Facility overview (provided by the operator)
The sauna at Washin Village is wood-fired: you add logs yourself to adjust the heat. A wood-fired sauna can take time to warm up, and it may operate on a reservation basis at busy times. Please confirm the current conditions with the official contact before booking. This paragraph is information provided by the operator, not a review statistic.
