I have seen this supersento from the JR train to Kyoto more than a few times and had always written it off as another of the middling Gokuraku chain of supersento. Finally I found the time to head to Ibaraki to visit this sento and was more than pleasantly surprised. This is one of those sento that let you pay a cheaper fee for the normal baths only however I think it is worth paying the full price for this supersento. While they say this is a natural spring and more than just a simple spring, that said it was completely not apparent on the skin or by smell. There was a bit of a salty taste however in the air around the baths. The bathing area is small, but has the full complement of baths. The steam sauna and sleeping bath were particularly nice. As the baths are on the second floor and due to the shape of the roof it makes the sky seem closer than usual--a lovely experience. Indoors the jet baths and electric bath are strong and easy to find a way to enjoy. The cold water bath was also easy to access and not too cold. I had an aversion to the gokurakuyu baths because of the unremarkable experences at the Amagasaki and Suita outlets. This one, however, made a great impression and would definitely consider returning to despite the lackluster natural spring.
