Barrel saunas, which are said to originate in Scandinavia, are barrel-shaped saunas, and their shape has the characteristic of keeping the heat inside the room even.

This allows heat waves to circulate evenly during the Louryu, and there are more glamping facilities that are installed to allow you to enjoy the sauna in a comfortable environment.

The sauna and cold bath are open for one group (up to four people) per hour between 3:30pm and 22:30pm, and advance reservations and wearing swimsuits are required.

You can spend time with your pet-friendly tent, but the rule is to wear etiquette pants or something similar to prevent the inside of the tent from getting dirty.

Pet amenities include adhesive crocoro rollers, urine sheets (2 pieces), gauges, rice and water bowls, deodorizing sprays, and wet sheets, but it's a good idea to bring your usual bedding, toys and snacks from home.
