Hakutsuru Onsen

Hakutsuru Onsen

A lovely neighborhood sento with a strong local and family feel. When I walked into the changing room I saw a group of 5 boys playing a Pokémon trading card game on the couch and I knew this was a wonderful place. They went in to the baths when I did and I enjoyed hearing them laugh and play as I took my bath. The design is quite typical of many Osaka sento with the baths in the center places to wash along the sides, and the sauna and jet baths along the back wall. There was also a lovely mosaic on the back wall. The sento prides itself on its "herb mist sauna" which is like a normal mist sauna but they add fragrance to the water. The fragrance changes, but I am not sure on what schedule. Their homepage seems to have a lot Osaka city and Onsen related information, including some fun stories from the onsen. One story tells of a Chinese-American high school student who begged to wear her bathing suit in the onsen and the staff trying to explain to her that she couldn’t.
