10,000 waves offers Japanese shiazzu massages, hot tubs for soaking, and even rooms for guests to stay for the night

But this Asian-inspired spa is not located in Japan. It's just outside of downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, and alongside the Santa Fe National

You know, we try to be like a Japan unique, but mixed with Santa Fe

Kaz Tani, who grew up in Japan and has been working at 10,000 waves for many years, is showing me around

So it's just like a Japanese onsen, even though we use our own well to heat it up, it's a good mineral water

Kaz, what is it about Santa Fe that makes a Japanese spa like this fit in so well
1:06
You know, Santa Fe is very unique. I only hear from 2002 but I notice this is heating And what we can present from here is the massage water is naturally burned into this culture
1:24
The wellness culture. Yeah. Totally. After soaking for a bit, Kaz takes me down to Izanami, which offers one of the largest
1:35
artis sake menus in the United States and with Kaz offers quite the welcome
1:41
Oh, to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to. Whoa, that is a healthy poor there, cause. Wow
1:52
I'm not my abundance. You know how to welcome people to Santa Fe. Yes
1:56
Now, I want you to kiss the sake to invite you some. Ready? Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Fantastic

It means return to the mountain and it's unpasturized cycle. Very good
2:20
Now this is a lot of sake you have here. Yes, we do seriously
2:25
Serious sake tasting. Yes. Serious sake in a serene setting in Santa Fe
