The mall, part of Westlake Square Hanoi's mixed-use development, is set to open in autumn 2027. Mikazuki Onsen & Spa will bring the wellness retreat usually reserved for resorts closer to urban life, offering an urban wellness concept for customers to relax, recharge, and regain their balance amid their busy lives.\n\nThe onsen experience at Hanoi Takashimaya S.C. draws inspiration from Japan's traditional onsen culture, featuring services like massage and body care treatments alongside Japanese cuisine focused on nutritional balance. The aim is to create a holistic wellness journey that complements the retail ecosystem of the mall. By combining shopping, dining, wellness, and entertainment with Japanese-inspired experiences, customers will have more reasons to visit and spend time at Hanoi Takashimaya S.C. and the broader Westlake Square Hanoi.",
