Sauna Bus Helps Users Refresh their Bodies, Minds; City Buses Reborn as Saunas - The Japan News

Unused buses, renovated and reborn as mobile wood-fired saunas, are being rented out to hot spring facilities, campsites, event venues and other places across the country. The buses are called Sabus, or sauna buses.Originally, there was only one Sabus, and it was based in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. However, since this summer’s completion of the second Sabus, which is based in Kawasaki, there are more opportunities to see the mobile sauna in eastern Japan.
