풍림24시불가마사우나

This is a sauna in Gongdeok-dong. Before COVID-19, there was a kiln there, so I used it occasionally, but now I only use the sauna. However, the massage is really good. The price is competitive compared to Jamwon-dong, around 20,000 won. Best of all, they also offer massages for those feeling unwell, so it might be a good idea to try them together. Parking used to be free, but now it's only free for the first hour, and then 1,000 won for every 30 minutes. It's still relatively cheap, so don't worry about it.

At the reception, you are given a piece of paper with a number on it, and you put your shoes in the shoe locker with that number, then use the key to access the locker with the same number in the changing room. Early on a Sunday morning, in the rest area in front of the jjimjilbang, many guests from Saturday night are still fast asleep. In the bath, energetic halmonis are chatting. The facility is relatively clean, so you can relax.

Unlike other bathhouses, this one has an event bath and a medicinal bath (!). The medicinal bath has a strong herbal scent, perhaps because they've added so much herbal medicine. The event bath has a different scent every day, so it's best to check in advance and plan your visit accordingly. It's the perfect place to soak.

Siloam Jjimjilbang is gone in Seoul Station, so I go here. They have a herbal medicine bath, the facilities are clean, the sauna is always warm, and there is a basic cold bath plus an even colder cold bath. I go to the sauna and go there. The inflammatory pain goes away, and there is a parking lot, so it's nice.

I came from far away to this sauna, it was half past eleven at night. An elderly woman from Khanka was standing behind the counter, she showed me the time and said no, she wouldn’t let me in for the night, she was unfriendly.
