Ancient sauna facilityExciting design that makes you feel like a man's paradiseAlthough the building shows its age, it has the quality of a slow-cooked meal.As it has a long history, they continue to listen to customers' opinions and make improvements, so there are no inconveniences in terms of amenities.The location is sophisticated and easy to understand and use.I didn't care about the cleanliness either.Ice that you can put in your mouth before sauna is great! Personally, I like it, but the Finnish sauna has a low temperature and makes you sweat a lot, so people who like hot far infrared saunas or advanced sauna users may not be satisfied without Roryu.There was little temperature difference between the Finnish sauna at 90℃ and the cold bath at 16℃, so the cold bath was too cold, but once you get used to it, it's even better.The first time is much better.The rest area is fully equipped with bincho water and lemon water, and there are plenty of manga available so you can stay for a long time! The sauna food looks delicious too.One thing I noticed is that the lockers are narrow and narrow, so you can't fit a trunk case in. I don't know because I didn't go there with a trunk case, but maybe you can leave it at the reception.The chairs in the tidying area are near the washing area, so if someone is washing, hot water will splash on them.The bathroom is not spacious, and there is no lying area in the tidying area.Products in the facility are priced a little higher.It's not inconvenient, but the sleeping area in the capsule is small and has a thin futon instead of a mattress, so I can't say it's good.In the summer, it's hot because there's no air conditioning.There was just enough room for me to want to stay before checking out.I would like to use it again if I have a chance

The check-out time is 24 hours from check-in, which is great, the large bath towels are free to use, there is ice in front of the sauna room, and food is brought to the sofa in the rest area. Above all, Akasuri's technique was amazing. After Akasuri, there was a little massage at the end. The entire building is very nice and generous down to the smallest details!

Rating 4🧊A hot bath facility exclusively for men that has been awarded the Sauna Ceramic Award in 2018 & 2019. There's a signed colored paper on the wall at the front desk...oh?! There's also a colored paper written by Mr. Coincidence. . There was also a signed colored paper that I saw at Sauna Shikiji. I thought to myself at the reception that there are quite a few people there...including me.I chose this place because I had learned on the internet that it was a popular hot springs facility, but later I saw an article about Niko Refle in a magazine I had browsed at a bookstore a long time ago, and by chance I found myself in the place that was featured at that time. At that time, I was impressed that he was there.At the time of my bathing, April 21, 2024 (Reiwa 6), the number of amenities was the highest ever (hair dryer, of course, shaving, toothbrush, pomade, gel, comb, lotion, etc., Oronine, cotton swabs, etc.) The rest area has a reclining seat with a TV and a wireless chime to call the staff, who will bring you a blanket and let you eat on the spot while you relax. .*Bincho charcoal water and lemon water are self-service.There is a capsule floor, a spa, a sauna floor, a restaurant floor, and a relaxation floor.You can go to the front desk on the 4th floor and there is no membership fee or annual fee.You can create a card on the spot and use the membership price immediately. There is a deferred payment system, and there is a locker for valuables in front of the front desk, which you must ask at the front desk to use.There is also a refrigerated locker like the one at Shoraku's Yutsubata store.Get clothes for the hotel, and use towels and bath towels as much as you like. There is a security camera in the changing room, towels and bath towels are available in front of the bathhouse and in the changing room, and there are no outside baths or open-air baths.From the right side of the indoor bath entrance ① Germanium mist (Japan's first) ② Rocky sauna (To prevent dehydration at the entrance of the rocky sauna room Self-serve ice is provided, 3 tiers, 80-86℃, 13 times a day, only on Fridays and Saturdays + 1・Sauna stone guard with a diameter of about 1 meter ・The sauna room is limited to 30 people, so the queue for auf is quick ・Bath towels are also available in the sauna room) They are close together and there are benches around them so you can sit on them). From the left: ④ High-temperature Vibra bath ⑤ Bincho charcoal water bath (Kishu Bincho charcoal bath) ⑥ Hydrogen bath (Hokkaido's first, with Vibra bath).*In my writing, the jacuzzi is described as a jet bath.Rocky sauna, auf, started with three chants of ``Ichi ni sauna'' and applause. Even if you don't know it, it's still a sauna. What is it first? ! I thought so, but I gradually got used to it. Next, you can choose the number of times, but everyone declares 10 times. ``123456789 sauna'' Instead of saying 10, they end with a chant of sauna. When you look up once, join your voice and applause. Although I stayed until the end, I found myself completely familiar with the atmosphere of the scene. There was also the service of shaking hands with Aufgisser, and I started to like [Nicole Refre].When I was reviewing my memories and impressions, I might have remembered the words written in the magazine in my mind, which may have turned out to be a confusing post... The words I remembered were ``The chant is Ichi Knee Sauna.'' The words "I love you" were exactly [that].I’m glad you came~

Capsule hotel and sauna in the best location, close to Odori and SusukinoBaths and saunas seem to be found pretty much everywhere. Centurion's extremely hot sauna is quite mild (too weak) compared to a cold bath.The biggest feature is that you can stay for 24 hours after entering the store. If you check in at 8pm, you can stay until the same time the next day. It is possible to go out on the wayThere are not many capsules available at such a good price in Japan.Compared to Centurion, which was just built, the interior of the building and the baths are noticeably older.The locker room is small and can be cramped if you are competing with people nearby.If you're looking for a real sauna, go to Centurion, and if you're looking for value for your time, go to Niko Refre.They say it's the absolute king of the north, but other than the advantageous check-in time, it's beaten by other capsules, including Centurion.Centurion allows you to bring in food and drinks, but Nico Refre only has an expensive in-house menu.
