Chiba Futtsu City
A sacred site for outdoor sauna where the Satoyama breeze and water satisfy all five senses
"SATOYAMA TERRACE" is an outdoor sauna facility nestled in the rich natural surroundings of Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture. The mountain sauna, wrapped in the scent of burning firewood and the glow of a hearth, and the waterfall sauna, where Futtsu's natural water cascades down like a waterfall, create a completely new sweating experience. After heating up, your body cools down comfortably in a cold plunge bath with gently soft natural flowing water, and in a temperature-changing bath blended with wild herbs. Another highlight is the thoughtfully designed rest area. In the open-air bathing space on the wood deck, the Satoyama breeze sweeps across your entire body, while in the indoor relaxation tent equipped with custom mattresses, you can enjoy an extraordinary sense of release in any season. It is a special time where you can fully savor the experience of your mind and body being freed in harmony with nature.

A special sauna where you sit on benches with mountain-like elevation changes and gaze at the flames of the fire burning in the hearth. Two stoves generate powerful heat, while the room is filled with the rich aroma of firewood and wild herbs. It offers an immersive experience that feels like quietly spending time in a cabin deep in the mountains, and is filled with deep comfort that gently stimulates all five senses.

A fantastical space filled with the soothing sound of water and abundant humidity, where Futtsu's natural water flows down from a dynamic waterfall made of natural stone. A one-of-a-kind relaxation experience that blends waterfall meditation and sauna bathing while feeling the spray from the falls. Your whole body is enveloped in fresh, vibrant heat as if becoming one with a rich source of water.

A cold plunge bath where you can luxuriate in Futtsu's natural water, nurtured by the rich Satoyama environment, at room temperature in a continuous flow. In an arrangement inspired by the local famous spring known as Taki no Fudoson, you can experience the water's fine-grained, softly supple quality that seems to cling to your skin. The blessings of the earth gently cool your heated body and bring a pure sense of refreshment.

A unique temperature-changing bath whose water temperature shifts with the season. In summer, it provides a crisp cold bath that sharpens and tightens the body, while in winter it becomes warm water that slowly relaxes you. The fragrance of wild herbs blended into the natural water spreads gently, guiding you into deep relaxation as you feel the subtle changes of nature through the seasons.
