Karafuro
Some say this ancient sauna was made by the Buddhist priest Gyoki to help cure the sick when he went to Sanuki about 1,300 years ago in Nara period. 1.2 meters wide and 2.7 meters deep, the chamber is made with stones from Teshima Island, the spaces between them filled in with clay. Using it is said to be help with nerve pain, rheumatism, stiff shoulders, sensitivity to cold, and recovery from fatigue, warming the body to the core. It's a good idea to bring pajamas, sweatshirts, and sweat towels when you visit.
