While waiting for VTLs to Japan, we can only visit places in Singapore that help us pretend we're there. For food outings, you can have your pick of the sakura-filled Brown Butter, Kyoto-style MoMiJi Cafe, zen Suzuki Cafe, and the breathtaking Keyaki Restaurant that's surrounded by a Japanese garden and koi pond.

But if you're in the mood for a relaxing spa day instead, there's a new Japanese-style spa & restaurant in town to luxuriate in - HEIWA Wellness and Spa.

Located a convenient a 3-minute walk from Harbourfront MRT station at Harbourfront Centre, the wabi-sabi-meets-Muji spa has a luxurious and relaxing ambience reminiscent of onsens in Japan.

Helmed by Chef Wong, who has decades of experience in Japanese cuisine, the restaurant at the spa serves premium dishes made with ingredients imported from Japan including Kagoshima A5 wagyu beef ($68), sashimi ($15 - $48) and sushi platters ($12 - $35).

To end your spa day with even more luxury, go for their omakase course ($188++ per pax), a 6-course meal made with handpicked seasonal ingredients.

Spa visitors also get to dress up in a kimono or yukata while they dine. Check out our review of their omakase here.
