Barrel saunas with a distinctive cylinder shape are available.
The unique shape makes it easy to raise the temperature in the sauna and is ideal for saunas with a high number of entrances and exits.
The sauna heater is a Harvia electric heater, which allows you to enjoy the sauna at your preferred temperature, from 70°C to a maximum of 100°C.
The water bath is enjoyed in the wild style of a plunge into Lake Biwa.
The beach in the Kita-Komatsu area, which stretches out in front of AFUMI, boasts water quality and clarity that is said to be the best in Lake Biwa, thanks to the water flowing from Lake Biwa's highest peak, Mt Hira.
The unique location also offers a spectacular view of Okishima Island, Mount Ibuki and Omi Fuji, making it the perfect place to enjoy the ‘totoonto’ experience.

About Barrel Sauna
What is a sauna?
Sauna is originally one of the bathing methods called steam bath, which is popular for improving metabolism and creating a healthy body by sweating in a hot room.
Wooden benches surrounding a sauna stove, which keeps the sauna room at 80 to 100°C, are common.
At AFUMI, you can enjoy the unique Barrel sauna.
What is a "Totonou"?
To get in shape in the sauna, the three steps are: sweat in the sauna room, cool the body's surface heat in the water bath, and then take an outside air bath (rest) to alternate between warm and cold baths.
By repeating these steps, the body warms up gradually from the inside, the head becomes clear, and a sense of well-being is experienced, which eventually leads to the realization of "Totonou".
At AFUMI, you can dive into Lake Biwa as a natural water bath and enjoy the experience of "Totonou" on the open beach.
