Evolutionary earthbag sauna "KUu" to be born in Okinawa.

Development Background

In our stressful society, we need a place where we can be free from our overcrowded daily lives, have time for ourselves, and regain our true selves.

Saunas are believed to promote relaxation of the body and mind, relieve stress, and refresh one's mood. Saunas are popular among people of all ages because the warm environment promotes blood circulation, making it easier to condition the body, and provides an invigorating sensation through perspiration.

After the success of the world's first* earthbag sauna [THE ZEN], we conceived the next project [KUu] to pursue harmony with nature. We aim to create a new sauna experience in Onna Village, Okinawa, a sacred place that resonates with the magnificent nature and liberates the mind and body.
