Tongdo Charcoal Kiln Sauna

A charcoal-kiln sauna complex in Sangbuk-myeon, Yangsan. You sit inside domed kilns that have been fired with oak, so the heat behaves quite differently from a tiled sauna room — it radiates out of the mass rather than being blown at you. Several kilns are kept at different temperatures, and the intended way to use the place is to move between them rather than to endure the hottest one. It sits about ten minutes by car from Tongdosa, a UNESCO World Heritage temple, which makes it easy to build a day around, and there is a restaurant on site where you grill pork belly. Entry is 16,000 KRW for adults, 10,000 for children and 6,000 for preschoolers. Closed on Thursdays. The venue takes a break from 3 to 14 August 2026 and will be closed on those days.
