Safi Spa Okinawa will host the OKINAWA SAUNA & POOL NIGHT PARTY, a special Sauna & Night Pool event, for two days only on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The event will be held at the outdoor poolside on the 1st floor of Safi Spa Okinawa. Admission and event viewing are free for both hotel guests and day visitors (facility usage fees apply).
This special summer event combines a sauna experience, the open atmosphere of a night pool, and a variety of live performances. At the poolside venue, guests can enjoy Aufguss sauna performances, fire dance shows, Polynesian dance, Eisa drum performances, and other entertainment that brings the Okinawa night to life.
Please see below for more details about the event.
Aufguss Sauna Performance
The highlight of this event is the special Aufguss sauna performance by Namiking, the popular “heat wave” sauna idol.
Aufguss is a sauna performance in which aromatic water is poured over heated sauna stones to create steam, and the steam is then fanned toward participants using a towel. Combining heat, aroma, music, and the performer’s unique style, Aufguss offers a live entertainment experience that has become increasingly popular across Japan as sauna culture continues to grow.
Namiking is a popular Aufguss performer known for high-energy performances and a friendly, approachable personality that attracts sauna fans from across Japan. The outdoor Aufguss sessions offer a unique experience that is different from traditional indoor sauna events, thanks to the open-air setting.
The outdoor sauna can be enjoyed by both men and women together, making it an ideal activity for couples, friends, and groups looking to share the experience.
◎ By purchasing one session, you can join other sessions on the same day at no additional charge (subject to capacity limits).
Night Pool Event
The illuminated outdoor pool creates a completely different atmosphere from daytime, transforming the resort into a unique nighttime escape. Relaxing in the water while enjoying live performances by the poolside is a special experience available only during these two evenings, where music, fire, and the gentle night breeze come together to create unforgettable summer memories.
Night pool access is free for hotel guests. Day visitors can enjoy the night pool and outdoor sauna with a combined package priced at ¥3,850.
Swimwear and other rental items are available at the Safi Spa Okinawa reception desk on the 1st floor.
Polynesian Dance & Fire Dance Shows
Set against the backdrop of the poolside at night, guests can enjoy spectacular Polynesian dance and fire dance performances. The vibrant energy of tropical dance and the dramatic sight of flames lighting up the night sky create a memorable atmosphere, beautifully reflected on the water of the night pool.
Experience a unique resort setting available only during these two special evenings, and enjoy an unforgettable escape from the ordinary.
Eisa Drum Performance
Guests can also enjoy a traditional Eisa performance, one of Okinawa’s most beloved summer cultural traditions. The powerful sound of the drums and dynamic dance movements offer a firsthand experience of Okinawa’s vibrant culture and energy. Familiar and meaningful to local residents, Eisa also provides visitors from other parts of Japan and overseas with a valuable opportunity to experience the atmosphere of an authentic Okinawan summer festival.
DJ Performance | DJ NAKAMURA
Throughout the event, music from DJ NAKAMURA will keep the atmosphere lively, creating a unified and energetic poolside experience. Working together with the live performances, the DJ set plays a key role in maintaining the excitement and energy of the event from start to finish.
