A sauna date sounds appealing, doesn't it? But many people hesitate to take the plunge, thinking things like, "It's my first time, I don't know what to expect," or "Will I make my date feel uncomfortable?"
It's okay. With just a few tips, a sauna date can become a very pleasant time that naturally brings you and your partner closer together.
This article will introduce five tips for a successful first sauna date, along with information about SAUNALAND ASAKUSA, a private wood-fired sauna in Asakusa.
5 tips to avoid failure on your first sauna date
POINT 01Choose a "private" option so you can relax without worrying about other people's eyes.
A first-time sauna experience can be unfamiliar, both in terms of etiquette and atmosphere. The presence of other customers can make it difficult to relax and enjoy your time. However, a private sauna allows you to enjoy conversation and relaxation at your own pace.
SAUNALAND ASAKUSA is a completely private facility. You and your partner can enjoy the sauna, cold plunge pool, hot plunge pool, and outdoor relaxation area at your leisure.
POINT 02Make sure to hydrate and time your meals properly before entering.
Saunas can put a strain on your body if you're too hungry, too full, or have been drinking alcohol. It's best to eat a light meal and drink plenty of fluids before and after your sauna session.
You can purchase any drink you like to suit your mood that day. Choosing a drink together after the sauna is one of the pleasures of your stay. Swimsuits are available for rent for 600 yen.
POINT 03Don't push yourself too hard; adjust to your partner's pace.
The basic routine involves warming up in the sauna, cooling down in a cold bath, and then relaxing in the fresh air outside. Repeat this cycle several times. For your first time, start with a shorter session, and if you feel it's too hot or uncomfortable, leave immediately.
People perceive things differently. Rather than urging them to "try a little harder," it's best to respect their pace. That's the most considerate thing you can do.
POINT 04Relax and enjoy watching the fire in the wood-burning stove.
This sauna, with its wood-burning stove, is a rare find in Tokyo. Just watching the flickering flames has a strangely calming effect. The sauna room is meticulously designed for air circulation, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity that doesn't feel stuffy. Even a short time will leave you sweating profusely and warming you to the core.
There's no need to force yourself to keep the conversation going. Spending time quietly gazing at the fire is a luxury unique to a sauna date.
POINT 05Make a reservation with plenty of time to spare.
Changing clothes and taking breaks can take more time than you might expect for your first sauna experience. To avoid feeling rushed, choose a time slot that allows you ample time. You can choose between 120-minute and 150-minute sessions. Check availability.Reservation pageYou can check it anytime, so once your plans are set, please take a look as soon as possible.
The location is just a 2-minute walk from Asakusa Station, a 2-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple, and a 1-minute walk from Nakamise Street. We recommend exploring Asakusa before or after your sauna session.
