This is a really friendly retro sento. Two baths—that is it. One used to be electric, but it is broken now. The main bath is separated into deep and shallow sections, as is common, but this one has a random jet too. There used to be a (steam?) sauna, but it's not working anymore. Now, it's the home to some lovely fake plants. The key to enjoying this sento is taking in all the tile work. This is a must-go place for tile lovers as they are absolutely fabulous. They are reminiscent of the patterns in an Eastern European grandma's head scarf. The drainage system here is the old style with a single drain between the men's and women's sides. The water flows into that central drain with the help of little channels on the floor and along the washing stations. There are a few showers here, but this is a bucket-rinsing place.

The changing room has a remarkable array of random old curiosities, with the 60s or '70s electric fan being the highlight. The breeze from this fan feels better than any modern fan, making it a fantastic way to dry off after your bath. Hand-drawn artwork scattered all over the walls makes the place even more welcoming. Finally, remember to check out the pit toilet to admire the design and aged wood enclosure.

Nobody was in the band when I came in, so I just went and bathed and paid on the way out. The grandmotherly owner was completely OK about it. So if no one's there, go ahead and head in; make sure you pay as you leave.

100% recommended.
