Tokyo Shinjuku City
Located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, 'TOTOPA Toritsu Meiji Park Branch' is an urban spa that offers a trinity of saunas: Left Room, Right Room, and Na Room, each providing a different quality of heat. It features a deep cold plunge bath (approximately 160cm) and a two-stage cooling with cold water to create a striking contrast in sensation. The Left Room, with straight lines and cool colors, sharpens the senses, the Right Room, with curves and warm colors, relaxes, and the Na Room, with background music, soothes. It offers the shortest path to achieving 'totonou' in the city center.
A sauna with a rounded interior, warm-colored walls, and warm lighting surrounding personal benches. The auto-löyly periodically releases steam, relaxing the mind and body with enveloping moist heat. It is characterized by a quietness that allows for personal immersion and a gentle heat.
A communication-type sauna themed around 'soothing,' with lively BGM playing. The atmosphere encourages conversation, and the heat is raised mildly. It is the most casual of the three rooms, allowing for adjustment of intensity between rounds.
Designed to stimulate the 'left brain' with a linear interior design and cool-toned lighting. Equipped with auto-löyly, the automatic water pouring on the stove accelerates sweating. The contrast of bench levels and sharp light enhances focus, and the extension of heat and humidity thoroughly warms the body.
A basic cold water bath located in the bathing area. It quickly lowers body temperature immediately after the sauna, allowing for fine-tuning of intensity when used in conjunction with the deep cold plunge bath. The short circulation path facilitates a smooth transition from cooling down to resting.
A deep and cold water bath that cools the entire body from head to toe. With a special design of approximately 160cm depth, the enveloping coldness quickly dissipates heat.
