Enjoy the Openness of the Outdoors! Tokyo's Largest Hotel Pool Becomes the "Cold Plunge Pool"

According to the "2021 Japan Sauna Survey" released by the Japan Sauna and Cold Bath Research Institute, there are an estimated 3.39 million "heavy saunners" who visit saunas four or more times a month, indicating an unprecedented sauna boom.
Hotel New Otani is introducing a tent sauna to the resort space of its "GARDEN POOL" and opening "GARDEN SAUNA," a new luxury experience, for five days only.
"GARDEN SAUNA" is a completely private sauna that can be used by up to four people per tent. This year, following the revision of the Chiyoda Ward Public Bathing Law, men and women can enjoy the sauna together, making it perfect for couples and families. Additionally, the hotel's expansive pool, one of the largest in Tokyo, can be used as a cold plunge pool, allowing guests to relax while maintaining ample social distance.
As the sauna is located within the hotel's Japanese garden, which boasts a 400-year history, "GARDEN SAUNA" offers the unique opportunity to stroll through the spring garden while enjoying the cherry blossoms. It would be delightful to admire the 19 varieties and 58 cherry trees, including Yama-zakura, Shidare-zakura, Somei Yoshino, and Yaezakura, blooming across the expansive 10,000-tsubo grounds before your sauna session.
Why not indulge in a luxurious and elegant moment amidst the resort oasis of a Tokyo hotel, under the expansive open sky?
