Private-room anma in the white building with columns behind Seolleung Station.
ARIA is an anma, a Korean-style massage house, in Seolleung. It was once known as Castle: the white building with columns is just as it was, and the sign still reads SEO HO. Inside, every room is private with its own shower, and one to one is the standard. There are many therapists on each shift, so tell the front desk the type you like. English and Japanese are both fine. No reservation is needed: feel free to come by and ask the front desk anything.
