About this facility

Sauna Base SHIFUKU is an outdoor sauna set in the natural surroundings of Toyota, Aichi Prefecture. In a private space, you can enjoy a wood-fired sauna while listening to the murmur of the river and the songs of wild birds. The high-temperature setting reaches over 100°C, and the cold river right in front is used for outdoor cooling, helping you reach "totonoi" (the deeply refreshed state saunagoers seek). You can come empty-handed: towels and swimsuits are available to rent, you may bring your own food and drink, and barbecue sets are sold on site. It accommodates anyone from solo visitors to large groups.
