Omotenashi (Hospitality) of Aoyama Resort
Aoyama Resort
This beauty- and health-themed resort allows you to pamper yourself in a moment of omotenashi in an open environment surrounded by nature, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to feel healthier and more beautiful both in body and mind.
Menard Aoyama Resort is a resort complex (located in Iga City, Mie Prefecture) that offers exceptional relaxation and consists of a rich array of facilities—beyond just lodging facilities—where you can enjoy hot springs, aesthetic beauty treatments, bino kukan programs, golf, herbal gardens, hands-on craft activities, and more.
A wonderful place to encounter beauty
Art Museum
Menard Art Museum opened in 1987 in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture, where the founder of Nippon Menard Cosmetics, Daisuke Nonogawa, and his wife Mitsuko are from. It was established to exhibit to the public artwork that Mr. and Mrs. Nonogawa collected for over 20 years.
The art museum features quite a diverse collection of Western paintings, Japanese-style and Western-style Japanese paintings, crafts, sculptures and antiques, totaling over 1,500 pieces in all—including works by the world’s most renowned artists like Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso—which has earned it an excellent reputation both inside and outside Japan.
The things that lead to beauty are unlimited
Aesthetic and hair salons
Aesthetic treatments by Menard ensure the ultimate relaxation that only a cosmetics manufacturer can offer by making effective use of its original cosmetic products and meticulous hand techniques. Our aesthetic method, which combines findings from our advanced research with traditional techniques from both the East and the West, truly relaxes your skin and mind, leading to genuine beauty. It is our pleasure and desire at Menard to stand by women and help them shine throughout their lives.
Menard runs its own salon—named BILEC—in Nagoya, Omotesando (Tokyo) and Aoyama Resort (Mie).
