Tea Bath in Sayama! Mesmerized by the Green Water… But Was It Really?!

Sightseeing area

Hello, fellow travel lovers!

今回はお茶処・狭山市で話題(?)のお茶風呂が楽しめる日帰り入浴施設「狭山の茶湯」に行ってきました🍵

The moment you enter, it's all about tea!

As soon as I stepped into the spacious lobby, I thought, “Whoa, this place is huge!”

On the way to the bath, I caught a whiff of fragrant tea in the air. My excitement shot through the roof!

I took a deep breath and thought, “This must be the sacred land of Sayama tea!” Yep, I totally inhaled as much of that scent as I could (lol).

Ready, set… Tea bath!

Here we go—the grand bath awaits!

When I reached the main bath, I imagined a vibrant green tub with tea leaves floating around… But in reality? Just a slight green tint. And the amazing tea aroma? Nowhere to be found! 🫢

Still, even without the scent, I was already in full-on relaxation mode.

I could see Lake Tama—it had a bit of a Moomin Valley vibe!

If I can see out… can they see in?

This thought suddenly crossed my mind: "If I can see out this clearly… maybe people out there can see in too!?" 😅

Let’s just assume we’re safe and enjoy the bath!

Sauna + tea-themed goodies = total refresh!

Okay, I’ll admit—the tea scent in the bath didn’t quite live up to the hype. But the sauna was great, and with that relaxing view, I was completely refreshed. 🌿

At the gift shop in the lobby, I picked up a Sayama tea bath soak and a fragrant mist spray that smells just like brewed tea.
They’re now my go-to items when I need a quick mood boost at home!
