청주온천스파

It's nice that it's not crowded and you can enjoy the sauna peacefully. However, it was a bit confusing because some people wore masks and others didn't (even the staff). It was great to go to a public bath for the first time in three years since the pandemic started, get a scrub, and use the sauna, but I think they scrubbed my stomach area too hard during the body scrubbing... it turned all red the next day. That was a bit of a shame. It's also a little disappointing that the steam room isn't operating yet and there are still a few areas that aren't running. The food at the cafeteria was delicious, though! Oh, I bought something at the snack bar labeled as "Pomegranate Tea," but I wish they had labeled it "Pomegranate Red Vinegar" haha. The Sikhye (sweet rice drink) is tasty though! There was also a downside to the baths. Since I like outdoor baths, I went there when I saw it, and while the water was warm and nice, it was only half full on the first day... Fortunately, it was full the next day, so I soaked in it thoroughly before leaving.

It costs 1,500 KRW per person for 24 hours. The facility offers a variety of amenities, including a jjimjilbang, a large public bath with five types of saunas and an open-air bath, a nap room, and a restaurant. Towels are not required. Shampoo and other amenities are not provided. The medicinal baths and hot springs were excellent. Highly recommended if you want to experience authentic jjimjilbang.

The water is clean and good. There are many different types of baths, and they're spacious. The showers are also hot spring water, which is really nice. The hot water is kept at 43 degrees Celsius and the cold water at 17 degrees Celsius, so you can enjoy a proper hot and cold bath! I think it's the pride of Chungju. I love it!!! I'll be back again next time!!!

The jjimjilbang isn't hot, but the kiln on the first floor is the hottest. There's a kids' playground on the first floor, and the bath is large, so it's good to go with kids. There are always a lot of people, but the open-air bath is nice, so I go often.

The kids' play area and cafeteria are open only on weekends. The staff are friendly and it's open on weekdays. Even if the cafeteria is closed, you can still buy drinks, snacks, and smoked eggs from the shop or vending machines.
