MOTOYAMA SAUNA, a high-quality private sauna in a hotel-like space in the Motoyama area.

MOTOYAMA SAUNA is a luxurious, completely private sauna located in the Motoyama area, where the entire city has a high-class atmosphere (advance reservations required). There are 6 private sauna rooms, 3 for men and women, so you can enjoy your own relaxing time.

Our concept is ``pursuing beauty,'' and we only use carefully selected high-quality amenities. We have received tremendous support from women as well.

Create a special feeling from the entrance

The wallpaper at the entrance is imported cloth from the British company Sanderson.

Right outside exit 5 of Motoyama subway station. When I pounded open the flawless blue door, an elegant entrance opened out.

Three types of "John masters organics" essential oils are available

When you tell them your reservation name, the staff will arrange three types of essential oils on the table at the counter.

Each has different effects, such as ``makes you feel positive,'' ``increases concentration,'' and ``increases relaxation.'' After checking the scent, choose the essential oil that matches your mood that day.

I grabbed a basket of amenities and headed to the room I had reserved.

All hair care, body care, and skin care amenities are from the cosmetics brand "John Masters Organics," which uses carefully selected organic and natural ingredients. One 500ml bottle of mineral water will also be provided (two bottles for the 120-minute course).

The original sauna hat is also on sale for 4,800 yen.

This time, we also rented an original sauna hat made from Imabari towels for 500 yen. The fluffy fabric and natural feel may be the ideal sauna hat! ?

From changing clothes to taking a sauna bath, to Totono
Everything can be completed in a private room space

The men's area is located in a separate room just outside the reception area. Furthermore, expectations are only increasing as the feeling of a "secret base" increases.

Then, open the door of the room you reserved this time! There are reclining chairs, showers, and a sauna room at the very back. Enough space to change clothes comfortably.

All three rooms for men are the same size and have the same price (80 minute course: 5,500 yen, 120 minute course: 7,500 yen). It cannot be used by multiple people, so it is truly a luxurious space just for you.

"Senshu Towel" produced in Osaka Prefecture is counted as one of "Japan's three major towels" along with Imabari Towel from Ehime Prefecture, Senshu Towel from Osaka Prefecture, and Oboro Towel from Mie Prefecture.

Each room is equipped with ``Senshu Towel'', one of the three major brands of Japanese towels. This is a custom-made item that was created from scratch and dyed in MOTOYAMA SAUNA's original color.

It has excellent texture and absorbency, and is so comfortable that you'll want to bury your face in it. All amenities are impeccable.

A wooden pillow is also provided so you can lie down.

Uses a sauna heater made by Finland's HARVIA, which has the world's No. 1 market share.

Now, let's enter the sauna room!

The first thing I admire is its spaciousness. It's an elegant feeling to be able to monopolize the large sauna room that can accommodate four people at the same time without worrying about what others might see (I tend to end up sitting on the edge out of habit).

It is OK to lie down, and wooden pillows are also provided. It's spacious enough for even tall men to lie down comfortably. Perhaps due to the excellent ventilation function, I was able to stay in the room for a relatively long time without experiencing any difficulty breathing.

Speakers are installed in the sauna room and rest area. You can also connect your smartphone or music player via Bluetooth and play your favorite music that you always listen to.

Add a few drops of the essential oil selected at the front desk to the water to create aroma water.

The great thing about private saunas is that you can self-roll at any time you like.

The temperature of the sauna room is set at 90℃ for men and 85℃ for women. The advantage of a private sauna is that you can self-route at your own timing, and you can easily adjust the humidity.

When you pour aromatic water onto the sauna stone, the perceived temperature will rise significantly, and at the same time, the aromatic scent will spread throughout the room. Since I checked the scent myself first before choosing it, it had an outstanding relaxing effect.

There is no cold bath, but the shower that releases water from three directions is comfortable and will help you cool down quickly.

Relax in a reclining chair and listen to your favorite music as background music. It's truly a blissful time where no one will disturb you. 80 minutes may seem like a long time, but it goes by so quickly.

Mini room for women available at a reasonable price

The rest chair in the women's mini room comes with an ottoman, which is popular.

By the way, one of the three women's rooms is a mini room, which is the most reasonably priced at 4,400 yen for 80 minutes. Although it's called a "mini," it's spacious enough for changing clothes and taking a break after sauna.

Furthermore, the size of the sauna room is the same as the other rooms (!). If you don't mind having a small relaxing space, this is highly recommended as an introduction.

In addition, projectors are installed in rooms ``1'' and ``3'' in the men's area, and in rooms ``1'' and ``2'' (mini rooms introduced earlier) in the women's area, allowing you to project the starry sky. It's wonderful to be able to say goodbye while feeling something out of the ordinary.

A powder room is located in the common area of the women's area. This can be used even after the private room usage time has ended.

In addition, you can feel the careful attention to detail that makes you feel that the customer comes first. Since it's a private sauna, you only get to meet the staff for a short time, but you can really feel their hospitality. It really feels like staying in a luxury hotel!

It was a good facility that I can recommend to both sauna lovers and non-sauna lovers as a place where you can face yourself and pursue beauty.
