A natural onsen open-air bath of its own, attached to the private sauna musu musu MAYA. Men and women can use it together in swimsuits. Feeling the sea breeze and the open sky, you can enjoy supreme, undisturbed relaxation with family or a partner, free of any worry about others.

A men-only high-temperature sauna heated by far-infrared heaters. In the spacious room, powerful heat wraps the whole body and brings on a good sweat in a short time. It is the ideal setting when you simply want to sit with the heat and work up a refreshing sweat.

A men-only stone sauna built with natural stone. Powerful automatic löyly takes place regularly, and you can also pour the löyly yourself, so you can enjoy the high heat and humidity just the way you like. Rich steam fills the room, warming you to the core without feeling stifling.

A women-only Finnish sauna that follows the traditional style. Along with regular automatic löyly, you can also pour the löyly yourself, a truly authentic setup. The heat and humidity are kept high, and wrapped in soft steam you can enjoy a slow, pleasant sweat.

A women-only medium-temperature sauna that uses salt to bring on sweating. Putting salt on your body and warming up slowly helps loosen old dead skin and dirt from the pores, and after bathing your skin feels smooth and silky. A place recommended for anyone who puts beauty and skincare first.

A women-only steam room filled with the pleasant scent of aroma oils. Fine steam fills the room, so even those who find the heat and stuffiness of a dry sauna hard can relax and stay in for a long time. The moist steam cares for your skin while bringing gentle relief.

A roomy, deep cold plunge that heightens the refreshment after the sauna. Plenty of cold water surrounds the whole body as you cool down, and the cold pulls your flushed body taut at once. From the cold plunge, you move easily on to cooling off in the open air in the open-air area, where you feel the sea breeze.
