Only ever been in a sauna once, never enjoyed the experience. Hot springs on the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed, I suppose it all depends on what temperature you can endure at the end of the day.
They saunas look exceptionally hot, so will leave it for you to enjoy. Thanks for taking us on a visit to another unusual place in your region.
When I first started using saumas, I didn't know what I was doing and didnt like it as much. It's stramge that it takes time to learn and appreciate.
This place is definitely not for beginners or people who don't really like saunas. I epuld recommend somewhere else more beginner, typical spa, or family fun appropriate.
Nice quiet river or stream, the sea anywhere cool. Not using any hot water in summer months reminds me of enjoying the outdoors under the shower. No the heat is not something I like at all.... Been, tried and tested.

What an interesting and incredible post. You put a ton of work into this one to transport us to this strangely unique place. I love the part where you say...
I like to go to the hot room for a minute just to 'be a man'.
I’ve done stuff with this phrase in mind and never had any luck looking or feeling more like a man. Just looked and felt foolish. I must not be doing it right!! Haha. Really though, great post! Thanks for showing me this cool place!!!
During my attempt to feel like a man, I put my finger against a burni ng hot nail and still have a mark where it burned my skim, lol...definitely backfired.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad I was able to share the experience. I'll be going back there.
Fascinating place. Makes me think about kilns slightly differently from the brick works and pottery kilns in the village. Actually, I should write about the latter at some stage. Or both.
Two things got me in your post:
a mud slave
Really? Slave?
personally I like the 60~70C room for the long sweat
We are in the throes of a heatwave of between 35 and 40+C, so I think I'll leave it to you.
We done have any traditional pottery kiln villages here, but there are places that specialize in pottery and cwramics. The pots to make kimchi and soy sauce in are huge! I image it would look similar.
I was inspired by the mud slave from images I saw of peasants hauling 'night soil' at the toilet museum a couple weeks earlier. I would imagine pottery workers were more skilled artisans actually. That actually wasn't even a sauna employee, lol.
I can't stand the summer. It rarely gets over 30 here. But this week it has been really cold at around -8C. Perfect for a hot sauna or bath.

I've used steam rooms and saunas for years at the gyms. I like the saunas better, but I do like the steam rooms once in awhile. I think this might be a bit too hot and dry for me. I've done the straight from the sauna into a cold bath thing and it is invigorating. Great post and great photos!
I also prefer saunas to steam rooms. I find it hard to breathe in steam rooms. Also, unless they are really clean, they smell bad. Usually, when I go to a place a lot, I try to figure out the cleaning schedule and head there just after it is cleaned which tends to be either early morning or late at night.
Going into the cold pool or lake after is great. Usually, we have a frigid waterfall shower to rinse in first.
Some of the saunas aren't so hot. Beginners should start off in the beginner ones, lol. There are temperatures for everyone. That said, I would visit a less hardcore spa the first time.
I am still deciding to cancel my trip as the cost for quitting won't be any higher for a few more days. I am waiting for a travel ban in hopes I can get a better refund, lol.
During the winter, I used to visit the bath houses once or twice a week (now maybe once a week). During the summer I would visit when I had really bad hangovers or I was travelling and wanted to relax for a few hours or get a quick sleep after a late night bus or train. It's amazing what one or two hours in the baths do to you, much better than a quick nap.
While I know I would hate every single minute I spent in one of these, I really enjoyed reading this post. I had no idea such places even existed. Not for everyone! Are there health benefits? Do you think you feel cleaner because you have detoxified some? Very interesting post.
There is definitely a difference between a bath and a shower. Think about the different cycles in the washing machine.
Charcoal is used in aquariums and water filtration because it is well known to absorb harmful toxins down to the molecular level.
Sweating has long been practiced as being good for the skin.
Adding various herbs to the water allows your skin to absorb the nutrients and helps sooth.
I'm not sure about the actual science and I don't trust all the claims of certain bath salts or herbs especially when they are amazingly specific. I'm even more dubious about the crystal rooms or the difference of being in a clay sauna vs something just made from concrete. The heat enters via induction and there is no smoke so how does the type of wood fuel burned make any difference? The water is naturally heated instead of via a stove, how does this make any difference? Doubtful.
However, I've been in there hungover after a night of no sleep and 90min in there was much better than say a 6-hour sleep. I always walk out of these places feeling much cleaner and better than walking in.
I definitely can understand that clay lined would be healthier than concrete lined, even just for respiration. I've seen the benefits and harms of what we put on our skin or allow to pass through our skins and go by the motto "if I wouldn't put it in my mouth I won't put it on my body." The skin is part of the respiratory system, so essentially you are getting some excellent breathing done in there. I have hated every sauna or steam bath I ever took - I feel like I can not breathe in either of them - and now I wonder if it wasn't because of the materials they had been made from.
I've seen the benefits and harms of what we put on our skin or allow to pass through our skins and go by the motto "if I wouldn't put it in my mouth I won't put it on my body."
I pretty much agree with this except I find the taste of soap and shaving foam to be unpleasant.
I do think a lot of the saunas especially in public gyms are not very good. They are more an ammenity than the main attraction. There are Turkish baths, Sweedish saunas, Russian Banyas, Korean and Japanese baths in a lot of major cities. I would recommend going to a place that specializes in being the best.
What an adventure @abitcoinskeptic! Do you use these saunas/hot springs often? I know it is so good for your health, you'll feel younger :) I would stay away from those areas affected with the virus, scary stuff!
I go about once a week, especially during winter. During the summer I generally go when my muscle ache for whatever reason such as climbing a mountain or exercising a lot.
Whoop whoop after the toilet blog now this one, I am jealous I love it I would spent the whole day there. I just like to know does it smell like earth or mint like a normal sauna ?
Those saunas don't smell much because all the charcoal absorbs molecules that smell. I guess there is a bit of an earthy feeling, but maybe it's more the absence of smell that I'm 'smelling'. Some saunas hang herbs, but not these types. Some of the baths have bags of various herbal teas in there. One of the outdoor baths has a very pungent herb in there that smells earthy.
The smell I usually associate with sauna is cedar or pine as that is the wood that is commonly used for the floor. However, even with wood, this place doesn't smell.
Well there were no saunas in my boxing days and we were wrapped in plastic on our training runs that made one sweat profusely.
On the other hand we have a few hot springs in the country and I have been to two of them. But never in a sauna.
I wonder how shriveled a guy would look if they forgot about him and he had to spend a night inside one of those kilns Lol.
A great post my friend!
Blessings!
I'm surprised there were no saunas where you lived. I guess any hot room can be considered a sauna and the main reason is to sweat, so whatever works. I can imagine there would be a lot of nice hotsprings, especially with all the minerals in South Africa. I usually visit any natural one I'm passing by and have been to dozens in a few different countries.
I wouldn't want to spend a few minutes in the hottest one. Overnight would surely be fatal. I read somewhere, we are 97% water, so I guess the maximum would be losing 97% our weight. That's really shrivelled.
I think saunas only started here in the 80s my friend, but I stand corrected. Before that we had steam rooms.
Sweating in Africa is easy because of our hot African sun. Some days you can bake an egg on a flat top rock in the sun Lol
There are 87 documented natural hot springs in South Africa.
I have been to one in the south and one in the north of the country.
You are correct as no one could survive a night in one of those kilns.
Blessings!
It's really common to find them at gyms and indoor public pools in Canada. However, those are usually low quality. The ones at spas tend to be much better.
Interesting. I have never been in a sauna. I've always been skinny and we do not have a tradition of public baths or the like.
There are some natural thermal waters but no one would bathe baked. It is just not in our culture to provide those facilities.
I did not know those places could work 24hs.
It is interesting how this cutlure is more popular in some areas than others. I do frequent them more in the winter, so I guess since your country is tropical, it would be less common there. This particular sauna isn't 24 hours, but a lot of them are, especially in areas near bus stations. It's particularly nice if you have a few extra hours and really need to relax. I like going before I need to make important decisions.
Howdy sir abitcoinskeptic! This is such an interesting and educational post, I didn't know there were such things as hardcore bathers. lol. That place is definitely hardcore! It's great for detoxification right?
There are hardcore bathers in some of the nordic countries, Russia, Turkey, Japan and Korea.
The various types of minerals in the water and in some tubs additives definitely help with detoxification. In a shower you are just rinsing and hopefully cleansing with soap. You are not really soaking as in a tub or sweating as in a sauna. I'll come out of them a couple lbs lighter...
I know that there are Korea style saunas in towns and cities with large Korean populations. Texas probably has some in DFW area. Natural hot springs in the US tend to be located close to mountains, I guess they are in some areas of Texas too since it is so huge!
Awesome tour, @abitcoinskeptic! That's amazing that there is so much heat everywhere and so many hot surfaces. Here in the states, we are terribly fearful of injuries and law suits, so everything that could possibly be hazardous is restricted in some way so the public doesn't have access! There is no trust that people will actually read warning signs. Or perhaps there is a fear that people will do something stupid to win a law suit and get money. I don't know.
It's really too bad about the coronavirus and the impact it is having on so many people. I hope you don't come into contact and that everything calms down soon. It will be really good to see that trajectory start to decline. I heard today that well over 600 people have died, including the doctor who originally tried to warn authorities of the virus and the risks.
I also feel these places would be sued out of existence in America. The same thing has already happened to amusement parks and playgrounds. They are no longer exciting.
I also hope coronavirus stops soon. The story of the doctor was really sad.
It really is. I heard there was a lot of outrage that the authorities wouldn’t take it seriously and protect the citizens but I know the news can over-inflate things. I just hope they get it contained and the virus spread begins to taper off soon.
25/50,000,000 caught it in Korea in the past 2 weeks. Most of those people visited China recently or live with people who did.
None of the people in Korea who caught the virus have symptoms that can be described as serious. 2 victims have already fully recovered. Getting the flu really sucks, but for the most part it isn't something we should be panicking over. We are almost certain to have a lot of economic damage because of our attitude. In the end the economic consequences will probably end up being the biggest issue.
I agree completely. It's not that we shouldn't be alarmed and take precautions. In fact, I think it's great that it is actually being taken very seriously. The flu can be very serious. But my understanding from some of the level-headed news I've read is that those who have died from it have primarily been older people and those with weakened immune systems, which means the average person really does have a strong chance of recovering. It is not the plague, in other words. It is definitely having a huge economic toll.
I've also read for the most part it is sick people who are falling ill. The issue is it can evolve and adapt to become much worse. Let's hope it's just overreacting.
Ah don't cancel! It's worth it! I keep hearing about Beppu from a friend who lives there....makes me want to move ther.e Tell me next time you are in town
I've been to beppu before. I go to relax, nit to panic about being stuck in a quarantine facility.
Too late =/
Actually the amount of infections in Korea and Japan are currently soaring so I'd rather just hunker down for awhile.
I’m in Japan, no one seems to care much, but then again, they don’t panic til they panic. There hasn’t been anything exponential in Japan. There is one troubling case of a guy who rode the subway without a mask.
I think Korea is going to get a lot worse from today.
Probably smart just cause no one knows but I think eventually they are just going to let this spread everywhere once they are sure it’s not worse than the flu and it’s doing major damage to economies. I mean. I prefer we all stay home for two weeks, meh
I'm not in quarantine yet, but I'm worried it will hallen if Intravel aboard. My boss will get really annoied.
As far as I know most cases in Japan are on the same boat. Just bad timing really.
In Korea it started going exponential a couple days ago and we jumped from 31 on wednesday morning to 156 now, so people are freaking out a little. Everyone is wearing masks, too.
I agree the damage is mostly economy because the people dying are the same people (old amd weak) who die from the normal flu or pneumonia.
It may be smart to put off the trip but I hope you make it out here! In 2 years maybe I’ll live in Beppu...trying to set up a business that I can run remotely in Tokyo first
Setting up a remote business is the dream. I usually try to go to Beppu in late winter so I can drop by the sake festival in Fukuoka. If you are blogging about it here, maybe we can meet up there for a cup of sake, lol.

So who's Mr. Sunshine HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
What an epic place! Love the fact that it is all natural, that just makes it extra special.
There are normal people? :D
That's my special bath time friend ;)
This place is pretty epic. The problem is they are always in light industrial zones in the outer suburbs amd quite hard to get to for tourists.
I've only found a handful like it, especially combined with the fancy natural water.
Acrually I felt abnormally clean for a couple days after my visit. Normal people use showers at their home I guess.
lol at "abnormally clean" hehe! and yes on the showers. Cannot remember when last I took a bath.
Only ever been in a sauna once, never enjoyed the experience. Hot springs on the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed, I suppose it all depends on what temperature you can endure at the end of the day.

lol, that's a good reason to go!
If getting clean is the goal, I agree!
Understandable with the photos in the sauna hahah. Never tried sauna before but you seem to have had a very relaxing and clean experience.
Saunas are great. I guess they aren't too popular in the Philippines. However, I'm sure you have great hot springs in some areas.
Thanks for sharing your experience at this amazing spa. I don’t think I could take the heat! Lol.
Take care when travelling @abitcoinskeptic with this Corona Virus active.

Increible. Un lugar fantástico para aquellos que necesiten terápias de calor o requiera los beneficos del carbón.
Un gran saludo, @abitcoinskeptic
Thank you! Charcoal is a natural filter of many harmful chemicals.
What an interesting place! I am sure it did take you quite some time to write this post and document your experience. Thank you!
Thank You~ I had a good time writing it and even a better time going there ;)
I gotta admit, sleeping in a bath house isn't something I would have considered before today.
That must be a really neat place to go. Do you get there often?
During the winter, I used to visit the bath houses once or twice a week (now maybe once a week).

I agree completely. It's not that we shouldn't be alarmed and take precautions. In fact, I think it's great that it is actually being taken very seriously. The flu can be very serious. But my understanding from some of the level-headed news I've read is that those who have died from it have primarily been older people and those with weakened immune systems, which means the average person really does have a strong chance of recovering. It is not the plague, in other words. It is definitely having a huge economic toll.
I've also read for the most part it is sick people who are falling ill. The issue is it can evolve and adapt to become much worse. Let's hope it's just overreacting.
Ah don't cancel! It's worth it! I keep hearing about Beppu from a friend who lives there....makes me want to move ther.e Tell me next time you are in town
I've been to beppu before. I go to relax, nit to panic about being stuck in a quarantine facility.
Too late =/
Actually the amount of infections in Korea and Japan are currently soaring so I'd rather just hunker down for awhile.
You are stuck in quarantine!?
I’m in Japan, no one seems to care much, but then again, they don’t panic til they panic. There hasn’t been anything exponential in Japan. There is one troubling case of a guy who rode the subway without a mask.
I think Korea is going to get a lot worse from today.
Probably smart just cause no one knows but I think eventually they are just going to let this spread everywhere once they are sure it’s not worse than the flu and it’s doing major damage to economies. I mean. I prefer we all stay home for two weeks, meh
I'm not in quarantine yet, but I'm worried it will hallen if Intravel aboard. My boss will get really annoied.
As far as I know most cases in Japan are on the same boat. Just bad timing really.
In Korea it started going exponential a couple days ago and we jumped from 31 on wednesday morning to 156 now, so people are freaking out a little. Everyone is wearing masks, too.
I agree the damage is mostly economy because the people dying are the same people (old amd weak) who die from the normal flu or pneumonia.
It may be smart to put off the trip but I hope you make it out here! In 2 years maybe I’ll live in Beppu...trying to set up a business that I can run remotely in Tokyo first
Setting up a remote business is the dream. I usually try to go to Beppu in late winter so I can drop by the sake festival in Fukuoka. If you are blogging about it here, maybe we can meet up there for a cup of sake, lol.
Maybe we can meet in quarantine ;-). Next year sounds nice and realistic !
