Find your balance in Kyoto,
where fantasy gently unfolds

Concept

「Imaginary World」

Here stands someone's dwelling, poised between
reality and fantasy.
That "someone" may be human—
or perhaps a forest spirit, a traveler through time,
or a luminous being drifting through the cosmos.

This space transforms through your imagination.
A place with no fixed form—
a sanctuary that exists only within the mind.

What KUDOCHI Kyoto Kawaramachi creates is such an imaginary dwelling:
a sauna experience as art, perceived through
all five senses.

Light flickers.
Air flows.
Time gently loosens its grip.

Everything you feel here completes the space.

Five features

  • Fully private rooms

    All rooms are completely private so guests can enjoy the space at their own pace. Each room has its own unique concept and is filled with attention to detail, allowing you to enjoy your own style of "totonoi."

  • Customizable to your liking

    Sound, light, aroma, and temperature can be freely customized. Rediscover your ideal "space" that you may have never noticed before. Enjoy the pleasure of "exploring your inner self."

  • All rooms equipped with cold bath

    Each private room has a cold bath, so you can enjoy it all to yourself without worrying about others. We pay attention to both width and depth, and the water temperature is managed to remain constant.

  • QR code entry

    Unmanned reception allows for contactless, non-face-to-face use.
    Simply scan the QR code for stress-free and smooth entry and exit.

  • Open 24 hours

    Available 24 hours a day after work, on holidays, late at night or early in the morning. When you feel like getting "totonoi," you can have an extraordinary sauna experience.
