Sauna & Cold BathSAUNA & COLD BATH
Men's Sauna & Cold Bath
In the calm atmosphere of the large public bath, which feels warm and welcoming with its wooden interior, this dry sauna uses a convection stove and sauna stones to heat your body deeply. After the immersive heat that helps reset travel fatigue, the pleasantly cold water of the adjoining cold plunge bath sharply cools and tightens your overheated body, leading you into a refreshing relaxation experience through alternating hot and cold bathing.
Mist Sauna
The mist sauna in the women's bath. Fine warm steam gently envelops the entire body, moisturizing the skin while slowly warming you from the core, providing a calm and relaxing experience.
