About

A public bath founded in 1928, a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Ikejiri-Ohashi Station (Tokyu Denentoshi Line). Fully renovated in March 2011 around a "SLOW" concept, it plays jazz throughout the lobby and bathing area. The bathhouse features a rare circular Mt. Fuji mural painted by Morio Nakajima, one of only three remaining traditional bathhouse mural painters (penki-e) in Tokyo, along with a nanobubble "nano-yu" bath, a soft-water bath filtered from natural well water, a body jet bath, a sitting bath, and a cold bath. The dry sauna has automatic loyly every 20 minutes. Closed every Wednesday. Admission follows Tokyo's uniform government-controlled public bath rate (¥600 for adults), with the sauna costing an extra ¥500.
