1. A sauna trip is a "little escape to reset your mind and body"

Even if you have a busy day at work or a bad week,

When you enter a sauna, the world becomes just a little softer.

In search of such a moment of relaxation , I decided to take a one-night sauna trip on the weekend.

The appeal of a sauna trip is that you don't have to go far and can create an "out-of-the-ordinary experience" that's easily accessible .

・In summer, outdoor bathing is the best

・In winter, the crisp, cool air outside will help you feel more relaxed.

・On rainy days, the steam from the sauna feels so good.

The interesting thing about sauna trips is that the experience changes depending on the weather and your physical condition, so no two trips are exactly the same.

It's also a free travel theme,
You can also enjoy things like "visiting local saunas," "a girls' sauna trip with friends," or "going to the sauna solo late at night."

A sauna trip is much easier than a regular trip because you don't need much.

However, this "lightness" comes with one hassle - wet or damp luggage can get mixed in .

The biggest feature of a sauna trip is that it is a trip that is easy to repeat .

・Just after work

Since you can carry it out with just a flick of a switch in your mind, a suitcase that is easy to move around in and handle is the perfect match .

旅のタイプ おすすめサイズ 理由
日帰りサウナ Sサイズ or バックパック 着替え＋タオルで十分

2〜3泊のサウナ旅 機内持ち込み or M小さめ（40〜50L） 衣類が増えても扱いやすい

✔Points
The lighter and smaller your sauna trip, the more comfortable it will be.
The larger the suitcase, the more difficult it is, especially on the way home when you're in ``relaxation mode in the sauna.''

Title

2. Waterproof pockets are a must-have

This is the most convenient thing for a sauna trip.

"Wet towels, sweat-soaked T-shirts, damp sauna hats, and water droplets on shower products."

Just having a place where you can throw these things away is a good idea.
It will make your trip so much easier.

Advantages of a waterproof pocket (wet pocket) :

-Do not wet other clothes

・Prevents odor transfer

・Easy to clean up even when you're tired on the way home

・Easy to respond when you are in a hurry at the facility

A suitcase like this that's easy to organize is perfect for a sauna trip.

Title

3. A lightweight model is ideal for sauna trips

The relaxation mode after a sauna makes your body feel strangely loose.

Pulling a heavy suitcase in that state will require more energy than you might think.

So, it's best to choose a lightweight model if possible.

・Easy to use on stairs and steps

・No stress when traveling by subway

・Easy to maneuver and moves smoothly

It's also a great option for visiting saunas in the city.

Title

4. Casters and structures that are quiet and have brakes are reassuring

Sauna facilities are surprisingly quiet spaces,
There are times when the sound of the casters can be a little awkward.

With silent casters , you can move around the hotel at night with peace of mind.

Also, the casters with brakes are really convenient when you want to organize your belongings after a bath.

- It won't move around on its own while you're organizing it.

・Stability even when waiting for a train

・Safe even on slopes

A sauna trip is a "relaxed trip," so this kind of stress reduction has a gradual effect.

Title

5. The exterior material is easy to handle: "PC material or ABS + PC"

Since a sauna trip involves a lot of movement around water, it's best to use a case made of a material that is water-repellent and easy to clean .

・PC (polycarbonate)
→ Lightweight and durable. Looks luxurious. Easy to clean.

・ABS+PC
→ Lightweight and easy to carry, perfect for traveling with you on sauna trips.

Although cloth soft cases are light, they are not very suitable for sauna trips where you will have a lot of wet items.
