This guide is for travelers searching the old SaunaLab name. Reception is at Wellbe Fukuoka on the second floor, while the women-only sauna area remains on the first floor. It is a sauna experience with showers and an ice room, not an onsen bathhouse with a hot bath or water bath.
What changed from SaunaLab Fukuoka?
Since July 11, 2025, the independent SaunaLab Fukuoka has been incorporated into Wellbe Fukuoka. The women-only area keeps its Finnish-style sauna rooms, including larger group rooms and compact solo spaces. Admission also covers the shared Sauna Theater, ICE SAUNA, restaurant and rest/work space upstairs. Men cannot enter the first-floor women-only area.

Sauna visit or reserved whisking
Choose ordinary admission for the women-only saunas and shared facilities. Swimsuit, sauna wear and towels are available, so travelers can visit with light luggage; follow staff instructions on what to wear in each zone. Whisking is a guided treatment using bundled birch branches and steam. It is women-only in the Fukuoka women’s program, starts from a separate morning reception time and must be booked through the official form.
Reception and subway access
The address is Rotary Daiwa Building, 8-12 Gionmachi, Hakata-ku. Kushida Shrine-mae Station is the closest subway stop, and Hakata Station is roughly a ten-minute walk. Enter Wellbe Fukuoka and check in at the second-floor front desk before moving to the first-floor women-only area. Ask staff if the route or clothing system is unclear.
Important points for a first visit
- There is no hot bath or water bath in the women-only or shared area; cooling is through the ICE SAUNA.
- The standard sauna visit is walk-in, but special dates, programs and temporary closures can change availability.
- Provided swimsuit sizes and amenities may not suit everyone; bring your own suitable clothing or skin-care items when necessary.
