Higashi-yu

Higashi-yu

Quite small and packed with various baths hugging the middle wall. It reminded me very much of the now closed Takahane Onsen in Nada which I really enjoyed when I first moved to japan. This is one of the bath designs where the water is constantly flowing and recycled from the drain so please don’t spit or ring out your towel into it. There’s a mellow steam sauna in the back and a two person big outdoor bath that has a funny sign saying taking a peek at the women’s side is a crime. I guess there was a problem once. All my fellow bathers were quite unique when I went, great people watching. There was also a huge gang of elementary school boys who had a great time splashing around. Fun, friendly place. I love the neon outside.
