Yasaka-yu

Yasaka-yu

Yasaka-yu is a bit small, but it has all the things you need. The entrance and shoe locker makes a curve towards the bandai. Fairly big changing room with a smaller than average bath area. Some quirky stuff in the baths too. First, faded-orange plastic containers with rocks in them that are supposedly from the radioactive Enakyo Onsen (岐阜恵那峡温泉). Second, there's a jet bath that has a pillar right in front of it, making it impossible to sit with your legs out. You have to pull your knees up to your chest to enjoy it. I thought that was a fun and good use of space and enjoyed sitting in the little alcove. Not worth going far out of your way, but this is a nice bath with a kind-looking owner. There is a lot of construction and gentrifying nearby, so I hope the bath can survive and the new neighbors take advantage of having a good, local sento.
