Aichi Nagoya City
A holy site of Japanese sauna culture. Immerse yourself in the -25°C Ice Sauna and the stillness of the forest
"Wellbe Sakae" is one of Japan's most iconic sauna meccas, located in Sakae, Naka Ward, Nagoya. In the "Forest Sauna," which recreates the forests of Finland, you can face yourself in silence with self-löyly. The highlight is the "Ice Sauna," with an icy cold plunge bath set in a -25°C extreme-cold space. After a shocking cooling experience reminiscent of winter in Lapland, you are led into a profound state of totonou in a relaxation area where birdsong can be heard. It also features a sauna theater where you can experience world-class heat waves.

The main, stadium-style sauna room, spacious and open. Expert staff host impressive aufguss sessions here, driving you to peak perspiration with powerful waves of heat and the aroma of essential oils. With features such as reclining spaces and seats with footbaths, it offers a variety of ways to enjoy the heat, and every detail is designed to combine entertainment and functionality in an exquisite space.

A self-löyly sauna themed after the forests of Finland, wrapped in silence. The dim indoor lighting and the scent of vihta help you forget the noise of the city. By pouring water over the sauna stones and feeling the gentle steam rise on your skin, you can enjoy a meditative experience that feels like slowly delving into yourself. This is an iconic sauna room of Wellbe Sakae, where you can feel the sauna culture of the Nordic countries up close.

Cold enough to cool the body thoroughly after sauna use. With crisp water quality and a stable temperature setting, it is a dependable part of a rhythmic sauna rotation.
