I visited the hot springs in May 2023, and I still think fondly on my time there so I thought to write this review. It was my first authentic korean spa in korea and they were helpful for what to do. You definitely need a car when you're on jeju island, and this is perfect after a drive onto the south side of the island.

These thermal hot springs are such a wonderful place to feel noticeably younger and deeply relaxed. After soaking in the baths, your skin becomes incredibly soft and radiant — like that of a newborn. I highly recommend this hidden gem on Jeju Island — a place where nature gently restores both body and spirit. ❤️

You would get a tag, and using the tag you put your shoes in the locker outside and clothes in the locker inside. They gave two towels, remember to bring toiletries or you may buy at the vending machines. Take a shower first before entering the hot springs

Don’t expect a high end spa. This is very much a pla...
