Plan description

Enjoy a sauna experience in the special space of a nationally registered tangible cultural property. The scent of Aomori cypress wafts through the air, while an authentic Finnish stove creates a heat wave. Enjoy a self-loyly experience using sauna stones made from Oga's "kanaishi" (metallic stone), which is also used in Oga's specialty dish, "stone-grilled cuisine." Enjoy a relaxing time in a sauna that evokes nature. To allow you to enjoy the experience empty-handed, the price includes an original Morinaga sauna hat with a "Namahage" motif, one face towel, and one large towel for the sauna room, so you can feel free to use it. *This plan is for reservations at the men-only Kura Sauna. (Please note that women can only use the sauna on Ladies' Day, the second Tuesday and fourth Sunday, and in the morning sauna reserved for guests.)

A retreat experience that stimulates all five senses

This sauna is a rare sight even nationwide: an entire storehouse has been converted into a sauna. The interior is made of Aomori cypress. The sauna stones are made of Oga's "Kanaishi" (metallic stone), which is named for its hard, shatter-resistant stones and their red-hot, metallic appearance. Every month, Aufguss experiences are held by staff certified as A-class sauna masters by the Japan Sauna Heat Wave Aufguss Association, as well as other sauna masters. After your sauna session, be sure to try the "Oga Salt Lemon" frozen candy, developed exclusively for Morinaga's sauna by Okashi no Gontaro, a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop located in the same Funakawa district as Morinaga. A complimentary sauna-specific detox water with sweat-inducing properties is included.

Experience the sauna empty-handed! Enjoy the sauna with unique amenities based on the Namahage motif

Morinaga is located just a minute's walk from Oga Station. We have a wide selection of amenities so that you can drop in casually. If you don't know much about saunas but would like to try a Kura sauna, or if you just want to warm up and relax, please feel free to come by. <Free amenities: Rental> - Namahage sauna hat - 1 face towel - 1 large sauna towel <Paid amenities: Rental> - Swimsuit (200 yen) - Poncho *Limited to 5 (500 yen) <Paid amenities: For sale> - Osaji facial care set (cleansing/face wash/toner/lotion) <Basic amenities> - Shampoos (shampoo/conditioner/body soap) - Hair dryer - Cotton swabs
