What is usually included

Entry normally includes a locker, a jjimjil outfit (T-shirt and shorts), small towels, and basic soap or shampoo. Some places charge a few thousand won for the outfit or extra towels. Bring your own skincare, a hair tie and a scrub mitt if you have a favourite.

03

Paying

Cards work almost everywhere, but small neighbourhood bathhouses and scrub corners sometimes prefer cash, so carry ₩20,000–30,000. Snacks inside are usually paid with your locker key and settled when you leave. No tipping.

Your Korean bathhouse era starts here.
