Aguro-no-Yu

Aguro-no-Yu

Kobe's best super sento experience. I've been here a many times and enjoyed it each time. The spring water is superb and a little hotter than normal baths.

The layout focuses mostly on the outside with the many baths placed along a circular route. The largest outdoor bath has two levels and is built with large stones giving it a very natural feel. The smaller, upper one has the straight well water. The many tub baths are placed in a way to give the bather a sense of privacy. The most popular seems to be the cedar lined bath that has a TV.

Inside there's a great maze of jet baths. Some other super sentos have ones similar to this. The look like an old NES Legend of Zelda dungeon from above. It's one large square bath with walls separating each of the different jets. Fun to play around in if it is not too busy.

This is a really busy supersento. I think that's why can get away with their high prices. The manners of some of your fellow bathers, especially the high school boys, can be annoying. If you can look beyond that, or your timing is lucky you can really enjoy this wonderful supersento.

The name Aguro comes from the chain of home centers that own the supersento called Aguro Garden. In the same shopping center there is an Aguro Garden that has imported beer and groceries on the second floor. Good to check out.

I have had the food here once or twice and did not think much of it. It was a lazy choice for me and one I will not be repeating.

Aguro no Yu is only a few seconds from the station, has a great natural spring, and is very clean. Highly Recommended.

Update 2018: Still coming here, still like it. The home center next door is still awesome.
