In recent years, a sauna boom has swept Japan, with unique saunas springing up all over the country.
Each location has its own unique charm, from Hokkaido (Niseko, Tokachi, Shiretoko) surrounded by magnificent nature, to Nagano (Hakuba, Karuizawa) on the highlands where you can enjoy outdoor bathing, to Hakone where you can combine a sauna with a hot spring, to stylish saunas renovated from Kyoto's traditional townhouses, to Osaka and Tokyo with their abundant urban saunas, to Okinawa and its remote islands where you can feel the sea breeze blowing through.
Furthermore, popular destinations for sauna enthusiasts include Shikiji (Shizuoka), WellBe (Nagoya, Fukuoka), Sauna Tokyo (Tokyo), and the outdoor saunas in Niseko.
From stylish urban saunas to outdoor saunas surrounded by forests and snowy landscapes, Japan's sauna experience is diverse and profound, offering exquisite relaxation for both body and mind.
