It’s a nice public bath and spa. 750¥ for adults, and rental of big and small towel set for 150¥.
There’s also the option to go on the stone bed, salt bed and jade bed for ¥750. It’s a nice experience and there’s also a cold room when you feel too hot from lying on those treatments.
The beds are on the left side of the spa while the baths are on the right side when you first enter from the towel counter.
Collection of towels and clothes to transfer to stone/salt/jade beds are to be done at counter. They will take your shoe locker key and give you another number tag for return of the rental items.
Inside the female bath, there are 3 types of baths - electro magnetic bath, jacuzzi (standing and lying down) and cold bath at 18 degrees.
Outdoor bath consists of a sakura bath at 41 degrees, a sulphuric deposit bath, and sleeping bath and 3 individual bath bowls with flowing water from bamboo.
There’s tv in the outdoor area.
The spa has a lot of people but enough of space to cycle through all the customers. Bring your own towel if you don’t want to rent. There’s shampoo, body gel and conditioner.
Last thing to note is to prepare 5 pieces of 100¥ coins. Shoe locker, storage locker, hair dryer, and vending machine all requires 100¥ coins to work.
Please look properly at the card at every hair dryer - it states the duration for paid use. Some dryers do 5 min for 100¥ and others can charge 8 min for 200¥.
This public bath also has comic area with lounging spaces that comes with bean bag and pillows for you to relax. Plenty of vending machines and a restaurant on site - closes at 10pm (last order 9:30pm.)

Read moreAwesome super sento tucked away in the heart of a residential neighborhood in Osaka. 1 block away from a great Airbnb location, good food there, but good for all around that neighborhood as well.
The bath has a remarkable peaceful rotenburo area, considering you are in the heart of Osaka, with a very nicely outfitted bath and sauna section indoors. For sento fans, it has all the bells and whistles: jet bath, two saunas, electric bath, cold plunge, walking bath, cedar bath, laying down floor bath, and mineral salt bath. It's a really great way to wind down and end your day in the city (or start your night!)
There's also a sauna center there. Don't know how to describe this in English, but it's a Korean thing that has caught on big-time in Japan. Ganbanyoku is the Japanese word, but it's pretty standard in South Korean jimjilbangs. It's a bunch of different temperature saunas with different lighting, sounds, and moisture/humidity levels, and it's exceptionally relaxing to go from one to the other. I especially like the one that's like an igloo/fridge. So nice after the doing the super hot one for as long as you can stand!
Anyway, really fantastic place, super cheap for what you get, not on the beaten path, and definitely not a place your going to see many tourists, as the whole communal bathing thing still tends to be a weird thing (for some Americans, at least) But honestly, a truly great end to every day I be spent in Osaka. Couldn't give this place higher...
Read moreNo tattoos are permitted (it's a cultural thing here). Sorry. But, if you don't have tattoos, this place has stone saunas that are co-ed (everyone wears PJs). For people taking a break, there are places to eat, comics, and video games, As for the hot springs, there are many different types including a milky pool, jet pools, electric pool. Outside, there are mini tubs for singles, a big pool with a TV, a scented pool, and shallow pools to lie down in. The place provides shampoo, conditioner, body soap, blow dryers, and coin lockers. Rental towels are provided for a small fee. The place is more expensive than tiny local places at ¥800, but worth the extra fee. The only downside is that it is located in the middle of the fish market, so once you leave, the area may...
