Bukit Timah Bridge is Falling Down

Posted on by

We felt sorry for our customers whom left stranded in traffic trying to get to our spa. Apparently, someone has drove a crane through the overhead bridge, and yes, the one bridge just in front of Ikeda Spa.

The worse part is it took six hours to “saw” down the bridge, causing massive traffic from Whitley onwards.


And now, we have a bungee jump platform in front of our spa.

Bungee Jump

Once again, thank you for your understanding and patience, to all customers whom have kindly called to cancel their appointments.

White Day Spa Promotion

Hope everything had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day, and for guys whom had received our Valentine Chocolate Spa Special from your loved one. It is time for you to pay back ;-) .

Payback Time for Your Sweet Valentine

White Day is a day celebrated in Japan on March 14, one month after Valentine’s Day. As mentioned in our earlier blog, men who had received honmei-choco or giri-choco from girls are expected to return the favor with, usually more expensive.  That’s the price of making her wait a month :lol: . Sanbai Gaeshi (三倍返し) is the idea which means thrice the return of the Valentine’s Day gift. Commonly, White Day gifts can be anything white from cookies, jewellery, white chocolate, white lingerie to marshmallows.


This month, in spirit of White Day, Ikeda is proudly presenting our special spa menu in White!

Papaya Whitening Body Ritual

Papaya Whitening Body Mask

Whiten your skin, naturally, with our two hour treatment. This through, top to toes, experience will renew your skin back to what you were born with.

Papaya has become known as a leading ingredient in skin whitening products because it contains papain, a natural enzyme that promotes skin renewal and cell turnover. It helps in exfoliating the skin to reveal newer cells, and has restorative properties that soften the skin.

To maximize the benefits of papaya, we recommend you to start with the Papaya Whitening Scrub to exfoliate those dulling dead skin cells, then proceed with the Papaya Whitening Body Mask to brighten up as well as moisture your skin. Lastly, give your body the extra lift with a relaxing massage using Vitamin C-rich Papaya Whitening Massage Oil.

Hokkaido Milk Bath Ritual

Hokkaido Milk

Hokkaido Milk


Dairy products are the famous local products in Hokkaido. It is because Japan produces their dairy cattle. The cows grew in Nature of Hokkaido at ease. The nice and cool climate and fresh air, and with the rich grass zone of Hokkaido that makes the cow grew healthily and naturally. Thus Japanese usually have their local milk products. Their milks contain a strong taste of milk, and are very smooth.

I know that most people have heard of a milk bath, well how about a milk bath from Japan, using imported Hokkaido fresh milk. How luxurious!

Hokkaido milk is incredibly beneficial for the skin in many different ways. Its various ingredients serve a multitude of skin-improving purposes. Part of the reason Hokkaido milk works wonders for skin is because it contains copious amount of lactic acid, acts as a gentle cleanser for skin. More importantly, Hokkaido milk also contains natural fat and organic proteins that provide the skin with a softer, more supple feeling.

Milk Bath

Before stepping into the luxurious Hokkaido Milk Bath, we recommend you to begin with Papaya Whitening Scrub to exfoliate, then soak and enjoy inside the Hinokiburo (Japanese wooden bath tub) while warm Hokkaido milk pours over you and wash away together with every last drop of tension in your body. Continue the relaxation by a good relaxing Papaya Whitening Massage to complete this tranquil experience.
