First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesYou have to travel all the way out to Cheongna, but the reward is there. First of all, it is spacious: wide pools, wide rest areas. After three rounds of hot-cold alternation the body feels looser. The rest area mats are surprisingly good, and I lay there for about an hour and nearly fell asleep. The address is 15 Cheongna Canal-ro 260beon-gil, Seo-gu, Incheon, and it runs 24 hours, year-round. Admission is 8,000 KRW during the day and 10,000 KRW at night. It sits about 30 minutes by car from Incheon Airport, so it can be worked into an arrival or departure day. Cash and credit cards are accepted, and children and couples are welcome. The bathing area has a warm pool, a cold pool and an outdoor pool, while the sauna side covers dry and steam rooms plus a yellow clay hanjeungmak (traditional Korean kiln room). Added are a bulgama (traditional fire kiln heated with wood), a Himalayan salt kiln, a hinoki cypress forest bathing room and an indoor camping zone. A rooftop outdoor pool opens in summer with free life jacket rental, so it is worth checking whether the season has started. Full-body and foot massage are also available. Guests report that the jjimjilbang (Korean sauna lounge) zone can be noisy, so the bath section is the calmer choice, and weekdays tend to be quiet.
Practical notes
Rooftop outdoor pool open in summer. 30 min by car from Incheon Airport.

No booking needed
Just walk in
Places like this do not take bookings. Pay at the counter and go in. Know the steps below and a first visit is fine.
From the door to the exit
- Pay the entry fee at the counter. Many take cards, but a little cash is the safe bet. You get a shoe-locker key.
- Put everything in a locker in the changing room. The bath area is fully nude — no swimwear. Wear the key on your wrist.
- Shower before entering any tub. This is the one rule everyone notices.
- For a body scrub (seshin), go straight to the scrub attendant inside the bath area. Usually cash, and you wait your turn.
- Return the key at the counter on the way out. Some places settle extras (scrub, drinks) at that point.
Good to know
- Men and women bathe separately. In jjimjilbang common areas you wear the provided sauna clothes.
- Large tattoos may be refused at some places. If that concerns you, check before you go.
- A towel is usually provided but small. Scrub mitts, toothbrushes and razors are sold at the counter.
- No photos inside the bath area. Easiest to leave your phone in the locker.
- Prices and hours are compiled from public information and may have changed. If you are coming from far, one phone call is worth it.
