In Japan, the word “Sa-katsu,” meaning a sauna activity, was born and has been very popular.
At SHITARA VILLAGE, we have introduced authentic Finnish saunas, so you can enjoy a great outdoor sauna activity in nature.
About saunas
What is a sauna?
Sauna originated as a type of a steam bath designed to promote a healthier body by sweating in a hot room and improving metabolism.
In general, wood benches surround a sauna stove that keeps the sauna room at a high temperature of 80 ~ 100 degrees.
At SHITARA VILLAGE, you can enjoy a popular barrel sauna as an outdoor sauna activity and relax on Infinity Chair creating a luxurious atmosphere.
What is “Totonou”?
To achieve the feeling of “Totonou” in a sauna, there are three steps: sweating in the sauna room, cooling the body’s surface in a cold bath, and relaxing outside to get fresh air (Rest).
By repeating this process, it gradually warms your body from within, clears your mind, and allows you to have a sense of happiness, eventually leading to the feeling of “Totonou.”
At SHITARA VILLAGE, you can feel a gentle relaxing breeze and enjoy the “Totonou” experience.
