Retispa, a hair and scalp skincare brand run by Ateam Wellness Inc., a group company of Ateam Holdings Inc., is starting a tour of sauna facilities in major cities across Japan, beginning in Tokyo. It is the brand's first nationwide tour, held at facilities in each area, where visitors can experience the brand's world and the feel of its cream shampoo.
The first venue is Bunka Yokusen, a public bath and sauna facility in Meguro-ku, Tokyo. It will run for a limited time from Thursday, October 15 to Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
Bunka Yokusen decked out in Retispa style with large panels and noren curtains
During the event, Bunka Yokusen will feature large Retispa panels and an original noren curtain. Shoe lockers and mirrors inside the facility will also be decorated with Retispa stickers. The company says the aim is to create a space where visitors can encounter the brand throughout the facility, from entering to bathing.
A photo spot themed on a miniature Retispa sauna is set up in the shared space just inside the entrance. It is designed so that visitors can open products and take photos. Photos may be taken only in the designated areas inside the facility.
Cream shampoo testers at the washing stations, plus a hair type diagnosis
Testers of "Retispa Cream Shampoo" will be placed at all washing stations for men and women. Two types are available to try: one containing retinol (*1) and one containing niacinamide (*2). The company describes the former as a type that leaves hair "moist and manageable," and the latter as one that gives "glossy, smooth hair."
For those who cannot decide which suits them, an original Retispa "hair type diagnosis" is offered. It helps with choosing a product based on answers about the condition of your scalp and hair and your concerns. POP displays at the washing stations will also explain how to use the products and how to massage the scalp.
"Retispa Cream Shampoo" is a cream-type shampoo that does not need to be lathered. The company explains that it is designed as a "10-in-1" product that cleanses, repairs and cares for the scalp in a single bottle, with no treatment needed.

Weekend-only "Retispa Bath" and a local sticker gift
On weekends during the event, a changing bath called "Retispa Bath," with colors and a scent inspired by Retispa, will be offered.
A social media follow campaign is also held. Visitors who come during the event and follow Retispa's official Instagram or X account will receive a "Retispa Local Sticker" themed on the host area. The Tokyo edition features a design of Tokyo Tower and a public bath. Quantities are limited and the offer ends when supplies run out.
Separately, people who follow the official Instagram or X account and post with the hashtag "#RetispaNationalTour" can win an original charm in a drawing. Details are announced on Retispa's official social media.
