More infoJJ Family Spa is Metro Vancouver's go-to Korean jjimjilbang in Coquitlam, run on the theory that two people who sweat together talk more honestly. Check in, pull on the provided pyjamas, and drift between the earth, charcoal, and salt rooms on the coed sauna floor. Then lie on a heated floor and talk about whatever surfaces when there's nowhere to be. Entry is famously cheap; add a body scrub.
Entry's famously cheap, so settle in for the long haul. Change into the provided pyjamas for the coed sauna floor and drift between the earth, charcoal and salt rooms, then brave the gender-separated hot-and-cold tubs. The genius is the rhythm: roast, cool off, lie on a heated floor, repeat, and talk for hours. Add a body scrub to leave a layer of stress behind. Budget two-plus hours, come for the heat, not the decor.
