Enjoy a private Onsen spa session with beautiful Japanese Yukata at j, with annual passes available

As the year draws to an end and if you are looking for a place to relax, Joya Onsen Cafe awaits you!

Before you begin your day at Joya Onsen Cafe, get changed into a beautiful set of Japanese Yukata!

Usually, the Onsen Spa experience is meant to be enjoyed in the public and in our bathing suits. However, if you are shy to go to the public Onsen pool as Joya Onsen Spa has Private bathhouses as well.

Personal Onsen Bath 

How nice would it be to have your very own bathhouse? This would make it a great bonding opportunities for family members, friends or even couples!

Personal shower and dressing area 

In the private bathhouse, you can enjoy a slightly bigger shower area with more privacy– as the public ones have a more open shower concept. Safe the hassle of bringing your own soap and shampoo as everything is provided.

Afterwards, you can take your time to dry your hair and get dressed up. Towels, hair ties, disposable undergarments are provided!

Once you perhaps warmed up a little, you can still check out the public Onsen pools which has a hot and ice bath.

In terms of aesthetics, no doubt the public onsen spa has a better ambience and a more scenic feel. However, it won’t make much of a difference as no photography is allowed in this area.

There is also a nice cafe decked in tatami mats for you to sit down and enjoy some food. We didn’t try out the food at the cafe. However, we heard that the parfaits and drinks they serve were splendid!

5 beginner-friendly tips to overcome any escape room like a pro

Escape rooms are one of the most enjoyable activities. Putting yourself in a scenario and solving puzzles may sound easy, but is indeed challenging.

If you are one of those who feels that you’ll never solve those riddles and puzzles, you are not alone! Here are some tips that even beginners can master to become a pro!

1. Listen for clues 

Listening to the backstory of every escape room is important! What do you have to look out for in order to escape?

2. Look at the big picture

Examining the set of the escape room for awhile can help to gather clues as well. Look out for some of the prominent places that clues can be.

Don’t be shy to interact with the set– especially some escape rooms are interactive!

3. Work together with your friends 

More brains are better than one! Rather than splitting up to solve the puzzles on your own, work together and piece the puzzles together.

Different individuals have different insights after all!

4. Take photos for memories 

Do remember to capture those fun moments as it will likely be a once-in-the-lifetime experience in the same escape room.

Most of the setups are rather Instagram-worthy too!

5. Enjoy and have fun 

Escape rooms are one of the best activities for bonding with your loved ones. Do not be so stressed out with the puzzles and just have fun!
