Strengthening the Cold Bath, the Core of the Sauna Experience, for the 4th Anniversary
Ofuro café Karin no Yu has always provided facilities that make the sauna time itself enjoyable, such as a sauna garden for both men and women, self-löyly saunas, and an open-air barrel sauna. To elevate this experience for its 4th anniversary milestone, the facility will increase the number of cold baths in the men's open-air bath area from two to four.
The major point of this update is not just increasing the number, but enhancing the quality of the cool-down itself. After thoroughly warming up in the sauna, visitors cool their bodies in the cold bath and head straight to the outdoor air bath. The environment is being prepared so that this sequence can be enjoyed more smoothly and comfortably.
Furthermore, two of the four baths will be cold baths where diving is permitted. The experience of submerging oneself completely up to the head is a welcome update for dedicated sauna enthusiasts.
Towards a Deeper 'Totonou' Experience, Including the 'Cooling Time'
The satisfaction of a sauna experience is not determined by the sauna room alone.
The quality of 'totonou' (getting in the zone) changes significantly when the flow of properly cooling a warmed body, catching one's breath, and connecting to the outdoor air bath is perfected. This expansion of cold baths is a facility update intended to enrich the time spent after the sauna. It will make cooling down easier even during crowded times, and the routing to the outdoor air bath will become smoother than ever. It will become a more comfortable environment not only for guests visiting specifically for the sauna but also for those who want to start enjoying sauna culture.
Visitors will be able to enjoy the unique sauna experience of Ofuro café Karin no Yu even more deeply.
