ONSEN&SAUNA YUKULU is a natural onsen bathhouse inside Nagasaki Stadium City in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture. Its water, drawn from deep underground and carrying the scent of sulfur, is known as a “bath of beauty,” and you can savor it at leisure in an airy open-air bath and an indoor bath. The main bathhouse on the 7th floor has a full-scale Stadium Sauna with automatic löyly and an icy cold plunge. On the 6th floor, a premium sauna area that men and women enjoy together in loungewear gathers saunas of real character, such as the Wakaran Sauna, which evokes Nagasaki’s culture, and the meditation sauna. After bathing, spend your time as you like in a relaxation space lined with about 4,500 comic books or in the coworking area.

Enjoy an alkaline simple sulfur spring at leisure in both the indoor bath and the airy open-air bath. Smooth to the touch and called a “bath of beauty,” the water leaves your skin silky long after bathing. In the open-air bath, with the outdoor breeze around you, the fatigue of daily life seems to melt slowly into the water, making for a moment of supreme relaxation.

A spacious stadium-style sauna inside the main bathhouse. Automatic löyly runs at regular intervals, sending pleasant heat and steam through the room and drawing out sweat all at once. In a quiet setting you sit with the heat at your own pace, and when you step out, the cold plunge right beside it gives you a crisp cool-down. It is a place to fully enjoy the classic cycle of hot and cold.

An icy cold plunge that gently embraces a body heated to the limit in the sauna. It is an easy step from the sauna room, and the cold pulls your flushed body taut at once. You can cool down comfortably to suit the season and how you feel that day, and it deepens the totonou (the settled state of deep relaxation) that comes as you cool off in the open air or rest afterward.
