Saunas are very popular in Korea
and they are popular places for Koreans to go and relax.
There are mainly two types of saunas: mogyoktang
and jjimjilbang. They both offer Jacuzzis,
showers, dry and wet saunas, but jjimjilbang also offer
snack lounges, PC rooms and relaxation lounges and they
are open 24 hours a day. The PC rooms, snack lounges and
other facilities are in common for men and women and people
wear a bathing suit or bathrobe, while the proper sauna
facilities (Jacuzzi, steam rooms, showers, dry saunas)
are in separate segregated areas for men and women and
no bathing suits are allowed.
Korean saunas or jimjilbang usually have excellent facilities,
such as many types of hot baths, of which some are made
with clay, ginseng or green tea. There are also 
different
types of saunas and afterwards it is possible to have
facials, body scrubs (in the Korean tradition bathers
scrub each other’s back with special sponges, but
in some places there are also beauticians available) and
massages (traditional Korean massage is called Ji-ap).
Also, typically Korean is a kiln sauna, called han-jeung-mak,
which is a heated stone dome with a small low opening.
The most popular and exclusive saunas and massage centres
in Seoul are located in areas like Myeongdong, Itaewon
and Apgujeong.
