About
Trip Train is a private-hire sauna at Sumatakyo hot spring in Kawanehon, with two cabins: Metsa and Maa. Metsa takes at least two people and includes houjicha aufguss and a fire pit. Maa is the simpler, more affordable option, open to a single guest.
Good to know
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- 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.
- On a river: the cold side of the cycle comes from open running water rather than a tub.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
