Hurshimchung occupies a vast hall in Dongnae, the hot spring quarter of Busan, with dozens of pools under a high glass roof: hot and cold basins, jet baths, herbal and mugwort pools, waterfall showers and outdoor tubs, alongside kiln saunas. The mineral water is drawn from the Dongnae springs beneath the district.

It is the Korean bathhouse at full scale — an afternoon's ritual of pools, scrubbing and sauna in the country's oldest documented hot spring district.

湯について

温泉水

源泉: Dongnae hot springs
溶存成分: Sodium chloride mineral water
湯の性質: Salty, mildly alkaline thermal water drawn from the Dongnae field beneath the district and distributed to the bathhouse pools.

歴史

Dongnae's springs appear in Korean records from the Silla period and served royal visitors and, later, a colonial-era spa town. Hurshimchung opened in 1991 beside Hotel Nongshim, gathering the district's bathing tradition into a single very large facility; a public foot bath still stands on the street outside.

実用情報

Bathing is naked and strictly separated by gender, as in all Korean bathhouses. Optional attendants provide the traditional full-body scrub; allow two to three hours.
