Saunas are seen as a form of purification, relaxation and rejuvenation. One of the key factors is the integration between the sauna and onsen (hot springs), places of cultural and spiritual importance. They are commonly used for detoxification and rehabilitation after a long day of work.
The first influences came from Europe in the early 20th century, when tourists and immigrants brought the Finnish sauna tradition to Japan. However, the real growth of saunas in Japan occurred after World War II, when the need for physical recovery and well-being drove the use of saunas. Saunas have now been incorporated into traditional public baths (sento) and onsen, helping to reinforce Japan’s health culture.
Japanese saunas typically use Japanese cedar wood, known for its durability and mild fragrance, which offers a unique sensory experience. In addition, many saunas are designed to maximize energy efficiency, using high-tech steam or electrical heating systems. Soft lighting and a simple design reinforce the famous Japanese concept of “wabi-sabi,” beauty in simplicity.
A unique feature of saunas in Japan, and at the same time similar to the Finnish tradition, is the act of pouring water over hot stones to create steam. However, in Japan, this practice has gained a special version called “Auto Löyly,” where automated systems add steam from time to time, creating a constant and gentle heat environment.
Another distinctive element is the use of Japanese herbs and minerals, such as yuzu and bamboo charcoal, which are incorporated to provide additional therapeutic effects.
Saunas in Japan are currently on the rise, especially in large cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. New concepts of compact and minimalist mobile saunas are emerging, aimed at an audience that wants a personalized and portable experience. Urban saunas are ideal places to unwind for Japanese workers who face long work hours.
