This Japan themed is authentic enough you’ll forget that you’re in San Francisco. As in Japan, clothing is optional, and bathing is communal. That doesn’t get in the way of relaxation. Silence is paramount, and the atmosphere is quite meditative. The most common bathing cycle sees you get a salt scrub, soak up heat in the sauna, cool off in the cold pool, and then warm up again in the hot pool.

For those of you not at all down with clothing optional days, you’re in luck. Tuesdays is clothing mandatory.
