A New Era of Relaxation at Yuno-yama Sosuikyo

Nestled in the stunning natural surroundings of Komono Town, Yuno-yama Sosuikyo offers an unparalleled retreat experience. Recently, this luxurious accommodation introduced private sauna rooms designed in collaboration with Maruni Wood Industry and Libertyship. Known as the ‘kupu sauna’, these spaces are a perfect fusion of comfort and functionality, allowing guests to relish in sauna sessions without interruption.

One of the most striking aspects of these saunas is their unique structure, which features a half-dome design, promoting gentle steam circulation throughout the space. This ensures that the warmth of the sauna wraps around you softly, enhancing your relaxation experience. The saunas are adorned with comfortable chairs from Maruni Wood Industry, aptly named the ‘kupu sauna chair’, providing the ultimate in comfort during your sauna rituals.

The Craftsmanship Behind the Experience

The stone baths in the newly introduced sauna rooms are a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Designed specifically for Yuno-yama Sosuikyo, the water bath in the ‘Sekirō’ room is carved from a gigantic stone sourced from local quarries in Komono Town. Weighing close to 2 tons, this stone bath is not only a breathtaking centerpiece but also ensures an authentic and invigorating bathing experience. The water used flows from the Suzuka Mountains, rich in natural minerals cultivated over centuries, providing guests with a refreshing escape that ties them closely to the local environment.

Meanwhile, the ‘Kinotoki’ room features a hinoki(水風呂) (Japanese cypress) water bath, known for its aromatic properties and relaxing effects on the psyche. Both rooms feature state-of-the-art design aspects that allow for a seamless transition between sauna, cold bath, and outdoor relaxation, delivering a truly transformative retreat.

The Essence of Tea: A Unique Experience

Guests can also indulge in a unique Houjicha (roasted green tea) ‘rou-ryu’ session. This special ritual employs tea leaves from the local Yosawa area of Yokkaichi City, further enhancing the aromatic experience within the sauna. The rich, roasted aroma of the Houjicha elevates the atmosphere, bringing about deeper relaxation and a unique sensory experience.

The kupu sauna showcases the commitment to excellence of Maruni Wood Industry, with a legacy dating back to 1928. The professionals behind this innovative sauna creation have synergized their woodworking expertise with sauna design, showcasing a beautiful blend of function and art in an extreme environment. With careful finishes and ergonomic design principles, the kupu sauna stands as a testament to what is possible when craftsmanship and design vision unite.
