| - I have heard of this traditional korean sauna for a while and I just decided to visit here recently.
First of all, the place is situated in the industrial area, and the sign is in Korean. They have the sign in English but the words are so small you actually have to pay extra attention to catch it.
When we go in, the reception asked us to pay $20 up front. You get a key to your locker where you store your shoes, and then you bring the locker key back to the counter, the counter give you another key with corresponding number for the locker in the change room. They will also provide you a t-shirt and a shorts and two small towels before you head into the change room.
The change room is huge area with lots of lockers, and it has a shower room as well. The shower room has several stalls for showers, and it provides soap and 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner, it also has a whirlpool if you want to take your time and dip yourself in there.
There's also another area in the shower room is the body scrub area, where you pay extra for the service.
Once you come out of the change room, you get to the main lobby area where you can purchase food (instant noodle, baked eggs($0.75), sushi rolls ($4.5)..etc), beverages (yes, it has alcohol drinks, sapporo $9.50), and it provides free water. Other than the food vending area, they have a lot of couches for you to relax, watch tv, read your books or use your own laptop.
We walk past the lobby and enter the sauna rooms area. It has several different room temperature, most of them are around 40c degree, and there is one room is around 70c degree, one room is around 100c degree and an ice room. Each room is built with different kind of mineral stone on the wall. (Crystal, Elvan Stone, Germanium, Gold, Jade, Ice Room, Loess)
Outside of each sauna room, there is a main resting area where everyone lye on the floor to relax, watch tv or read their books. They provide bamboo mat, yoga mat, wood block and yoga block.
When we can't stand the heat and decided to take a break, we will rest on the floor at the resting area for a while and then go into another sauna room later.
We went to visit this place on a Saturday afternoon. It is quite empty during the time that we visited. You barely get to see more than 2 people in an sauna room. And most of the people just come and go.
It is so relaxing that I can be here the entire day if I want! (And yes, this place is 24 hours and 7 days a week).
This is such a perfect place for student who wants to study without disturbance, and friends gathering with extra kick with the heat.
Love it, I'll definitely come back here again!
