Amazing little sento with a lot of unique features. There are two doors to enter from the changing room to the bath. Every bath cold water spout, but you had to hold it down so I do not know how effective it was. There is a sign above every washing station that said you can drink all the water in this sento. This is rare. Typically the shower water is no good to drink. A sign in the changing room saying that the well water from 50 meters below ground and that it was tested as being good to drink. The test was also recently performed. When I first got in the baths here I thought something was different. After a few years of doing this, you can tell a quality well when you get in.
Other quirky stuff. The shoe boxes are actually actually after you step up into the front area. As I did not see that, I just left my shoes in the entryway a like the other guests. There was a lot different tiles and different shapes I had not seen before. The wall between the men's and women's bath had brick like tile in a color I've not seen before.
If only this sento had a cold water bath I would have put it in my top 10. Instead, I had to do the fill up a bucket with cold water from the from the faucet and dump over my head a few times to cool down. Still this is an amazing sento in an amazing city. Worth a visit for anyone who likes quality well water.
