About Michi-no-Eki Shiranuka Roadside Station
The Sauna with a View of the Sea at Michi-no-Eki Shiranuka Koitoikan stands in a superb location along Koitoi Coast in Shiranuka Town, Hokkaido, and is a full-fledged sauna attached to a roadside station, something rare anywhere in Japan. From inside the sauna room you can take in a panorama of the Pacific Ocean stretching on without end, and sweat slowly while feeling at one with nature. Once the sauna has warmed you to the limit, cool down with a shower or the cold plunge, then head to the space for cooling off in the open air, where the sea breeze and the sound of the waves feel close at hand. Between nights sleeping in your car or on a break from a drive, a superb refreshment awaits in which you take in Shiranuka’s majestic nature with all five senses.
SaunaSAUNA
Sauna with a View of the Sea (automatic löyly)
An authentic Finnish sauna with automatic löyly, which pours water over the sauna stones on its own. Rich, piping-hot steam rises at regular intervals and fills the room, so even beginners can sweat comfortably without strain. Its greatest draw is the superb view of Koitoi Coast beyond the large window. Gazing at the endless blue of the Pacific and the white waves rolling in, you can savor a sublime sauna session that sets body and mind free.
Cold BathCOLD BATH
Cold plunge and open-air cooling-off space
After a shower or the cold plunge has pulled your heated body taut, head to the adjoining space for cooling off in the open air. Let the fresh sea wind that only a coastal spot can offer wash over your whole body, close your eyes to the steady, soothing sound of the waves as background music, and you will be drawn into a deep state of totonou, the profound relaxation that follows the sauna, as if melting into Hokkaido’s vast nature in a way you can find nowhere else.
