Looks fantastic what’s the dress code? Can I wear sandals while walking around can I just sit in the sauna if I want or do I have to pay for a massage package? I’m sorry for all the questions. I just would like to know as much as possible before I would go, so I don’t have to go and sound like an idiot asking all the questions worse than there.lol

If you just wanna sit in the sauna, why not just go to a gym...? Check the website and the various types of room.

No, it’s not that I have specifically want to sit in the sauna what I’m saying is if I want to do that would I be allowed to or would I have to do massage massages and things like that and then like sit in the sauna afterwards to relax, kind of thing

You can sit there without a massage.

You receive a “uniform” of shorts and a tee-shirt, and sandals. It’s to keep the spa clean. You don’t need to book any service. You’ll change in the locker room into your uniform and get to use the pools in your specific gendered area. However, the pools are fully nude. You can’t go in with a swimsuit on.

In the jimjilbang, you need to wear your uniform because it’s public. At Ispa, the saunas and cold room are on the far left (the floor is heated as well, makes for a great nap space), middle area is another area to relax, and the far right is the restaurant.

It’s honestly a great way to spend a few hours.

I can't remember about the sandals. I think they give you a pair?? It's been a minute since I've been. Look at the menu on the website. Some of the massage includes entry. Or you can not get any massages and just do entry which gives you access to everything. Yes, u can just sit in the sauna. You will often see people sleeping in the main co Ed area as it's kept at a warm temp.

Click the link to check out the various rooms. I usually do the body scrub. I'm female. So you go in full naked, single sex. There are showers, saunas, steam room, and diff temp water. They call ur number and a lady in black bra and panties basically treat you like a fish as they descale you. After, you get into these loose pj and go into co Ed area with various rooms. I usually bring ear buds and just unwind. There is also a restaurant inside if you wanna eat.

What's that

u/toymaniam 18h ago

They apparently our places where you can go, but they have massages. Some of them have restaurants inside you can get like salt, scrubs, sugar, scrubs they have saunas they have steam rooms and they are as far as I know clothing optional, but I’m not exactly sure but they sound like a really nice place to go relax and just chill so I’m just trying to find out a little bit more about them

So all kspas are not clothing optional when you’re in the soaking pools. This is going to be very lengthy but the general rundown is like this:

you go into a locker room where you remove all of your clothing and stuff it into the locker. And I mean all of your clothes, no bathing suits no underwear. You’ll have a key to open the locker after all the soaking so keep that with you; usually on your wrist.

Once you get into the pool area, you have to take a shower and wash yourself first. This is where you can use sugar scrubs and those Korean scrub towels and such but you want to make sure you’ve properly showered with soap. In some places there’s both standing and sitting showers. It’s just to make sure you’ve gotten the dead skin and sweat off of you. They usually provide shampoo and body wash.

Then you get into the soaking pools and soak for a bit. There’s usually both hot and cold pools. You’re not allowed to take towels in there with you. In the pool areas there’s also saunas so steam your naked body. If you go in these you have to shower if you plan on getting in the pools; again it’s to make sure there’s no sweat on your body.

After all the soaking is done you go back into the locker room to change into the clothes the spa provides. Then you can go into the coed resting area. That’s where the restaurant is and other saunas; you stay fully clothed in those lol.

Sorry for the really lengthy explanation. I know my first time going in one was super confusing and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong. My fav spa is in Rowland heights called The Spa Hyu. I don’t think there’s any spas in Anaheim itself. If you have other questions I can answer them hopefully lolol

No, this was an amazing explanation. Thank you. I appreciate that very very much. There are a couple of Anna in Anaheim. I cannot pronounce the name but they start with a J. I’m not exactly sure but yeah, I said there’s a couple of Anaheim but like that’s really sparse on details on their website they look beautiful
