About this place

A small private sauna in Azusagawa, Matsumoto, taking only three groups a day. A wood-burning stove heats the room, and you cool down outside in the breeze from the river. The firewood comes from forest thinning in the local mountains.

What you can do here

  • Book it all to yourselves
  • Enjoy a wood-fired sauna
  • Rest in the river breeze

From the staff

Only three groups a day. Warm up by the wood-burning stove, then rest in the breeze off the river. Take your time doing nothing at all.
Miyasaka, the owner

Why this place supports social causes

We buy our firewood from trees cleared while caring for the local mountain forests. I hope that the more people come to the sauna, the longer that care can carry on.

From the place
