＜12/JU-NI shampoo and conditioner for preserving your travel memories beautifully＞

When you use the shampoo provided in most hotels, your hair doesn’t always come out looking great.
Even if you’ve taken lots of photos of your trip, you can’t help but feel a little disappointed every time you look back at a photo of your slightly frizzy hair…
I think that people with particularly frizzy hair have probably had this experience before.

The shampoo and conditioner in the guest rooms at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA are “12/JU-NI,” which are designed to address concerns such as hair frizz, damage, and how easily hair gets frizzy after sleeping.
It was developed by Kimura Soap, a long-established soap manufacturer founded in 1924. Kimura Soap is one of only a few companies in Japan that still use the traditional kettle-cooked method of soap making, and the fact that their products are still handmade by artisans shows their commitment to quality.

This shampoo and conditioner, which was developed over five years with a focus on truly improving hair quality, ignoring all of the trendy ingredients and ease of production, is a very luxurious and delicate formula that can only be made by Kimura Soap, which requires the skills of artisans in its production.
You’ll definitely feel a different response to your hair care than you’ve experienced before, as you feel the shampoo’s texture on your fingertips as you rinse it out.

Every morning after staying at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA, I get out of bed, touch my hair, look into the iconic round mirror, check the condition of my hair, and do a victory pose in my heart, thinking “OK!” With my hair nicely set, I head out to make memories in Nagoya.

The 12/JU-NI shampoo and conditioner are not just for the day you stay, but also a great supporting actor that will color your memories of your trip with happiness when you look back at the photos.
