Hwaseong's first licensed hot spring. Outdoor bath and charcoal kiln.
First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesHwaseong's first licensed oncheon (hot spring), sourced from 700m underground. Alkaline water. Outdoor bath, charcoal kilns, foot bath, and an on-site restaurant. Known for silky water quality, though some note the water upkeep leaves something to be desired. Sweating here happens in bulgama (charcoal kilns) rather than a sauna. Three of them, graded high, medium, and low, so you pick the one that matches your tolerance. Outdoors, the hot spring bath and a wood vinegar bath sit side by side. The outdoor bath is large and roomy, and indoors there is a foot bath. Pricing splits two ways. Bathing only is 11,000 KRW for adults (elementary school age and up) and 8,000 KRW for children (age 2 through kindergarten). Add the charcoal kilns and it becomes 16,000 KRW and 11,000 KRW. Seniors 10,000 KRW, early bird 8,000 KRW. Cash, credit card, and the Munhwa Nuri card all work. Open until 21:00, year-round. 434-14 Oncheon-ro, Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do; from the Baran IC turn left and go 1.4km toward the underpass. Parking yes, Wi-Fi no. Weekends draw a crowd, and the complaints about water upkeep are weekend complaints. For a slower soak, go on a weekday or in the early bird slot. There is a restaurant on site, so a meal does not mean leaving.
Practical notes
1.4km from Balan IC. Natural spring water from 700m underground. Bath ₩11,000 / bath + charcoal kiln ₩16,000; early-bird ₩8,000. Extremely crowded on weekends (the parking tower is nearly full by 6:20am on Sundays). For comfortable charcoal kiln use, visit on weekday mornings or afternoons; on weekends the kilns may close early or have long waits. Go in the morning for cleaner water. Many reviews mention silky-smooth skin after bathing. Parking available.

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.
