You can also experience two types of Löyly: the beautiful sweat Löyly, which promotes skin beautification and recovery from fatigue, and the high-temperature sauna Löyly, which promotes sweating from the core of the body.

Beginner

7 minutes walk from JR Ozone Station

A famous restaurant originated from salt-yakisoba with a blue signboard.

A coffee shop with a retro Showa atmosphere and an extensive menu. It is also known as the birthplace of salt yakisoba. The recommended dish is the hearty King Soba, which is served with fried noodles and curry rice. King Soba looks satisfying and the chewy, medium-thick noodles go perfectly with the rich curry. It's located next to the gymnasium. Yamamoto and other members often enjoy foods here.
