Right next to Instant House, there is a tent sauna that is very popular right now, and you can choose from two types: Finnish style and Russian style.
While mom is at work, dad and kids can enjoy the sauna experience here♫
The inside of the sauna is filled with a very nice scent because the sauna is made with aromatic water made from Ise GreenTea and herbs grown locally. You can relax your mind and body, so when you're stuck at work, it might be a good idea to take a tent sauna and reset your mood.
