A free open-air footbath in the Dongnae hot-spring district, fed directly by the source that appears in records going back to the Silla era — the oldest documented hot spring in Korea. You roll up your trousers and soak your feet in genuinely hot mineral water alongside chatting neighborhood elders. For travelers hesitant about full Korean bathhouse nudity, it is a zero-commitment way to try the water.
Local context
Bring a small towel since none are provided, and rinse your feet at the tap before stepping in like everyone else. It closes a couple of weekdays each week and for much of January, with shorter winter hours, so check the schedule before making the trip.
