화정원

Available for use for one month at 8000W. Separated into two sections: treadmills, cycles, and weights/machines. Clothing and towels are available for rental. You only need to bring your own shoes. There are noticeable signs on the machines saying they're out of order, but you'll still be able to get a full workout. It's mainly used during the day so it's not too crowded, and is closed every Sunday.

It is exactly the same as it used to be. It feels like a sauna from the 2000s... It feels like the bathhouse I used to go to holding my mom's hand... The ladies are very friendly... (Based on the women's section: It is crowded even on weekday mornings. They keep applying things to their bodies in the sauna... The water isn't great, but if you want to soak your body... it's worth going...)

First off, the facilities are clean and nice. Located in the heart of Donghae City, it's highly recommended for tourists. The bathhouse seems well-maintained. Despite its size, it was clean and the amenities were conveniently laid out. I could feel the care put into it. After a pleasant bath, I slept comfortably.

At Donghae Station, buses stop running before 10:25 AM. Many buses pass by until that time. Until 12 PM, it's 7,000 won, and after 12 PM, it's 8,000 won. Whether it's peak or off-peak season, Saturdays are crowded, making it difficult to sleep. There aren't many other days of the week.

The bathhouse is open 24 hours. Travelers have to buy every bar of soap. Even though I went at 6 a.m., the water was dirty, and the washbasins and chairs weren't cleaned, which made me feel dirty. FYI, the basic wash fee is 25,000 won, which is more expensive than in Seoul.
