Shikoku Sauna Journey ~Ehime & Kagawa~

Shikoku is my hometown, and since I still live here, I have visited nearly every facility on the island. And yet, I had somehow never set foot in two of the most talked-about and highly regarded establishments in all of Shikoku. It is truly embarrassing to call myself a sauna enthusiast while neglecting these local treasures right in my own backyard. If I may offer an excuse, I simply wanted to save the finest experiences for the perfect moment. Will these two iconic Shikoku facilities exceed my expectations?
