About
Sauna Cafe Umikko is a renovated former community bathhouse on the Akita coast, run as a cafe. It has a dry sauna and a lavender-scented steam sauna, and an outdoor rest area with reclining chairs looks out over the sea. Private sauna sessions can be booked alongside the day cafe.
Good to know
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
