Yasuragi Stockholm

A peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy week? Yasuragi in Stockholm, Sweden is an amazing getaway for some quiet, peaceful, screenfree time to just relax.

"Disconnect and relax" signs are seen in the spa area which is a mobile phone free zone.

Stay at the spa for a few hours or overnight. You can even choose from a Japanese style room to a regular hotel room or, for those who really want to disconnect, there's even a TV free hotel room.

According to the hotel's description, "Yasuragi" is the sound one makes when they step into the Japanese hot springs and exhale. 

After traditional Japanese bathing to clean ones self before heading to the baths, it is recommended to start with a foot bath to warm up.

After that, you can explore the various places to relax around the spa, like a Carbon dioxide bubble pool with light bubbles, both a Dry sauna and salt steam sauna as well as a Sleep sauna where you can lie down!

Indoor pools are nice and relaxing as well! 

Our favorite, however, were the Outdoor baths which are 39C, which is as close to Japanese onsen as can get. There are several outdoor baths under a covered area so you can spread out. This space is surrounded by pine trees and beautiful views of the water. You feel so far from the city at Yasuragi even if it's just a short boat ride, bus ride or taxi ride away. 

Remember to stay hydrated! When you first arrive at the spa reception, you can pick up a water bottle to fill, and your towels. You also get a bathing suit to take home and a robe and slippers to borrow.

Of course there is fruit and tea included in the spa time. If you want more snacks or food, get some snacks at the hotel reception or check out one of the restaurants.

Aside from the spa, there are Nature walks and activities you can also do during your visit to Yasuragi. Activities take place in the Dojo or outside and include some morning stretches, yoga class, and even some quiet meditation classes. 

The morning sessions were really nice, just be sure not to eat too much at the breakfast buffet, which features both Swedish and Japanese breakfast items like Miso soup!

This was such a relaxing escape and a lovely experience! Everyone needs a break every once in awhile. If you're in Stockholm and enjoy the spa, or curious about a Japanese bath experience, check out Yasuragi for various spa packages - even one with a 3-course dinner after spa time 😌 

Don't forget your snacks!
