About
A natural hot-spring sento in Taito's Nihonzutsumi area, an 11-minute walk from Minowa Station (Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line). All baths, showers, and taps use natural hot-spring soft water. The large open-air bath has two kama-buro cauldron tubs on each side plus a shared donburi tub, while the indoor baths include an electric bath, jet-massage and sitting baths, a Korean-ginseng herbal bath called "Hoju-yu," and a high-concentration carbonated bath. Both the men's and women's saunas run 90-95C with auto-loyly; the women's side pairs with a 16C ambient cold bath (plus a separate electric cold bath), the men's side with a 17C micro-bubble cold bath. A wood-stove-heated trailer sauna (capacity 12, with a 16C spring-fed cold bath) opened in December 2024. Admission is 600 yen, with sauna access a separate 600 yen. Hours run 14:00-23:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, and 12:00-23:00 on Sundays and public holidays (last entry 22:30 either way), closed Wednesdays. The official FAQ states that guests with tattoos are welcome.
