Osaka Sauna DESSE
Located in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, this facility is worthy of being called a sauna theme park with six types of saunas. The river sauna is astonishingly designed so you can slide directly into the cold plunge bath from indoors and swim out to the water's surface. The 93°C extreme steam 'Forest Sauna' reaches its limit in 5 minutes, and the contrast with the 12°C cold plunge bath is superb. In the tatami-floored tea room sauna, you can enjoy 'tea löyly' where tea drips from a teapot. The 'Water Surface Sauna' reflects the water surface on the ceiling, the 'Hanare Sauna' offers self-löyly, and there are also garden saunas, each with unique characteristics. With four perfect cold plunge baths at 8°C, 12°C, 15°C, and 16°C, this is a top-notch sauna facility that stimulates all five senses in Osaka's Shinsaibashi.
