Rebuilt in 2020 into one of the best-designed small bathhouses in Tokyo, with separate sauna concepts for the men's and women's sides and a bar counter that gives it more of an evening than most sento. The outdoor space is an air-bathing deck, not a bath, and the water is ordinary heated bathhouse water.

Scored from official photos, maps and transport information — not from a visit.

The baths

Indoor bath

Renovated in August 2020. Tubs are a hot bath, a medicinal bath, a carbonated bath and a cold plunge. The men's side has an auto-loyly sauna in bamboo-leaf stone and hiba wood with its own deep cold bath; the women's side has a self-loyly sauna in domestic hinoki. The outdoor space is an air-bathing deck, not an open-air tub. This is an ordinary public bathhouse, not a natural hot spring.
