Temple Sauna ZEN
Private Sauna for guests of Mt.Ichibata Cottage
We value a quiet environment
Temple Sauna Zen is located in the ground of Ichibata Yakushi Buddhist Zen Temple. Spend a quiet time surrounded by the nature of the Shimane Peninsula. Sauna originaly used to be a sacred place to face yourself in Finland. So is Sauna Zen. Zen is a peaceful mind that becomes one with the universe.
Private use of time and space
There is no congestion that is common in good saunas. You can use it at your own pace without worrying about other people's eyes, without worrying about conversations or noise around you. You can spend your time as you please.
Please wait for a while, an English video coming soon
Self-heating & temperature control are possible
Please enjoy "Loryu" which is Finnish sauna bathing method by yourself. A medium-temperature and high-humidity sauna that is gentle on the body. By pouring aromatic water over the hot sauna stones on the stove to generate steam, the sensible temperature rises even if the room temperature is medium temperature.
Feel free to use aroma water such as "white birch", "tar – scent of firewood", "eucalyptus", etc.
Water bath made by hollowing out a large natural stone
Fill with tap water drawn from the upper reaches of the Hii River. You can use it at a temperature close to the air temperature without straining your body. As an option, you can add ice cubes to lower the water temperature a little. Rejuvenate in the privacy of the open-air bathing area. Reclining chairs and rocking chairs are also available.
At night, it is lit up and becomes a luxurious private space. If you turn off the lights, you can enjoy the sky full of stars. If the weather is good, you can see the North Star shining from the water bath. You can also see the Big Dipper & Cassiopeia. Blown by the night breeze, it's like a sauna in the forest.
The walls of the stove are made of radish island stone (island stone) and kimachi stone from Shimane prefecture.
Mineral water (free) and ice cubes (charged) are also available.
