BOOK TO WIN!Eric Shinichi is the spa director of Ikeda Spa and enjoys writing about beauty, wellness, travel, and food in Japan. His love for Japan began when he was working in Tokyo, spending weekends relaxing in old onsen towns and enjoying seasonal kaiseki meals. Those experiences inspired him to open Singapore’s first authentic Japanese spa, bringing the same care and traditions he admired in Japan. Today, Eric shares his passion through stories about his travels, from staying in hidden ryokan to testing a centuries-old massage technique. When he’s not creating new spa experiences, he’s exploring new corners of Japan, trying new foods, or practicing his matcha whisking skills at home.
