To prevent insects from entering the building, we ask for your cooperation with the following measures.

・Do not leave your front door or windows open for long periods of time.
・Be sure to use a screen when opening a window.
・Since insects are easily attracted to indoor lights at night, please keep doors and windows open for as short a time as possible.
・Please do not leave dishes, food, or drinks out after using them outdoors.

If an insect gets inside the room and you are unable to handle the situation on your own, please contact us via the messaging feature on the booking site or by email.

About the water bath pouring (explanation of the valve)

Water supply valve to water bath

The water baths and pools at our facility are provided in a free-flowing system using well water.
The water is cooled to approximately 16 degrees Celsius even in the summer.

However, please be sure to close the red valve next to the water bath tub when not in use, as leaving the water bath running may cause the floor of the entrance to flood, and also to prevent the well from running dry.

About Sauna

About Sauna Preheating

For the comfort of our guests, we turn on the sauna in advance so that they can enjoy it immediately after check-in. However, depending on the timing of your bathing, the sauna may be automatically turned off by a timer setting. Therefore, we recommend that you personally check to ensure that the power is turned on before using the sauna.

Due to operational reasons of the facility, we may not be able to turn on the sauna in advance of your arrival. We would appreciate your understanding and cooperation should this situation arise.

Precautions when using the sauna

  • Be sure to use hot water for the loyly.Using cold water can cause the stove to malfunction.
  • Only hot water from the tap or designated aromatherapy oils may be used for the loyly. The use of liquid aroma oil, tea, or other liquids brought in is strictly prohibited as they may stain the heaters and stones. If a violation is found, measures including compensation for damages will be taken.
  • If a large amount of water is used in one go, the steam will be too hot and may cause burns. (One ladleful of water per time is the best amount for our sauna.)
  • Do not touch stove or stones while in use. There is a risk of burns.
  • When climbing up and down the sauna benches, please watch your step and be careful not to fall.
  • Do not place combustible materials (newspapers, magazines, cigarettes, etc. or flammable materials) near the sauna heater.

How to use sauna aroma for loyly

Sauna Inn’s original sauna aroma

A bottle of sauna aroma is available in the bathroom.
To use the sauna aroma bottle, fill the sauna bucket with hot water from the faucet in the bathroom (to avoid cooling the sauna stones) and add 2-3 pushes of aroma to thebucket.
You can use it as a loyly while enjoying the aroma.
💡 Point

We recommend that you do not add too much at the beginning, but rather adjust the strength of the aroma to your liking by observing each push.

Never bring a bottle of sauna aroma into the sauna room, as sauna aroma is flammable.

Precautions for handling sauna aroma for loyly
