About Sauna

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.
