Onsen hotel since 1982 with history from Silla dynasty, classical music-treated spring water
First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesOnsen hotel in Namsan-myeon, Gyeongsan. Known as "Onamjeong" since the Silla dynasty — water never froze within a 15m radius even in winter. Hot spring discovered in 1972 when rice seedlings kept floating up in paddies; opened in 1982, operating for 40+ years. Classical music (Bach's Goldberg Variations, Chopin's Nocturnes) is played to the spring water reservoir for quality stabilization. No water reuse policy. Whirlpool family bath ₩60,000, regular family bath ₩45,000. 15 minutes by taxi from Gyeongsan KTX station. Community review: "Great water quality."

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.

Private scrub rooms are one-to-one, bookable, and run on a fixed time slot. If a public bath feels unfamiliar, this is the easier route.
