Sumiyoshi Onsen

Sumiyoshi Onsen

I chose the wrong day to go to this sento for the first time. It was the hottest day of the year. 38 degrees in Osaka is sweltering and my shirt was soaked with sweat. Sadly, I did not bring a spare. It would not matter much if I did. Anything I wore after getting out of the bath would be instantly drenched anyhow.
This was also one of the few sento that does not have a cold water bath. I did not know that before coming so I had to make the most of it. This is a small sento but it is well laid out. Shallow, deep, bubble and electric baths plus a steam sauna. Thankfully, on this hot day especially, there is a cool shower. I think I spent most of my time under that shower on my visit. Any other day this would be a perfect little neighborhood sento. It is right on a perfect little neighborhood park. I could imagine taking my daughter to the park there then going the sento before going home if I lived in this neighborhood.
Tiles are normal and uninspired but the place itself is very friendly and has a relaxing atmosphere. Recommended if you are in the area and it is not the hottest day of the year.
