We visit an awesome sauna in Tokyo that’s ladies-only on days that end in zero

Paradise, a brand new sauna in Tokyo’s Mita neighborhood, simply opened in April however is already successful with the SoraNews24 staff. As you’ll have guessed from the title, they’ve began a marketing campaign the place the whole facility is open solely to girls on days of the month that finish in zero–so the tenth, the twentieth, and the thirtieth.

In Japan, saunas are usually extra of a males’s pastime, to the purpose the place males’s-only saunas far outnumber services solely open to girls. That’s why we expect the latest growth of girls in Japan that frequent saunas will love this deal. Our reporter Mariko Ohanabata is one such woman, and he or she obtained the within scoop for us.

Paradise is positioned only a five-minute stroll from JR Tamachi Station or Toei-Oedo Line’s Mita Station, nestled amongst workplace buildings and izakaya that populate the realm. It was renovated from a pre-existing bathhouse, which might usually invoke a picture of an enormous indoor facility, however this one is definitely pretty cozy by comparability. Mariko nearly walked proper by it since she was anticipating a big entrance.

Upon getting into, she was shocked at how stylish it was with its heat and welcoming wooden tones. She checked in on the brand-new reception and obtained a small bag with a big towel, a small towel, and a locker key. One 30-minute session prices 750 yen, and after that it’s a further 250 yen per 10 minutes.

In addition they have personal sauna rooms that may be rented for a further 500 yen or 1,000 yen relying on the time of day you wish to use it. In Mariko’s case, she had booked one other supply beforehand: 4,000 yen to make use of the private sauna as a lot as she needed for 2 hours (advance reservations required).

She went into the primary room and felt like she was in one other world. Is that this Spirited Away? she thought. The identical heat wooden tones from the doorway had been right here as effectively, together with darkish stones, loads of greenery, and a number of other baths and showers. Within the again was a door that led to the shared sauna.

Mariko liked the small particulars just like the stained glass home windows in entrance of the washing space. This was Mariko’s first cease, washing herself earlier than utilizing the shared sauna as per conventional sauna manners. Within the shared sauna had been small tatami squares for purchasers to sit down on, which Mariko appreciated.

Prospects are additionally allowed to throw scorching, lemongrass-scented water on the stones, making the spacious room even hotter. Take into accout, although, this room is scorching. When Mariko checked the thermometer within the room, it learn 100 levels Celsius (212 levels Fahrenheit). Not too scorching for Mariko, although.

She additionally famous the room’s low ceilings, which meant the warmth would keep within the room. Yet one more genius transfer by Paradise, Mariko thought. She lavished within the quiet of her personal ideas–no clocks or TVs in right here–after which determined to check out her personal sauna.

It was positioned on the second ground, nestled into the wall like a comfortable cubbyhole. It had loads of house to put down and was full of a scrumptious new wooden odor. You’ll be able to add water to the coals on this house, too, so you’ll be able to regulate the temperature to your liking.

Mariko loved much more personal time in her cubbyhole, laying down and having fun with the ambiance and the fragrant water–which, by the best way, is pine-scented for the personal cubicles.

After one other good sweat, she headed all the way down to the baths to rinse off and funky down. The primary ground has three totally different chilly baths, every cooled to a barely totally different temperature for various prospects’ preferences.

There’s even a small waterfall in one of many baths to chill your head, which warms up probably the most in a sauna. This isn’t a function accessible in all saunas, so Mariko was excited! One bathtub was a lukewarm 16 levels Celsius (61 levels Fahrenheit) and one other simply 9 levels Celsius (48 levels Fahrenheit). It’s the closest you’ll get to an ice bath-sauna expertise.

You’re allowed to simply hang around on the primary ground, however the second ground has an precise resting house. The tatami flooring are dotted with wired chairs and electrical followers.

There’s even a display screen that tasks artwork! Actually a Paradise.

Mariko was even impressed with the locker room and altering room! The lockers are made in the identical heat wooden tones as the remainder of the ability.

There have been 5 hair dryers (a real blessing for ladies’s solely day), all by a dependable and highly effective Japanese firm Salonia.

An important post-sweat provide: water.

And after you dress, there’s a lounge house with soft sofas and a big desk to hang around in. It’s an ideal house to arrange to enterprise again out into actuality.

Mariko additionally loved a lemon soda (600 yen) earlier than heading out. Total, Mariko extremely recommends a go to! The one issues she’d word are that cost is completely cashless, so be sure you have an digital cost methodology prepared; and that they don’t serve meals with a view to encourage prospects to go to the close by native eateries.
