For nearly 30 years, Yasuragi has been a sanctuary where people come to escape the demands of daily life and restore their energy. From the beginning, tranquility, beauty, and balance have been its guiding principles. Today, Yasuragi offers a delightful contrast between tranquility and vibrancy.
At the heart of Yasuragi is the Japanese bath, the foundation since its opening in 1997. Starting with the Japanese cleansing ritual and a small outdoor hot spring, the concept and environment have evolved continuously over the years.
In 2017, Yasuragi underwent its largest transformation yet, rebuilding the Japanese bath to create an entirely new bathhouse. The goal was to draw closer to the essence of Japanese bathhouse culture while embracing the Nordic forest and archipelago setting surrounding Yasuragi. The result is a space where guests can truly breathe, let go, and reconnect.
Design Rooted in Japanese TraditionThe redesign was entrusted to DAP Architects, who, after a study trip to Japan, brought back a mission to craft a space that evokes longing. Every detail in the materials, architecture, and service was designed to embody the spirit of Yasuragi—what can be described as the deep exhale of the soul when immersed in a soothing hot spring.
The Japanese bath remains the heart of Yasuragi. Every visit begins with an introduction to the cleansing ritual, encouraging guests to prepare for their journey. Following the ritual, guests can enjoy hot springs within the cleansing room or explore features like the aromatherapy steam sauna.
Stepping outside the cleansing area reveals a space inspired by Japanese courtyards. This includes a warm central bath surrounded by facilities like a cold plunge, carbonated bath, and salt steam sauna. Guests can also enjoy a panoramic sanarium overlooking the pines, a Japanese-style footbath, and unique spaces like the silent “Bergrumsbadet,” where you can lie in shallow pools illuminated by softly lit rock walls.
The design marries Japanese influences with the raw beauty of Nordic nature. Concrete, wood, and greenery create an environment that feels intimate yet spacious, with tranquil spots for everyone. Natural light streams through glass walls and ceilings, inviting the surrounding landscape to enhance the ambiance.
More Than a Spa
Yasuragi is more than just a spa hotel in Stockholm. It’s a destination that celebrates the Japanese bathhouse culture. With Japanese-inspired cuisine served in its restaurants, activities included in every stay, and tranquil rooms overlooking Stockholm’s archipelago, Yasuragi offers a complete experience. Guests pass through torii 鳥居—traditional Japanese gates—into a space designed to rejuvenate both body and soul.
Welcome to Yasuragi, where your life energy is restored, and newfound strength allows you to embrace the joys of everyday life with renewed vitality.
Warm regards,
Yasuragi
