サウナのドアの取っ手に、そのフックを引っ掛けて手前に引くと開きますよ。
さうなのどあのとってに、そのふっくをひっかけててまえにひくとあきますよ。
Just hook that plastic key into the slot on the sauna door handle and pull it toward you to open it.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up the plastic/metal hook-style sauna key to show the receptionist or another guest.
Never enter the sauna without paying the extra fee. The special hook key is proof of payment; wearing it around your wrist/neck is mandatory in many sentos.
