I visited on Ladies Day. I don't know about the guest rooms since it's a day trip, but the sauna, cold bath, and outdoor bath are also great. Also, the more you eat curry, the more addictive you become!

A sacred place for Tokyo saunas, which became famous on the TV show "Sa-do".Admission is required by making a reservation online.Online reservations can be made 3 days in advance. I was checking the online reservation status several times because I wanted to go there on Saturday, but it just so happened that my reservation was canceled starting at 8pm, so I was able to make a reservation.My impression is that ``The reason why Scandinavia is a sacred place is because of the outdoor air bathing.''There is only one sauna and one cold bath. Honestly, I don't think it's as good as the sauna and cold baths I've been to, such as ``Wellbe Sakae'' in Nagoya or ``Yulux'' in Kumamoto.However, when it comes to outdoor air bathing, it is one of the best urban saunas. The visual arrangement surrounding the rectangular bathtub is quite nice.There are about 20 well-equipped chairs, and there is a good breeze. This probably has a lot to do with location, such as the layout of buildings. This is a sauna with a high level of order.The morale of the customers was high, and there was almost no private conversation. In the end, I couldn't help but buy a sauna hat for 5,500 yen.Stayed here on the first day of the three-day holiday in November.Although Scandinavia is fully booked, guests of capsule hotels can use the sauna at any time. If you really want to use it, we recommend making a reservation. On this day, the hotel was fully booked.Morning service is the best.Stayed in Golden Week in 2020It's still good. It seems that ``Saunaikutai'' is lagging behind Koganeyu in Tokyo, but it is probably Northern Europe. If you want to know what a sauna is, I recommend you to go to Northern Europe first. The rice is also of high quality.Stayed during Obon in August 2020Capsule fully booked.It seems that the main sauna will be renovated in August, so before that, I visited to take a look at the old sauna room. Still good.In particular, the wind flows through the open air bathing space, which is the most famous in Japan. I think this is due to a lot of coincidences such as the layout of surrounding buildings, but it always makes me wonder.We look forward to seeing you in Northern Europe, where the main sauna room has been upgraded.Stayed on a Saturday in October 2020.First visit since the main sauna has been updated.As I checked on YouTube beforehand, the impression is almost the same as before. However, when you enter the sauna room, you can feel the pleasant smell of wood and feel that it has become new.The TV moves to the front and the clock also moves to the front. The indoor temperature is over 100 degrees, making it more powerful than before.As expected, a nice breeze was blowing in the outdoor bathing space.
