Natural hot spring in Pocheon, a day-trip spa destination from Seoul
First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesA natural hot spring located in Sinbuk-myeon, Pocheon, accessible within about one hour by car from Seoul. Cold plunge 21C, warm bath 37C, hot bath (yeoltang) 42C. Beyond the indoor tubs there are two outdoor baths on the warm side and one outdoor cold bath, so the hot-cold rotation can be run out in the open air or kept entirely indoors. Three dry saunas, clearly separated by heat band: jade sauna 70C, yellow clay sauna 80C, charcoal sauna 99C. Sitting out the charcoal room and then cutting it with the 21C plunge is the obvious loop here. No steam room. Hours differ by section. The oncheon (hot spring) spa runs 08:00-18:00, the bade pool a shorter 10:00-17:00, so time your visit if the pool is what you came for. Last admission is one hour before closing, and it shuts every Tuesday. Entry from 17,000 KRW, with discounts on Naver reservations and on weekday early-bird entry before 09:00. Parking is free, and cash, cards and the Munhwa Nuri card are all accepted. The entrance and restrooms are wheelchair accessible and there is an accessible parking bay. No Wi-Fi. Enquiries: 031-536-5025.

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.
