The snamushka is a public sandbath facility that was renovated in 1996. After getting off the bus, take the escalator straight up to the second floor of the facility. The design of the escalator is surprisingly modern. It contrasts sharply with the 500 years old tradition of the bath which I found quite fascinating. The facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tolls are available for purchase, so it’s easy to visit empty-handed. There’s also restaurant and observation deck, making it one of the best spot to enjoy the view of King Co Bay. The sound bus area where you lie down on the layer of warm sand is enclosed by stroll mat directly on the beach. Now let me walk you through how to enjoy the national sun experience at Tsunamushka. Upon entering the building, first pick up an admission ticket and wait for your turn. Because the sandbath lot have a limited capacity, you will likely wait in the second floor lounge until space becomes available. I am inside the uh hot bath center and the system is like this. When we reach here, we will get this piece of paper to wait for our turn and turn for the first registration and after the the uh we are called for the first registration. Then when we will go to a local room to change our tire. So my turn is my p paper shows 190. So I have to wait for another 10 to 20 minutes for the first registration. I just finished the initial registration and then I paid the fee for this. So I will wear this gown and going to the uh the beach to enjoy steam sand and bath in the changing room. Store all your belongings including valuables in a local and change into the provided gown. You wear it directly on your skin without underwear and bring only your hand towel with you to the sand bath. So this is the entrance of sand bath.
