Are you a sauna fan? Long gone are the days of it being a hobby for crusty old men. The sauna boom of recent years is reaching fever pitch, along with the spread of the word “totonou\u201d –<\/em> that sensation of bliss after a sauna, cold bath and rest. Long lamented by enthusiasts as a sauna wasteland, Shibuya is finally being transformed into a sweltering sauna town, with a succession of renewals and new openings of hot facilities scheduled for 2022. To learn more, we hit the streets with writer Ryoko Iwata, a resident of Shibuya Ward. Eat, drink, work up a sweat…and then sweat some more. Shibuya is a town where you can enjoy the heat even in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shibuya, a town that gets under your skin <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cI grew up in Nagoya, and always thought of Shibuya as being way too urban for me. When I started living here though, I realized that the ambiance is completely different in each area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So recounts Ryoko Iwata, who has called the ward home for the last 6 years. Strolling around the choice spots is a nice break from writing, which tends to keep her cooped up at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m particularly fond of the tranquil Shinsen area. By contrast, the gaudy D\u014dgenzaka is not my cup of tea. If you see someone pacing down D\u014dgenzaka faster than anyone else, it’s probably me trying to get out, ha ha!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Eat, drink, and feel global in Shibuya<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cRestaurant-wise, you’ll find me most mornings at “World Breakfast Allday Gaienmae ” which serves up plates from all over the world. I also love Yoyogi Park, and the fact that there are so many open spaces in the heart of Tokyo. As long as I have a cup of coffee, I can walk around it endlessly, ha ha.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iwata-san\u2019s writing journey began with a book about coffee. This in turn led to a visit to Finland and a second book – a travel guide about the country. No wonder she was so stoked to discover \u201cHyv\u00e4\u00e4 Matkaa!\u201d, a cultural space promoting Scandinavian culture. As it is operated by a travel agency specializing in Scandinavia, the feel and menu are very Finnish. The menu includes shallow-roasted coffee which is the norm in Scandinavia, and cinnamon rolls filled with cardamom that are a real taste of home cooking. There is also a semi-private room in the style of a sauna hut, so you can fully immerse yourself in the Finnish feeling without leaving Shibuya. I’ve been cooped up at home for a while, so being able to experience the world through a space like this has been a lifesaver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A revamped designer Sauna bathhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


And while she went to Finland for the coffee, it was the experience of a sauna there that got her hooked:
\u201cI never thought I could handle a sauna. But then a friend took me along, and I was able to reach this state of equilibrium by getting piping hot and jumping in the cold bath. When I was stressed I found myself going everyday.  In Shibuya, I highly recommend “Kairyo-yu,” which was remodeled by bathhouse architect Kentaro Imai. It is chic and clean. So first-timers can feel at home. I\u2019d love to see Finnish-style \u201cl\u00f6yly\u201d saunas where cold water is poured on hot stones and an open air area introduced in the women’s baths, not just the men\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finnish Saunas in Shibuya <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cShibuya is actually the cradle of Finnish saunas in Japan. But that was 50 years ago, and for a long time Shibuya was regarded by aficionados as a sauna desert. The “Shibuya Saunas,” opening in December 2022, will change all that. This is the first sauna comprehensively designed by Katsuki Tanaka, the original author of the “Manga Sadou” series. It’s a dream come true to be able to press the reset button in the middle of the city, and is a godsend for the women of Shibuya including myself, haha!\u201d 
After a sweaty sauna session, the mind turns to cold beer. At the \u201cMikkeller Kiosk\/Bar”, visitors can quaff a selection of craft beers from Japan and around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mikkeller Japan boss Hamilton carries all sorts of beers other than lagers – which accounts for 99% of beer served in Japan. The curtained-off area at the back is a great place for a crafty pint while making new friends. Sauna improves your quality of sleep, so if you combine that with beer, you\u2019ll be flying with the fairies! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
