Where are the most popular sweat rooms in Korea? What are some well-reputed sweat rooms in Korea?

You must go to Korea to experience their sweat rooms. There are several sweat rooms in Korea with very good reputations. Next, the editor will recommend these stores for everyone. You can try them all.

Itaewon Land Sweat Room

The biggest feature of Itaewon LAND Sweat Room is that it is built like a Cheomseongdae observatory by stacking up yellow soil and canine teeth stones layer by layer. It can be said to be a feature of the sweat room in Seoul, Korea. This is also where Hyun Bin filmed “Secret Garden”. Advantages: Few people, you can play freely. Disadvantages: This sweat room is a bit old. But the overall environment is still good, not very big, not many facilities, but it has everything it should have. There are restaurants, convenience stores, and you can stay overnight. It is also a good experience.

There are four sweat rooms, one is an ice room, one is a super high temperature wet steam room, one has a mat, and one has pebbles. You can try the ice and fire experience (first go to the super high temperature one to steam for a while, and then run to the ice room). There are also massage chairs next to it, which require payment. After steaming, you can rest in the public area outside. Be sure to drink iced rice soup and tea eggs. Things on the second-floor restaurant are settled with keys. When you leave, use the keys to settle the bill. You don’t need to carry money with you. The price is 8,000 won per person for the whole day, which is very cost-effective.

Tips:

1. The entrance fee for Itaewon is 60 yuan per person. You will see the front desk when you enter. Because not many Chinese people come here, they won’t speak Chinese.

2. After buying the ticket, you will get a set of sweat room clothes and a key to the locker. Men and women are in different directions. The key is the kind that is worn on the hand with a plastic hair tie. The locker on the left is for women. Put your shoes, luggage and other things down. The locker on the right is for men.

3. After changing your shoes, walk to the left and enter the women’s bathroom. There is another locker for changing clothes before entering. It is also opened with the key you were given. Take off your clothes and go in for a shower. Remember to bring toiletries and towels, etc., because the sweat room doesn’t provide them.

4. As soon as you enter the bathroom, there is a shower on the left and several large pools of different temperatures on the right. There are negative temperatures, zero degrees, 15, 25, 35, etc. If you walk further, there are low showers where you can sit and scrub your body.

5. After showering, go out the other way, which is the sweat room hall. Men and women are mixed in the hall. You can lie down with a mat. There is floor heating. Bring eggs and face masks. Buy delicious food (eggs, rice juice, grilled sausages, etc.) in the restaurant next to the hall. You must buy rice juice to drink, it’s super delicious. The Korean pronunciation is “Sikai”. You don’t pay for food, just swipe your key fob. You settle the bill together when you leave.

6. There are four sweat rooms in the hall, two with hot stones and two with ice houses. You can go in and steam, no extra charge.

7. There is a free TV in the hall, paid massage chairs, no Wi-Fi. You can stay in it overnight, no one cares about you.

Address: 732-20 Hangnam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Getting there: Take Line 6 to Itaewon Station (이태원) and exit from Exit 3. Keep walking forward and you will see a long staircase on your right. Walk up the stairs and you will be there.

Yongsan Sweat Room

This is the largest sweat room center in Korea. In addition to a variety of sweat rooms, there are also hot springs and outdoor swimming areas!

The entrance fee for the Gu Longshan Sweat Room is 11,000 won, which is about 60 yuan. It is cheap but luxurious. It is famous and therefore there are many people (tourists and Koreans). What does the entrance fee include? You can stay in it for 12 hours, and it costs 1,000 won for each additional hour. Except for massage, beauty, dining, playing video games, shopping, and charging your phone, everything else is free. This means that bathing, hot springs, swimming, watching movies, various types of sweat rooms, and sleeping are all free. The paid items are also not expensive.

Some sweat rooms are very hot. Challenge yourself to stay in one that you feel is unbearably hot. Force yourself to stay in it for a few minutes. You will sweat all over, as if you have been washed by water. Then you can come out. Sweating feels very good, but you can also buy a sweet and refreshing iced rice soup with a rich tea egg to make yourself feel even better.

The public hall on the first floor can be used for rest, but it is a bit noisy. There are male and female-only sleeping rooms on the sixth floor, which are very quiet. People from all over the world sleep together. It is a different experience, and it is quite fun.

Tips:

1. We highly recommend the crystal salt sauna.

2. You can store your luggage for free. There is a wireless internet facility in the lobby on the first floor that is enough for you to enjoy a wireless internet connection. It is worth experiencing.

3. It is best to go on weekdays. There will be more people on weekends, but it is also more lively.

Ticket price: 11,000 won during the day, 13,000 won after 8 pm. You can stay for 12 hours.

Address: 40-713, Hangangno 3(sam)-ga, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Getting there: It is very convenient to take Line 4. You can get to the Gu Longshan subway station from these stations: Myeongdong, Chungmuro, Dongdaemun, and Yongsan. No need to transfer. Get off the subway and you will be at the store.

Seoul Sealala Sweat Room

I saw a backpacker recommend this place, so I went there out of curiosity, and I wasn’t disappointed. Sealala has a water park suitable for all ages. It also has traditional Korean sweat rooms, saunas, spas, and other items. The service is good, and it is a good place for leisure and entertainment.

However, you need to pay 7,000 won first when you enter. Then you need to pay another 1,000 won with the key when you get your clothes. All subsequent consumption is by key induction, and you settle the bill when you leave. There are five pools here. Although they are relatively large, there are also more people. After taking a bath, go to the public area. There are four kilns of different temperatures. You can choose the one with the temperature that suits you best.

Overall, SeaLaLa Water World is quite spacious and clean, but because there are too many tourists, it seems a bit noisy. If you want to come to the sweat room to rest and relax, even take a nap, you may be disappointed, but if you want to come here to chat with your family and friends, it is not bad because you don’t have to worry about being noisy to others.

Tips:

1. Keep the key with you! You can hang it on your hand or foot. You can also use the key to pay at this store, which means that you don’t need to carry money with you when you go to eat in the restaurant or use the massage chair. Just settle the bill at the front desk when you leave.

2. The best thing about this place is the water park facilities. Don’t miss it if you are traveling with children.

3. You can also rent DVD tapes here.

4. All fees do not include the sweat room clothing rental fee (1,000 won).

5. Children are from 4 to 12 years old. Children under 36 months are free (proof of health insurance card is required).

6. This sweat room is near the Yongdeungpo Underground Street. It is really good for shopping. Almost all the clothes are 10,000 won (about 60 yuan), and it is easy to make girls “go crazy”. You will end up buying a shopping bag to hold all the clothes. I recommend you to go shopping here before going to the sweat room.
