First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesBased on publicly available information — this is a mineral spring bathhouse on Uchang-ro in Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, open until 23:00 and year-round, though the fitness area closes on Sundays. The baths consist of a bucket bath, hot bath, extra-hot bath, event bath, massage bath, and cold bath, and the tubs are described as set lower than the surrounding floor for a more open feel. A large TV is installed within the bathing area, and separate sun bed and sleeping zones are provided. The sauna fee is 9,000 won and parking is free. The venue is registered for the culture expense tax deduction and accepts local currency and mobile payments.

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.
