*Closed* Arima-Yu
*Closed* A great little sento I happened upon just across the street from JR Uji station. I was on a day tip with Yuko who kindly let me take a quick bath as she had a dessert at the cafe next door. The cafe next door looked really good too, but since this is an onsen blog I won't dwell on that. The sento was basic, small, and wonderful. Mid-afternoon is always my favorite time to take a bath. Arima-Yu is a very well kept and at least 70 years old. The baths were hot and the water was crystal clear. The electric bath was just the right strength and the jets were strong. The small single bench sauna lacked a TV but the piped in music was just as good, plus from the sauna there's a window into the changing room which was a first for me (since then I’ve found other places with this). The waterfall bath also was a lovely surprise. From the outside the entrance is quite old, you can tell where the original entryway gives way to the remodeled portion. Each sex has it's own door leading out to the street with a arrowhead shaped row of shoe lockers which divides the entryway on the inside. An unusual design. Despite its simplicity I deferentially recommend this sento for its access, baths and atmosphere.
