In the Japanese bath, stillness and tranquility prevail. Here, you move slowly, speak in a low tone, and take the time to let your senses rest. No mobile phones, just you and the soothing water. In the outdoor hot springs, you gaze over the pine trees and the Stockholm inlet, and at specific times, we have silent half-hours in these springs where the only sounds you hear are those of nature and water. You wear your yukata and the swimwear we provide you, as we aim to create an environment with fewer stimuli to calm the senses. All to help you unwind and replenish your energy.
In 2018, we opened our brand new Japanese bathhouse. The basic concept is still the same, but now an even more Japanese and relaxing environment awaits you with more places to relax.
In the Japanese ablution room, you sit on a small wooden stool and wash yourself. This is a moment in silence for you to unwind and get ready to really let go. After the ritual of washing yourself, hot springs under the pines awaits you as well as a number of other opportunities for relaxation, such as a steam salt sauna, carbonated bath, cold springs, rest sauna and more that should just be experienced rather than described. Before you visit us, we ask you to take part of the information about the different parts of our Japanese bath, scroll down and read more.
Remember to put your phone on silent mode. To truly enjoy the experience, it's a good idea to leave your mobile phone in the room or in your locker.
Bath opening hours:
Monday - Friday 8 a.m - 10.30 p.m
Saturday - Sunday 8 a.m - 10.30 p.m

Wash yourself in silence. You get 1 bath towel and 2 small washcloths for washing. Once inside the washing room, you will find pallets and switches in front of cranes. You wash yourself naked. Put one of the small towels on the stool, sit down. You fill the wodden bucket and pour water over you again and again and again. When you feel that you are starting to wind down, you slowly start to recover. Moisten the washcloth and put soap on it (everything is inside; soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion) and wash yourself. It is important that the whole body is clean before the bath. When you have finished washing, you show respect for the guests who come after you, by setting up the change on the stool again. Now it's the soul's turn and you can sink into the hot springs. In the washing rooms you will find hot springs and a dry sauna and here is the opportunity for those who want to be naked. Then you put on your swimwear and go out to the bathhouse.
