After overeating in Korea, I wanted to exercise by running and then relax in a hot spring. I stumbled upon Jagalchi Seawater Hot Spring and booked the gym + hot spring package! On the first floor, I showed the staff my QR code for the reservation. After confirming my name, they gave me a shoe locker number. I went up to the second floor, found the corresponding shoe locker, put my shoes inside, and then walked further in to find the clothes locker, which had the same number as the shoe locker. On the second floor, I changed into my workout clothes and headed to the gym on the fourth floor to exercise! (Since I booked the gym package, workout clothes were provided.) After my workout, I returned to the second floor, took off my workout clothes, and put them in the towel recycling bag. Then, I walked up the stairs to the third floor, which is the hot spring area. You need to bring your own body wash and shampoo. If you don't have toiletries, they are sold on the first floor, cash only. Soaking in the hot spring after a workout was incredibly relaxing! I'm so grateful to have found a place like this where I could use a gym during my trip to Korea, especially with all the delicious food I was eating every day. I came here for two consecutive days!!!

Location: Near Jagalchi Market. If you have a late flight on your last day and want to get to the airport feeling clean and comfortable, this experience is a great option. Experience: Unlike typical high-end jjimjilbangs, this one is frequented by local ajummas. Remember to bring your own toiletries so you don't have to spend an extra 2,000 Korean Won to buy them. Facilities: The entire place is clean, and the ajummas are very welcoming. If they see you're a foreigner, they'll even personally provide one-on-one assistance.

With the excellent support from our guide, we truly had a wonderful time.

Atmosphere: Good Environment: Features a sauna and hot/cold baths. Facilities: Includes a gym, and a seawater bath is perfect after a workout.

It was my first time visiting, so I was unsure about many things, but the locals were very helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I also had a body scrub, and my skin felt incredibly smooth afterward. I definitely want to go back to relax and rejuvenate the next time I visit Busan.

I purchased a ticket about an hour before use on the same day. When I showed my voucher at the reception, I was given instructions written in Japanese and directed upstairs. There, another staff member, an older woman, gestured to tell me that the shoe locker and regular locker numbers were the same, and then guided me to my locker. The spa felt like a clean, local public bathhouse. There were two hot tubs (one high-temperature, one low-temperature), a cold plunge pool, and two saunas. There are no amenities provided (they are available for purchase), so it's best to bring your own. Also, the hair dryers were coin-operated, costing 100 won.

You will be provided with two towels. It is mandatory to wash your body and hair before entering the bath. The clientele was mostly locals, but the atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable. I had the 45-minute body scrub and massage course, and it truly relieved all the fatigue from my body. Even for someone like me, whose skin peels off just by removing a bandage, the exquisite body scrub left my skin feeling reborn, without any irritation or dryness. I will definitely come back again when I visit Busan.
