Jjimjilbang Guide: Top Korean Sauna and Spa Destinations
Have you heard of jjimjilbang? If you love K-culture, you’ve likely seen these traditional Korean bathhouses in dramas or reality shows. A jjimjilbang is a place to relax and rejuvenate, playing a significant role in Korean culture with various healing treatments.
Traditional jjimjilbangs are gender-segregated and feature hot and cold showers, saunas, and massage areas. Many have evolved to include fitness centers, outdoor pools, recreation areas, snack bars, and nail salons, making them a one-stop destination for relaxation.
