“The・(THE TEN),” a completely referral-only sauna and wellness facility with the concept of harmonizing mind and body in an urban mountain retreat, has opened in Shibuya. While its exact location is undisclosed due to its exclusive referral-only and membership-only nature, this one-room hideaway sauna has appeared in a highly convenient spot, just zero minutes on foot from Shibuya Station.

“An urban mountain retreat” refers to a tea house discreetly created amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. It is said that after the fall of the Muromachi Shogunate, amidst the chaotic times, people found solace in the tea ceremony within spaces that, while located in the city, were as tranquil as being in the mountains.

Inspired by the tea room—a non-ordinary space where the host and guests engaging in tea ceremony meet as equals, transcending social status—'the・' was born with the concept of a “modern urban mountain retreat” for harmonizing mind and body amidst the Shibuya chaos.

Today, well-being, which contemplates and seeks what is essentially valuable, and self-compassion, which accepts and affirms oneself as one is, are gaining attention, ushering in an era focused on one's own betterment.

Why not take this opportunity to confront your own mental and physical health in Shibuya's “urban mountain retreat”?
