Visited post-hike, so I was happy for any bath. Like many Kyoto sento, it was surprisingly small so managing all my hiking gear took patience and cunning. The unique name of this sento is not from a Disney film, but it comes from a German hot spring. The water is treated to mimic the mineral content of the aforementioned German spring. There's a nice cold water bath with a utase. The main bath has jets with somewhat determined seating. Space in the baths was hard to find with the group of kids there on the Sunday night I visited. That said, it's a lovely place, and the kid made it all the more enjoyable. If you've been watching the NHK morning drama "Come, Come, Everyone," the neighborhood really looks like the Kyoto one depicted in the show.

To sum up, the water treatment was remarkably unnoticeable. Still, that detriment was made up by the happy feeling of the place in general. But, again, it is really small so try to visit outside peak times.
