Sauna is booming. Let's just say it. Saunas used to be a quiet pastime for the cognoscenti, but over the past few years, they have slowly been gaining popularity as a subculture, and this year, they have finally made it to the big time and are being featured in a variety of places.
A new concept of sauna and capsule hotel, "Sauna & Capsule Hotel" opened in Ebisu and is attracting a great deal of attention.Dosi (°C)I have experienced the "I have experienced the
The Dosi is operated by Dosi, an innovator in the capsule hotel business.Ninehours (9h ninehours)." The service is a "transit service specializing in sleep and sauna" and offers a minimalist and comfortable lodging experience.
You can choose between an overnight stay plus sauna, a sauna-only one-hour course, or a nap. Information is concise, and the tone and manner of the unified design is pleasant.
The wood grain design has a Finnish feel to it. It is operated by renovating a capsule hotel facility.
Capsule hotels have a unique and exciting atmosphere. The design, which brings the whole place together with a clean impression, is by Tsune Nagasaka of "Schema Architectural Planning".
A clean futon in a strangely relaxing space . It has all the features you need for a good night's sleep.
The facility is divided into separate capsule floors and saunas for men and women on each floor, which are accessed by elevators. Now, it is time to enter the sauna!
The enjoyment of sauna is concise and easy to understand, even for beginners. Sauna is very deep, so if you are interested, please Google the words "sauna conditioning" first.
The washroom is decorated with wood. The lockers are a little small , and those that do not fit are placed on the luggage rack.
The sauna is said to be in the Finnish tradition. The smell of the still new wood is pleasant. . The heat is blurring the picture, but here are some pictures of the inside of the sauna.
The sauna stones are exposed and mint water is poured over the stones to enjoy the sauna. Lowryu is a Finnish sauna bathing method. Water is poured over the heated sauna stones to generate steam, which raises the temperature and promotes perspiration. There are very few facilities that offer this service on a self-serve basis.
The wax is applied only once every 15 minutes. As soon as it is applied, you will feel the temperature of your body rise. The sauna temperature is around 90 degrees. Sweat is dripping down.
Here's another feature of the "dossier." For cool-down, instead of a water bath, a cold-water version of TOTO's Warm Pillar is used, in which a column of water with a controlled flow clings to the body and flows overhead.
You can choose your favorite water temperature from 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, or room temperature (natural tap water temperature), which changes with the seasons, and sit on a bench to relax and cool down. In the middle of winter, the room temperature water is cold, so those who are not accustomed to it should be careful!
The format of a lowru and cool down with warm pillar (cold water) is a departure from the conventional sauna experience. I didn't get that "I'm ready!" feeling. but it is very different from the usual sauna and water bath session, and I think it is worth studying.
Conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Ebisu Station , simple and stylish design and unique sauna. It may be "just right" for today's busy people. Weekend accommodations seem to be filling up with reservations, so please contact us if you plan to stay overnight. Let's enjoy a sauna life that each of us can enjoy in our own way!
