90-year-old seawater hot spring in Haeundae, near Haeundae Station.
First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesA seawater hot spring that has been a fixture of Haeundae for generations. The water is the whole point. Three wells 900m underground feed the building directly, with no mixing tank in between, which is how the 60C is held. The natural hot spring bath that takes that water is listed at 60C. Beyond it, a warm bath and a cold plunge. There is no sauna room of any kind, so read this as a hot spring bathhouse rather than a jjimjilbang. Opened 1935, renovated 2023. The whole second floor is given over to private family baths. The public bath is 7,000 KRW; family baths start at 40,000 KRW for two. Couples and families with children are both welcome. Towels and bath towels, shampoo, body wash, slippers, a dryer and lockers are all provided, so you can turn up empty-handed. Parking available, cash and cards. Hours are 07:00 to 21:00, but entry stops at 20:00, and it closes every Tuesday. 7 Jungdong 2-ro 10beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan.

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.
