SCROLL

Savor the tree.
A sauna, in Hakata.

Until now, the tree was merely material for building saunas.
Here, the tree itself becomes the experience.

Called the “Tree of Life” by indigenous peoples —
a sauna built from one whole Western Red Cedar.

Enjoy the fragrance, touch the grain,
and feel the long years the tree has lived.
A one-of-a-kind sauna experience, in Hakata.

1.Sauna stove guard

The sauna stove sits nestled inside a hollowed section of one great tree. Its trunk measures 1.37 meters across — a tree that seems born to become a sauna, warming the room softly.

2.Freestanding object

A side section of a great cedar that lived eight hundred to a thousand years in Alaska — encountered in Saga — now stands in the sauna room. Its presence recalls the Red Cedar as it once lived.

3.Solid-slab bench

The benches are single live-edge slabs — legs included, all from the same tree. Red Cedar holds more air, so they never get too hot: a functional bench, easy to sit on.

4.Wainscoting

Walls and ceiling are lined generously with thick boards. The wood wraps the heat in softness — tap gently, and you can hear the thickness.

5.Other

The offcuts became the signs around the building. Nothing wasted — the whole of one tree lives on in this space.

3F.Men's Floor

The third floor is one full floor for men. One sauna, one cold bath, one hot bath. To this simple, deliberate layout we added an open-air lounge and a climate-controlled indoor lounge. With every wasted step removed, only time with the tree remains.

Sennen Sauna

A sauna spent with a tree a thousand years old. The Red Cedar's scent, heat and touch sink in. What you savor here is a thousand years of time.

Sauna
Cold Bath

A 120cm-deep cold bath made for sauna lovers — immersion up to the head is encouraged. Touch the Tajimi tile as the glow gently unwinds.

Cold Bath
Hot Bath

A generous bath matters in a sauna house — a conviction of the design team. In this tub bloom poppies drawn especially by KYNE.

Hot Bath
Open-Air Lounge

A beautiful room that draws in plenty of open air. Be sure to try the Brain Sleep beds, a favorite at our Meiji Park location in Tokyo.

Open-Air Lounge
Indoor Lounge

An indoor cool-down space tuned to the finest degree — it works best after a proper heat. Refill with free drinks, then back to the next sauna round.

The fourth floor is one full floor for women. The layout mirrors the third — one sauna, one cold bath, one hot bath — with the same heat and fragrance of the tree, arranged around how women spend their time here. A spacious powder room keeps you comfortable to the very end.

EXPERIENCE

Breathe the fragrance. Bathe in the steam. Touch the grain.
And drink the tree.
Follow, with all five senses,
what a single tree can give.

  1. The scent greets you the moment the door opens —
    enjoy how it fills the entire bathing area.
  2. For löyly, pour slowly over the center of the stove.
    The mellow steam carries the Red Cedar's scent through the whole room.
  3. Door handles, signs, backrests, benches —
    touch the Red Cedar living in every corner, and feel its thickness and gentle heat.
  4. The bathing area is wrapped in Tajimi tile —
    round, soft, gentle on the skin. Reach out and touch.
  5. Cold bath, open-air lounge, and back to the sauna —
    follow the circuit that flows around the sauna itself.
