Where this comes from
Source: the venue's Google Maps listing (category "Spa"), checked November 2, 2026, and the venue's own website. We list it as a contrast bathhouse because of its Google listing and website. Ratings are Google's, shown as a count only; we do not copy reviews. Prices and rules are quoted from the venue's own site with the date we read them; they change, so confirm before you go.
