Gajisan Carbonated Sulfur Hot Spring
I absolutely hope you never go there... I understand the building is old and worn. But shouldn't the shower, mirror, and towels at least be replaced? I think it feels like it's been used for 10 years. The most crucial thing is that it says "carbonated yuhwamon spring," but where on earth is carbonated and where is sulfur spring? I tried all the cold, hot, and lukewarm baths to check, but it's a complete scam. They're charging 7,000 won, while nearby ones are 6,000 won. Honestly, I feel bad even writing this, but I'm writing it in case there are other victims.
When I got into the bath, honestly, it was like hot spring water!! It didn't feel like that, but I showered thinking it was hot spring water. There were four baths: hot, cold, and lukewarm. I personally preferred the lukewarm. It was lukewarm yet refreshing, and it felt great. Haha. The sauna was also really warm and nice. The only disappointment was that I got there a little after 4 p.m., which was a bit late for the closing time, but there was so much dead skin cells and hair floating around in the bath, which was a bit disappointing.
It appeared that the facility was not currently open for business due to maintenance of the baths and the operator's circumstances, but is scheduled to open in February. The facilities looked quite dilapidated from prolonged operation, and the parking lot surface seemed to require maintenance. We moved to Ganwoljae Hot Springs because it seemed to have a better reputation in the area, and I heard that a new hot spring is scheduled to open around February. I hope you can fully relieve your travel fatigue there.
There are four baths: cold, lukewarm, warm, and hot. They say they use hot spring water, and I felt good after leaving the bath and letting it air dry. You have to purchase shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but soap, a washcloth, and towels are provided. In terms of value, at 8,000 won, it's a very average bath for the price.
It looks like it's from the 90s. The facilities are old and seem to be completely unmaintained. Many showers don't even have hot water, and the prices are high. This is the first time I've seen a place selling hand towels for 1,500 won. If they don't remodel, I don't think I'll be back.
