ReviewVery interesting sento with all metal tubs and a fish tank separating the female and male sides. Very unique and very enjoyable. Worth it. Located half way between Hankyu and JR Itami stations.

Review: Thoroughly remodeled sento but you can still see some of the original, and unique, tile in places. Great main bath with various depths and levels. The cold-water bath near the entrance fits one but is a perfect temperature. Next to it is and amazing full body shower rainfall shower head flowing from above also with cold water. Just outstanding. There is a dry sauna for an extra fee. The steam sauna was small but good enough. Lastly there is an outdoor bath that I was surprised to find to be a cold pool filled by a tall rocky waterfall. It also has a very lovely tile mosaic of a lady bathing naked in a river (at least on the men's side!). Nice. I should have gone here earlier. Perfect sento and highly recommended.
