extra mile to help an "uninitiated foreigner" get a handle on understanding the national psyche. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the spa, where "extreme politeness" blends with "attention to detail" in an essentially Japanese experience. From the whirlpool and facial treatments at the Park Hyatt Tokyo to the Conrad Tokyo hotel's Mizuk Spirit package that takes in a tea ceremony before your bath and massage, Tokyo's spas will "bring you gently back to earth" after the rigours of traversing Japan's ever-evolving capital.
