Amid the ever-changing travel landscape, one thing remains certain: travelers are in search of the ultimate respite, tranquility, and unique wellness-centric offerings in their getaways. Providing just that, sister properties, Nobu Ryokan Malibu and Nobu Hotel Palo Alto, are tapping into their Japanese roots, bringing the traditional onsen bathing ritual to the shores of Southern California and the heart of Silicon Valley through their new “Art of Bathing” package.
Dating back to the sixth century as part of Buddhist purification, the Japanese began practicing an intimate bathing experience with the belief that they could cast aside all impurities through a two-step cleansing and soak process to reset and revive the soul.
