New Sauna-Equipped Rental Residence in Osaka
The concept of integrating wellness into urban living is gaining ground in Japan, with totonoü Japan Co., Ltd. announcing an exciting partnership with Tokyu Land Corporation. This collaboration will see the introduction of private saunas in the new rental residence named 'COMFORIA Liv Hakuro-cho 1-chome Q,' scheduled for completion in January 2026. Located in the bustling Chuo ward of Osaka, this residence marks a significant transformation in the rental market by incorporating spa-like amenities directly into living spaces.
Enhancing Property Value through Wellness
The integration of a sauna into a rental apartment is a first for Tokyu Land in its rental property line-up. This innovative move aims to increase the value of the premium floors of the residence. The sauna product chosen for this project, the
Auroom Cala Glass, is a sophisticated cabin sauna imported from the Nordic region, emphasizing design and functionality.
Initially, totonoü conducted training sessions for members of Tokyu Land's Kansai branch, focusing on knowledge sharing about the implementation of in-home sauna solutions. This preparation ensures a seamless incorporation of wellness features into their properties, thereby enhancing their appeal.
A Look at the Premium Features
The
COMFORIA series by Tokyu Land is well-known for its emphasis on comfort, sustainability, and convenience. The new residence is strategically located just a short walk from Sakaisuji Hommachi Station and Nagahoribashi Station, placing residents in close proximity to urban amenities. The units on the premium floors feature high-quality facilities including modern kitchens, luxurious bathrooms equipped with popular shower heads, and elegant designs that mirror hotel standards, heightening the overall living experience.
The thoughtfully designed saunas will be conveniently placed adjacent to the bathrooms, allowing for a luxurious 'home sauna life' supported by spacious powder rooms. The incorporation of the sauna not only adds a unique feature but also presents opportunities for self-care and relaxation within the home setting.
A Popular Choice for Urban Living
Designed to be compact yet spacious enough for two people, the
Auroom Cala Glass is tailored for urban environments. Its minimalist aesthetics and functional qualities align well with the needs of potential residents. With a temperature capacity reaching up to 110 degrees, the sauna is built for effective relaxation and offers the exhilarating experience of traditional
Löyly (sauna steam). Additionally, the sauna's design prioritizes safety, featuring an outward-opening door for emergency exits and complying with Japan's safety standards.
Notably, the product has gained popularity among celebrities, which exemplifies its appeal in modern living spaces. The carefully selected materials, including heat-treated Nordic timber, ensure that the sauna not only serves as a stylish addition to any home but also withstands the rigors of daily use.
Training and Support for Partnership Success
Totonoü's commitment to promoting saunas in residential settings extends beyond mere sales. The company has hosted numerous workshops and webinars addressing the nuances of sauna installation in homes. To further assist in the successful launch of the new project, they organized a special training program for Tokyu Land’s team in February 2025, delving into the practicalities, benefits, and operational guidelines of home saunas.
Moving forward, totonoü aims to expand the narrative of 'living with saunas' across Japan, leveraging their expertise in both residential and commercial sauna solutions. This partnership is a step toward elevating the value proposition of residential properties in Japan, fostering a culture that embraces wellness and tranquility in urban living.
Conclusion
The introduction of sauna-equipped residences represents a significant advancement in the rental market, highlighting a growing trend towards wellness-oriented living solutions. This partnership between totonoü and Tokyu Land not only enhances the appeal of the
COMFORIA properties but also embodies a modern approach to residential design that prioritizes health, comfort, and sustainability. As the project progresses, it is set to become a benchmark for future developments in the industry.
