Gokurakuyu <\/a>is the name of the Japanese bathhouse branch, which found its way to Shanghai back in 2013 and introduced Japanese bathing culture to the Chinese people. Of course it\u00b4s not an easy matter for Chinese people to be naked in front of each other. But Japanese bathhouses (so-called Onsen) are just awesome. Also more and more Chinese appreciate these institutions and that’s why on a rainy Sunday afternoon lots of families, couples and friends find their way to this big Japanese Onsen-spa (jap. for hot spring) to bath, hang out and to have fun. I am totally with them, because: What else could be better on a grey, wet and cold Shanghai winter-day than to relax in 40 degree hot water, to clean the pores in the salt sauna, to be tickled in the “electric bath”, to relieve or feel some pressure during a massage?<\/p>\n

\"Gokurakuyu\"<\/p>\n

In contrast to us the Chinese visitors seem to enjoy something else even more:\u00a0Gokurakuyu is really big, new and modern. And features lots of entertainment facilities, which Chinese love so much:<\/p>\n
