A short 10 minute walk from Songtan Station will bring you to Woosung Red Clay Charcoal Sauna, a small neighborhood style jjimjilbang. The sauna provides parking in both the front and back, as well as bicycle parking by the entrance.
Prices vary depending on your preferences: 10,000 KRW grants access to the charcoal sauna, while 13,000 KRW includes the sauna and the jjimjilbang. Prices rise by 1,000 KRW after 8 p.m., and discounts are available for children, seniors, and multi-visit packs.
After you’ve paid, you’ll be given an outfit, two towels and a locker key. Your shoes will go into the first locker. Your key will work in the shoe locker and the same locker number in the locker room. In the entry, orange lockers are for women and beige are for men. After you’ve stored your shoes away, head to the correct floor. Women’s locker room is on the second floor and men’s locker room is on the third floor. The charcoal sauna is on the 3rd floor, separate from the men’s locker room.
The jjimjilbangs are inside each respective locker room. In the women’s, there are two hot tubs of differing temperatures and a large cold plunge pool. There are also two saunas, one regular sauna and one steam sauna. I recommend starting in a hot tub, cooling off in the cold pool and then heading into the sauna. The cold pool is also great for cooling off in between saunas and hot tubs!
You can also pay extra for an array of sports massages outside of the sauna as well as several massage options in the jjimjilbang. Beverages are available in the locker room (cash only), in a vending machine on each floor and you can also bring your own. You’ll definitely want something cool to drink while in the sauna!
Tips for First-Time Visitors:
Don't expect anyone to speak English but also don’t be nervous if someone DOES speak English. They’ll try to give you helpful tips if they notice you’re uncomfortable.
Take a moment to look around and observe. See how/what everyone is doing to get a better feel for the space.
Bring your own toiletries and spare towel if you plan on showering here when finished.
Avoid overdoing it in the cold pools or sauna — take it slow.
Everyone feels a bit nervous on their first visit, so relax and enjoy.
Phones are prohibited inside the jjimjilbang and locker rooms, ensuring privacy and respect for all guests.
