JAPAN'S BEST-DESIGNED SAUNAS
Introduction
Sauna and work in the same building
Shibuya SAUNAS is a three-storey building commissioned by Tokyu Land Corporation. The ground floor has a workspace and food and drink, and the sauna rooms and cold baths are upstairs.
Each of the nine sauna rooms is different. The official website calls it the ultimate space for “totonoi”.
01 · Sauna rooms
Nine rooms of different materials and light
There are nine sauna rooms. The kind of wood, the way light comes in and the shape of the benches change from room to room.
Men and women swap areas (west and east) on odd and even days.
02 · Cold bath and outdoor rest
An outdoor rest area among plants
There is a cold bath deep enough to submerge your head.
The outdoor rest area is planted with greenery and has stepped benches.
