A charcoal kiln is a different heat from a jjimjilbang's heated room. The kilns here are held at low, medium and high temperatures, so you work through them in stages rather than picking one and staying in it.
About: Supsok Hanbang Land is at 75-7 Bongwonsa-gil, in Bongwon-dong, on the Seodaemun side of Ansan and next to Bongwonsa temple.
The format is the charcoal kiln rather than the jjimjilbang: domed kilns fired with oak charcoal and held at low, medium and high temperatures. Men's and women's bathhouses are separate. There is a restaurant on site, and a fire pit at the kilns where sweet potatoes and rice cakes are roasted.
The grounds open at 06:30 and close at 22:00; the kilns themselves run from 08:00 to 21:00. Getting there means a bus — Sinchon Station on Line 2, then the bus towards Bongwonsa — and the Ansan trails start from the same spot.
