Wash yourself in silence. Here's how: You get 1 bath towel and 2 small washcloths for washing. Once inside the washing room, you will find wooden stools and wooden buckets in front of the water taps. You wash yourself naked. Put one of the small towels on the wooden stool, sit down. You fill the wooden bucket and pour water over you again and again and again. When you feel that you are starting to get unwind, you slowly start to wash your self. Moisten the washcloth and put soap on it (everything is in it; soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion) and wash yourself. It is important that the whole body is clean before the bath. Then rinse yourself by using the wooden bucket in the same way as at the beginning. When you have finished washing, you show respect for the guests who come after you, by setting up the wooden bucket on the wooden stool again. Now it's the soul's turn and you can sink into the hot springs. In the washing rooms you will find hot springs and a dry sauna and here is the opportunity for those who want to be naked. Then you put on your swimwear and go out to the bathhouse. Here you can walk around and discover our experiences such as carbonated baths and sleeping saunas and much more.
