Sakaeyu

i am a known frequent visitor of this sento, as i dance and get sore and fatigued often and also suffer from chronic pain. i will say that of all the sentos in the area, this one is by far the best! for starters, it is tattoo friendly - some sentos are but a suprising amount still are not even as i write this in the end of 2023. the staff are really kind, and there are many regulars to the facility which creates a very welcoming atmosphere. i speak japanese but i have seen staff present instructions in english to foreigners who are worried about doing something “wrong.” spacious dressing room, and as for other amenities, hair dryers are ¥20 for 3 minutes, there is shampoo and body soap (no conditioner) available in the showers, and you can rent many items such as different sized towels at the front. i have never seen the facility anything but clean, the staff are constantly walking around tending to the areas. the sauna is lovely and has a tv you can watch (though it’s always japanese talk shows or dramas so foreigners won’t understand) as for the baths - some who aren’t used to hot baths might find the main baths a little difficult to be in for a period of time but the outdoor bath is very comfortable and doable for those not used to it. overall, great place and i love seeing more and more foreign tourists visiting! if you are unsure on where to go this is the place!
