When visiting Sokcho, these baths are a must do. Men and women separated, you have to be naked but no judgment from the Koreans, no one calculates. Tattoos allowed. 10,000 W per person, children allowed. Towels are provided.We wash for around ten minutes then we can enjoy the 3 baths: cold, hot and very hot water.Really a great experience!

A basic hot spring but does the essentials well. Everyone is naked, men and women fully separated. Not geared for foreigners but they don't mind having you there if you're polite.Catch the #3 bus to the nearest stop, then walk 5 min down the hill to the spa. Pay 10,000 won at the front desk and receive an entrance card and a couple of small towels. Use the card to get through the turnstiles (men left, women right) to the change rooms, strip and leave your gear in a locker, head through to the washing area, grab a stool and scrub yourself well (2-10 min) before you go near a pool. The locals have buckets of toiletries; I used one of my towels as a wet scrubbing towel / cooling face towel. Option to pay extra for someone to scrub you down on a table.After scrubbing, enjoy the pools: one hot 40°C, one really hot 45°C, one really cold (maybe 5-10°C?), and a steam room.Change rooms offer hair dryers, moisturiser, drinking water.Locals were friendly and curious, but there was a language barrier so we couldn't chat as much as we wanted.Had a lovely time here after hiking all day. Would recommend it for anyone who is willing to put in a little extra effort to do it the local way, with limited English.

Ok this is a very simple spa but I gave it 4 stars for a couple of things, is it truly a 4 star spa, depends on what you like.Yes, very simple 3 baths hot, warm and cold. There is a sauna.Plenty of parking and it doesn’t seem to be very crowded, I can tell a lot of locals come here. The cost is 10,000 won so not to high.It does what it’s supposed to do very traditional compared to other spas that I’ve been to.Why 4 stars? First, the hot isn’t anything special 47.8 but the cold it has to be one of the coldest I’ve been in, there was no temp gauge I could see but it was very cold. Second, location right across the street is the foot bath spa and you are also really close to hiking trails. Third there is a story to this place you can read about it in the pictures I posted, it’s been around for a little while and has some history.Overall not a bad place if you just want to take a shower and relax but don’t think it’s going to flip the bill if you’re looking for something extra special, no Jimjilbang only shower but I recommend going across the street to the foot spa when you visit only 1,000 won.
