Yu no Cho Yokujyo

Yu no Cho Yokujyo

I only learned about this small and lovely little bathhouse up on the hill thanks to the Sento stamp rally. I came here after my last day at work for the year. It was a bit of an emotional day and I was in a melancholic mood. The clean white walls of this sento gave it a heavenly feel, the shallow long kake-yu tub in the middle provided a good space to sit and just pour the water over myself--an ablution of the year’s difficulties. I was comforted by listening to the grandfathers in the bath chat among themselves about the end of the year preparations. The 3 baths along the bath were deep, shallow and jet. Some of the signage here seemed very old and unlike what I have seen before. This is a unique, little sento with a great name, check it out if you can!
Also this is the first sento that uses Yokujyo 浴場 (lit. bath place) in its name rather than sento, yu or onsen. Interesting.
