Lemon Sauna

Lemon Sauna is a neighborhood bathhouse built around an unusual signature bath. It has a dry sauna, a wet steam sauna, a cold plunge, a hot bath, and an ondol room, a floor-heated space where you lie down. The address is 635 Gwangnaru-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, close to Gangbyeon Station. Entry is ₩11,000, and towels and a hair dryer are included in that price, so you can arrive empty-handed. Parking is available, and the bathhouse closes at 23:00. No regular closing day is listed, overnight stays are not permitted, and the restrooms are gender-separated. The signature lemon bath, a hot bath with lemons floating in the water, is what the place is named after, though the listing notes that lemons are not stocked every day. For visitors new to Korean bathhouses, the usual rhythm is simple. You wash first at a seated shower station, then move between the hot baths, the sauna rooms and the cold bath. Alternating hot and cold, often called contrast bathing, is how many regulars use a place like this. Between rounds you can cool off on one of the two rest beds, or lie down in the ondol room, a warm floor area meant for resting rather than soaking. The interior is described as bright and open rather than dim.
