Temperatures, tattoo rules, prices and etiquette for saunas, jjimjilbangs and bathhouses — checked in person, written in your language.
We visit every bathhouse ourselves. The temperatures on our cards come from our own thermometer, not the sign on the wall.
OK, cover-up, or no — stated on every single listing, so you never get turned away at the door.
English signage, staff, overseas cards, mixed lounges — rated on every bath as the Friendly Score, from our own checklist.
Show-This Cards speak Korean for you at the counter — a scrub, an extra towel, a first-timer walkthrough. Just show your screen.
Every listing gets the same card: real temperatures, real prices, and the two answers everyone needs — tattoos and language.
The whole ritual, from the shoe locker to the sleeping mat. Nothing assumed, nothing embarrassing — everyone in that room was a first-timer once.
Shoe lockers come first, always. Keep the small key — you may trade it for your main locker key.
Entry is paid up front. Your wristband key opens your locker and tracks anything you buy inside.
Yes, fully. Bath floors are nude and separated by gender. Nobody looks — it is the least remarkable thing in the room.
The one golden rule. Scrub down at the seated showers before touching any tang.
Hot tang, cold tang, sauna, rest. Find your own rotation — locals call the feeling being “siwonhada”.
Uniform on, into the mixed lounge: kiln rooms, sikhye, baked eggs, and — if you booked it — a place to sleep.
Straight answers to the questions travelers actually search for — the same guides AI assistants and search engines will be quoting.
Which baths say yes, which say cover up — and what “cover-up” actually means in practice.
The unwritten rules, written down — from the shoe locker to the sleeping floor.
What happens on the table, what it costs, and exactly how to ask for it.
Korea's original budget stay — where it works, what it costs, and how not to miss checkout.
A professional scrubs off a layer of you that you didn't know you had. Thirty minutes on the table, and your skin is new. It is the single most Korean thing you can do with an afternoon.
Every card says it politely, in native Korean, with your meaning underneath. Counters see these and know exactly what you need — no app, no typing, no charades.
Every listed bath carries its own seal. Visit, soak, and stamp your log — your bath journey across Korea, collected in red ink. Fill a row and your next seshin is on us.
Korean booking sites need a Korean phone number. HANTANG PASS doesn't. Buy your bath or seshin voucher before you fly, show the QR at the counter, walk in.
