What is a Sauna?
A sauna is a traditional steam bath where you sweat in a hot room, helping to boost metabolism and promote a healthy body. At Maruttera, we offer a sauna space in the park with self-löyly, allowing you to enjoy a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
What is Löyly?
Löyly is an essential sauna tradition from Finland. Water is poured over heated sauna stones to create steam, raising the perceived temperature and promoting sweating, which enhances relaxation for both body and mind. At Maruttera in Ukiha, a region where fruits can be harvested year-round, you can enjoy self-löyly with the aromas of seasonal fruits. Experience a unique, fruit-filled sauna session in the heart of the “Fruit Kingdom.”
What Does “Totonou” Mean?
To achieve totonou in a sauna, follow the three steps of sweating in the sauna, cooling your body in a cold bath, and taking a rest outdoors (air bath). Repeating this cycle gradually warms you from the inside, clears your mind, and brings a sense of happiness—this refreshing and balanced feeling is what is known as totonou.
Benefits & Effects
Sauna sessions can help balance the autonomic nervous system, which may reduce stress. Improved blood circulation can also support detoxification and boost metabolism. Effects may vary from person to person, but many enjoy these positive benefits.
How to Enjoy the Sauna
Stay well-hydrated and wash your body and hair before entering the sauna. The higher you sit, the hotter it feels, so beginners should start on the lower bench for 6–12 minutes at a comfortable pace. Alternate between the sauna, cold bath, and outdoor rest as you like. It’s recommended that your outdoor rest lasts about twice as long as your time in the sauna.
Important Notice
If you are feeling unwell, extremely tired, or are new to saunas, avoid overdoing it as it may cause dizziness or dehydration. Saunas are not recommended for people with chronic illnesses, pregnant individuals, or children under 10 years old. Please refrain from using the sauna after drinking alcohol or immediately after meals—wait 1–2 hours after eating. Stay hydrated and enjoy the sauna within your comfort level.
