Captain James Reamon When you go to Busan , one of the things I'd like to recommend is spending at least half a day at Shinsegae's Spa Land. Inspired by the Koreanovelas I used to watch, I've dreamed of experiencing jjimjilbang Korean style spa like the locals in Korea. Sadly, I can't speak fluent Korean yet and so it's very hard to just walk-in into an authentic traditional one with the bowl with steam sign you see them everywhere by myself without a local guide or friend.
I've heard you can even stay for the night or do all your showering in this type of Korean spa if you don't have anywhere to go instead of a hotel or your home. SpaLand is not 24 hours but it is unique to Busan. It's a more high-end jjimjilbang and hot spring resort because they incorporated Western comforts and concepts from all over the world like the urban baths of Japan.
It appears more expensive it's located in Centum City which is one of the, if not THE , world's largest department store as of but maybe you'll say it's worth the penny when you experience it for yourself starting with none of that awkwardness because you're a foreigner.
I've been here a few years ago and just came back this month. I must say that they've upgraded this place with more amenities and choices for their guests, esp.
You can definitely go here, armed with just enough Korean won and English only as they will take care of the rest ;. This place is memorable for me because of the shock that came with bathing with everybody of your same sex in your birthday suit.
