<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sauna device capable of preventing propagation of germs in a drain trap. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The sauna device includes a heating means 9 for heating water in a water storage part 6; a water pipe 7 for feeding water to the water storage part 6; a feed-water valve 8 for opening/closing the water pipe 7; a drain pipe 12 for draining water within the water storage part 6; a drain valve 13 for opening/closing the drain pipe 12; the drain trap 14 disposed on the way of the drain pipe 12; and water crushing means 23, 25 and 30 for crushing hot water stored in the water storage part 6 and generating fine droplets and negative ions. The fine droplets and negative ions are fed into a sauna room 2 for the sauna operation. After termination of the sauna operation, hot water within the water storage part 6 is heated by the heating means 9 and the water crushing means 23 is driven to execute a sterilization mode to heat the hot water in the water storage part 6 at such temperature as to heat and sterilize hot water for a prescribed period of time. When the sterilization mode is terminated, the drain valve 13 is opened, and after draining the hot water within the water storage part 6, the feed-water valve 8 is opened to feed water for a fixed period of time.
