MIKASAKAN Private Sauna

A Private Sauna Surrounded by the Nature of Kinokawa, Wakayama.

Nestled in the rich natural landscape of Kinokawa, this is a private fruit sauna reserved for one group at a time. We have transformed the bathhouse of a historic ryokan into a one-of-a-kind sauna space, blending local fruits with deep tranquility.

Surrender yourself to the quiet heat, and deepen your breath through our aroma löyly made with locally sourced fruits. As the gentle fragrance fills the air, you’ll feel both body and mind gradually soften and release.

After a good sweat, cool down in our cold bath filled with pure well water. Finish with a sip of detox water, letting a refreshing aftertaste slowly flow through your body.

We also offer fresh and frozen fruits to complete the experience, carefully crafting even the “aftertaste” of your moment of balance. From our outdoor relaxation area overlooking Mount Akiba and the Nakatsu River, enjoy an even deeper sense of calm. Leave behind the noise of everyday life and savor a truly special fruit sauna experience, unique to Kinokawa.

Fruity Ways to Unwind

Fruit Aroma Löyly
A gentle, fruity aroma inspired by the fruits of Kinokawa. As steam rises with the löyly, the air softens and naturally guides you into deeper breathing, making your sauna time calmer and more comfortable.

Fruit Detox Water
A refreshing detox water made with seasonal fruits. It gently replenishes your body after the sauna, cools lingering heat, and supports a smooth state of balance. Lightly sweetened and easy to drink, you’ll find yourself reaching for another glass.

Seasonal Fruits from Kinokawa
A selection of seasonal fruits showcasing the pride of Kinokawa. Their fresh juiciness spreads through your mouth, naturally guiding your body toward relaxation after the heat.

Thoughtful Touches for Deeper Relaxation

Incense in the Relaxation Room “Sorafuro”
In the relaxation room “Sorafuro,” we provide incense inspired by the sacred atmosphere of the Kumano Kodo, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Wakayama. Light the incense during breaks to calm your mind and enjoy a moment of quiet reflection.

Portable Speaker
A portable speaker is available in Sorafuro. Connect your own smartphone and relax with your favorite music at your own pace.

ZAF Meditation Cushion
Inside the sauna, we offer ZAF cushions that can be brought in freely. Use them for seated meditation, as back support, or as a pillow — the choice is yours. They help you align posture and breathing for deeper relaxation.

Outdoor Relaxation Space
In addition to the indoor relaxation room, we also offer an outdoor space where you can enjoy air bathing while listening to the gentle flow of the river. Let the natural sounds surround you as you savor the lingering calm.

After the Sauna

Drinks

Enjoy refreshing fruit drinks made from the rich harvest of Kinokawa, known as the “Kingdom of Fruits.” Seasonal flavors such as Peach Soda and Fig Soda let you savor the natural sweetness of Wakayama’s local fruits.

Post-Sauna Meal

Our signature dry curry is crafted with a blend of seven spices. A perfect dish to gently replenish your body after a sauna session, offering warmth and satisfaction in every bite.
