Okinawa Haebaru Town, Shimajiri District
An eco-friendly, affordable public sauna using residual heat from waste incineration
An eco-friendly, multi-purpose bathing facility in Haebaru Town, Okinawa Prefecture that uses waste heat from the adjacent clean center. The bright, clean large public bath offers two types of saunas that alternate daily between men and women: a Hinoki dry sauna and a steam sauna. A cold plunge bath is also available, allowing you to fully enjoy alternating hot and cold bathing. As a public facility with reasonable fees, it is a beloved, homey sauna used by locals for health maintenance and relaxation.
An authentic Hinoki dry sauna warmed to about 90°C, with the pleasant scent of hinoki wood. The two saunas alternate daily between men's and women's use. In a quiet space without a TV, you can take your time sweating and reflecting.
The steam sauna located in the bathing room that alternates on the other days. The room is about 40-45°C with high humidity, so even those who find very hot saunas difficult can warm up gradually with fine mist without becoming overheated.
A cold plunge bath placed right next to the sauna, about 40-60 cm deep. The water temperature is a comfortable 18-19°C, which briskly washes away sweat from the sauna and refreshingly cools your heated body.
