First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesBased on publicly available information — this is a neighborhood bathhouse in Ssangmun-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul, which opened in 1971 and is now in its 55th year. It sits about 235m from Exit 3 of Ssangmun Station, near the neighborhood that served as the setting for the drama Reply 1988. Hours are 05:00–18:00, with a regular closing every Wednesday. A dry mugwort sauna is in operation and admission is listed from 7,000 won. No dedicated parking is listed, so public transport is the easier option, and inquiries can be made at 02-991-8893.

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.
