I love this onsen. Very friendly staff and there's always a cold refreshment after bathing. There are days where the mens and womens sides switch daily. It is a tattoo-friendly onsen as well. You can pay at the ticket machine for your towel rentals and other items if you need. Once inside your area for either men or women, you can put a towel on your head when you take a dip in the hot springs. DO NOT WEAR YOUR TOWEL AROUND YOUR BODY IN THE WATER. In addition to this, the onsen stays open late as well - double check their hours if you need to.
Please keep in mind if you visit here as a tourist, you cannot wear your personal swim suits in the hot spring baths as it is considered UNHYGIENIC. You must shower or use the body soap to wash yourself thoroughly BEFORE you get into the hot spring baths.
Please do not try to insist on wearing a swimsuit and haggle your way to do so with the staff. No one wears anything inside the onsen. It is their rules, it is their business, it is their country. Please respect that and respect the locals. What you can freely do in your country is not the same for other countries. Last friendly reminder, you're a guest in Japan. Please throw away your trash in a trash can inside the convenience stores or train stations. Although it may be hard to find a trash can, I wish other tourists can be more mindful of how they act and not make a mess of things on the grounds of Japan. Japan is such a beautiful country - It does not deserve...
Read moreThis public bath has certain aspects that may not provide a fully comfortable and welcoming experience for all visitors. This review has been prepared in accordance with Google Maps review guidelines. During my visit, I observed situations that caused me some concern regarding the overall atmosphere. Specifically, I noticed individuals being frequently escorted from the premises by local authorities under circumstances that seemed unusual and targeted. While I cannot definitively state the reasons, the repeated nature of these incidents was unsettling. Furthermore, I felt a sense of being uncomfortably observed by staff or individuals who appeared to be affiliated with the establishment. This pervasive presence, giving the impression of constant monitoring within the bathing and changing areas, made it difficult to truly relax and enjoy the facilities. For those seeking a completely open and unreservedly welcoming environment, or simply a place where one can unwind without feeling scrutinized, this particular establishment might not meet your expectations for a peaceful public bath experience. I hope this information is helpful for...
Read moreI actually like this place since it’s tattoo friendly but recently it’s becoming unpleasant so I use less frequently. I understand that the business needs to survive, especially post pandemics, but the price jumped to ¥500 and time decreased to 90 mins. Also, they don’t have control over customers but sometimes you can’t get to enjoy relaxing there as a set of old women keep hogging the carbonated bath and some also hog the shower area even though there are signs requesting people to refrain from doing those things. I understand it’s difficult to complain to customers as they don’t want to turn them away but unruly customers makes it unpleasant for everyone. That said, I personally avoid odd dates because women are assigned the smaller side without the outdoor bath. (maybe that’s why it feels crowded and unpleasant). Sometimes noisy kids are there (also saw someone bring a newborn baby here, shocking for me). Hope the staff can address those issues. Besides that, it’s fairly clean for a sento ( public bath) and a great way to re-energize your aching body. Also easy walk from Skytree or...
