The Hurshimchung is located in Dongnae, Busan. Dongnae is a famous hot spring village in Busan. The Hurshimchung hot spring is highly recommended by the local people, I could not find any foreigners when I visited there. The Hurshimchung hot spring is not in a traditional Korean hot spring style, jimjibang. The Hurshimchung is divided into two areas, one is... More

Visiting this sauna was probably my biggest regret during my otherwise relaxing and fun Busan trip. You really have to go out of your way to get to this spa. I took the metro then had to walk for about 20 minutes and got lost along the way. Perhaps there is an easier route but I wouldn't bother. It isn't... More

I've been to 3 spas in Korea and this was the only one that had you be naked the whole time. Nothing outside the baths. Most are warm--only 1 cold and 3 lukewarm such that I could find. They have waterfalls that will knock you over if you're not careful and lots of TVs all showing different shows if you... More

Having gone to Spa Land the day before, Hurshimchung was a huge letdown. The price is about the same as Spa land - but the facility is much older, dirtier, and not as unique. Also there is not much point in having wristbands when you still have to carry around $$ to pay for everything. Not worth it unless you... More

It is a huge spa with many spring water pools. Even equipped with an indoor swimming pool. There are also a few sauna rooms (such as Ice Room, Charcoal Wood Room, Jewellery Room) which are located at the jjimbang area (mixed area).

This place is nice and there is a good variety of pools and saunas. Very large and open area, also an outdoor area with a few pools. Though it is a bit of a mission to get here and a little out of the way. Asides from the pools are is a jimjilbang and a few more communal saunas and... More

This hot springs is the biggest in Busan. In the women's section there are quite a lot of children running around. It would be nice if they would create a family section so screaming children wouldn't disturb the tranquility of other guests. There is also some nice outdoors hot springs.

Hurshimchung Oncheon (Hotspring) and Jjimjilbang is a great place to try out the medicinal benefits of the Dongnae sodium hot springs of Busan. Getting There: The Oncheon/Jjimjilbang is part of Hotel Nongshim complex. Catch Line 1, the Orange line, to Oncheonjang. Use Exit 1. There is a neighbourhood map on the wall by this exit. Turn left and walk straight... More
