As 2026 begins and a new fiscal year starts, it's time for "farewell and welcome parties," a time to say goodbye to valued colleagues and welcome new members. While drinking parties at izakayas like in the old days are wonderful, this year we're going to try something a little different and hold one in Asakusa.SAUNALAND ASAKUSASo why not try the special option of a "private wood-fired sauna"?
＼Perfect for team building in the new fiscal year!／
In the spring of 2026, the new form of team building will be around a wood fire.
In 2026, awareness of QOL (quality of life) and well-being has increased. Business social gatherings are evolving from "just a place to drink alcohol" to "a place to improve mind and body and deepen dialogue."
Why does "naked interaction" dramatically increase psychological safety?
The greatest advantage of a sauna is that it physically and psychologically breaks down barriers of position and age. By wearing swimsuits, sharing the same heat, and sweating together, honest conversations that wouldn't occur in a conference room are born. This is psychological safety within a team.(A state where everyone can speak freely and without fear)This fosters a smooth start to new projects.
Maintain productivity the next morning. "Healthy camaraderie" as chosen by business professionals.
For modern business professionals, "not having an impact the next day" is an important matter of etiquette. Unlike alcohol-centered gatherings, saunas regulate the autonomic nervous system and improve sleep quality. Both those being sent off and those welcoming them can start their new chapter feeling refreshed the next morning. This is the perfect way to celebrate a new beginning.
Why SAUNALAND ASAKUSA's "Private Rental for Large Groups" is Perfect for Welcome Parties
A rare find in Tokyo! The flickering flames of a wood-fired sauna help to relieve team tension.
SAUNALAND ASAKUSA's wood-fired sauna utilizes the 1/f fluctuations emitted by the wood fire.: The natural rhythm that evokes a sense of comfortIt guides the brain into a relaxed state. Unlike electric saunas, it provides a gentle, deep-penetrating warmth. The time spent chatting while gazing at the flickering flames will be etched more deeply in your memory than any expensive gift.
[Important] The second floor is a separate "accommodation facility".
Since sauna use is not an optional (additional) service, a separate accommodation reservation is required to use it. Groups wishing to stay overnight in Asakusa after experiencing the sauna on the first floor should also consider a separate accommodation plan.
