Your first jjimjilbang — 8 steps

1. 1
   Pay & take a key

   At the counter — you get a wristband (locker) and uniform.
2. 2
   Shoe locker

   Right at the door, shoes off, keep the small key inside the big locker.
3. 3
   Gender-split bath floor

   Strip down — bathing is fully nude. Wash thoroughly at a stool (Korean rule: never enter the soaking tub dirty).
4. 4
   Bath / sauna circuit

   Rotate hot pool → cold pool → wet sauna. 5–10 min each, drink water between.
5. 5
   Dress in the uniform

   After bathing, towel off, put on the issued T-shirt + shorts. This is the public-area uniform.
6. 6
   Sleeping & food common area

   Mixed-gender. Sleeping rooms (often heated floors) + restaurant + ice room + jjimjil sauna pods.
7. 7
   Sleep

   On heated floor with a wooden block pillow + a small pillow you can rent.
8. 8
   Checkout

   Hand back the wristband. Settle any food / drink charges (auto-billed to the wristband).
