A plan where you can casually enjoy the much-talked-about tent sauna experience. You can enjoy it not only in the middle of winter, but also during the hot summer season! Because the base temperature is high, the heat in the tent sauna rises quickly and you can get into the zone in a short time. The tent sauna is set up on the beach in front of Lake Biwa, and you can jump into Japan's best cold water bath to cool down your heated body in an instant! Depending on your preference, the inside of the tent is a full-fledged high-temperature tent sauna, even though it is outdoors and the temperature is 80℃ to 110℃. The refreshing feeling of jumping into Lake Biwa is addictive fun!
