Enjoyable experiences to make the most of early summer
(1) Mint-scented heat wave service
In the heat wave service held daily in the men's sauna, we will be using Kitami Hakka Tsusho's "peppermint oil" to its fullest. After an invigorating coolness, a subtle sweetness lingers in the latter half of the experience. We will provide you with the ultimate sweating and relaxation experience amidst the refreshing scent of 100% natural ingredients.
(2) Mint-scented auto-löyly
During this period, the automatic löyly (steam) system in the men's and women's saunas will use a mint blend essential oil. The refreshing scent of mint and the elegant aroma of natural ingredients will fill the room.
