This Winter, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka Unveils a Warm Sanctuary for Ski Stopovers, Spa Rituals, and Cantonese Feasts

It may be frosty outside – but warmth is the order of the day at Four Seasons Hotel Osaka. Cozy moments unfold through winter with a selection of thoughtfully curated offerings, including wellbeing rituals at THE SPA, seasonal Cantonese flavours at Jiang Nan Chun, and a generous third-night-free offer to elevate skiing getaways.

Osaka, the Perfect Ski Stopover

With Japan’s legendary powder season in full swing, Osaka becomes a natural gateway to the country’s most celebrated ski destinations. From Kansai International Airport and Osaka Itami Airport, multiple daily direct flights whisk travellers north to Hokkaido’s world-renowned winter resorts – including Niseko, Furano, and Rusutsu – making seamless same-day connections from city to slopes entirely possible. Guests can also hop on frequent domestic flights to Zao near Sendai, famed for its mystical “snow monsters” and dramatic mountain vistas.

For those seeking a quicker Kansai getaway, the slopes of Shiga and Hyogo – great for beginners, families, and casual skiers – are within easy reach, making Osaka an ideal base for both long-range adventures and short escapes.

From Slopes to Spa

Whether visiting Four Seasons Hotel Osaka before or after the exhilaration of the slopes, guests will find ample opportunity to relax, recharge and enrich their ski stopover. There’s no better place to revitalise than the Hotel’s dedicated wellbeing zone, offering everything from steaming Ofuro bath rituals to renewing spa therapies.

Winter breaks shine even brighter with two signature treatments from Codage, enhanced with a seasonal offer: book either of the treatments to receive a gift voucher worth JPY 8,000 for Four Seasons branded retail products at THE SPA.

• Yohaku – Essence of Codage Couture. A complete facial treatment, featuring a bespoke serum mix. Expert manual techniques are paired with Codage Paris’ signature cellular workout to revitalise skin deeply, restoring luminosity and hydration. 90 min, JPY 65,000.
• Yohaku – Essence of Codage Couture Journey. Ideal for exploring the Codage universe, this customised experience begins with a Couture body treatment for deep relaxation, followed by a Couture facial designed to leave skin radiant, supple, and refreshed. 150 min, JPY 90,000.

Winter is also when Osaka reveals its more atmospheric side, giving guests a chance to explore more deeply. The park at Osaka Castle unveils peaceful winter scenery, and the city’s museums feel especially inviting as cozy indoor escapes. Plus, the crisp and cold weather is perfect for enjoying those famous street foods – sizzling kushikatsu skewers, piping-hot ramen and udon noodles, and hearty okonomiyaki pancakes. Late in the season, ume plum blossoms begin to unfurl, signalling the imminent arrival of spring amid the frosty chill.
