With the recent sauna boom, the number of crowded sauna facilities is increasing. ” came up with the idea. A private room rental sauna where you can immerse yourself in the sauna in a space just for yourself, like a “Zen” experience, where you can get rid of distractions and concentrate on “totoi” stoically.
The charm of “Pod Sauna” where you can immerse yourself in the sauna “Pod sauna” = “just a space where you can immerse yourself in the sauna” is a “noiseless minimal space” that cancels the noise that stimulates the five senses when you concentrate on the sauna. “Pod Sauna” is a private room, so you don’t have to worry about the surroundings such as noise and gaze. In addition, the lighting plan that avoids dazzling light sources, the operation of all ventilation and the reupholstery of the cold bath, etc. eliminate as much noise as possible to the five senses that hinder concentration in the sauna. For example, after using the noise canceling function of Bluetooth earphones, we aimed for an experience like “noticing everyday noise”. [Image 3

There are 4 types of private rooms that can be reserved. There are different sizes and layouts, and you can choose between a room with a cold bath or a cold shower. The sauna room has a curved bench that snuggles up to the body and a bench that can be leaned on, creating a beautiful space that envelops the entire room. All rooms can be heated, and you can experience the pleasure of being steamed while relaxing, wrapped in wood, heat and steam.
After “just immersing yourself in the sauna” in a noiseless minimal space, experience the feeling of resetting your mind and body and sharpening your sensibilities.
How to enjoy the noiseless minimal space and “Pod Sauna”
I had many discussions with the design team about “noiseless minimal space”. The sauna room, the bathroom, the toi space, and the washroom are hand-plastered by craftsmen to create a sense of unity, so that it is not just noiseless, but also has a high-quality minimalist feel that has been carefully crafted down to the smallest detail. While holding it, it is designed by dividing the function into each. For the sauna room, we repeatedly adjusted the plan in order to create an arrangement and structure that produced efficient heat circulation and intake/exhaust. I think that we were able to reproduce a noiseless and minimal space by designing in detail, such as concentrating as much as possible in the washroom facilities and functions that are necessary for the bathroom and other spaces, but are visible and interesting. Among them, the wooden bench in the sauna room has a unique curved shape, so we made a mock-up and made it all to order while checking the comfort of sitting. The ceiling and walls are plastered by craftsmen, and the lighting allows you to enjoy the natural imprint of the seal, imagining a state of slow steaming while slumbering. [Image 4

I have written a lot of details, but I don’t think about how to enjoy the “Pod Sauna”.
If I dare to suggest one thing, I recommend that you measure your heart rate and check the steaming condition.
For those who are new to sauna, we are planning a trial session where we will give a lecture on how to enjoy the sauna from the beginning. Sauna room details
