As people walk the streets in thicker clothing, and the crisp winter air envelops the streets of Asakusa, do you find yourself unconsciously hunching your shoulders due to the cold, experiencing poor circulation, chronic fatigue, or autonomic nervous system imbalances?

Some people may feel that they tend to avoid saunas when it gets cold, but from the perspective of thermophysiology, this is undoubtedly the season when saunas are most effective. Located in a quiet alley in AsakusaSAUNALAND ASAKUSAThis is a completely private space featuring the gentle heat of an authentic wood-fired sauna and a warm bath where you can comfortably immerse yourself up to your shoulders. This time, we will introduce a scientifically proven method of achieving a state of deep relaxation that you should experience especially during the cold season, and the allure of a luxurious sauna date spent with your loved one.

The cold season is the golden age for saunas. The physiology of warm bathing: warming your body from the core.

Why do we experience such a special sense of euphoria and deep refreshment when we enter a sauna during the colder seasons? The answer lies in the dynamic physiological mechanisms of the relationship between the outside temperature and blood vessels.

Alternating hot and cold baths reset vasoconstriction and autonomic nervous system imbalances caused by low temperatures.

In the cold outdoors, the body activates the sympathetic nervous system to prevent heat loss, causing peripheral blood vessels to constrict tightly. This is the direct cause of "cold hands and feet" and "muscle stiffness." By performing alternating hot and cold baths—forcibly dilating blood vessels with the heat stimulation of a sauna, followed by a cool-down and exposure to fresh air—the autonomic nervous system's ability to switch between hot and cold is restored. Warm blood circulates to the capillaries throughout the body, releasing stiffness and tension.

The deep heating effect provided by the "far-infrared rays" unique to wood fires, which cannot be reached by electric heating.

When choosing a sauna in winter, the "quality of heat" is the decisive factor. Typical electric stove saunas heat the air directly, which tends to dry out the room and make it difficult to breathe as only the surface of the skin gets hot. In contrast, our facility's proud "wood-burning stove" emits abundant far-infrared rays as the wood burns. Far-infrared rays reach deep into the skin and slowly generate heat from the core of the body (deep body temperature), resulting in a surprisingly easy breathing experience while providing a sustained warming effect that prevents you from getting cold even after leaving the sauna.
