Review: A decent walk from Shimonoseki station is this institutional-feeling sento with some enjoyable signage. The locals seem to just park on the street out front, but there also is a parking lot.
Supposedly this is a well water bath, but the water quality was not really noticeable. Overall, just a basic, small sento place with somewhat weak a steam bath. However, the well temperature cool bath was enjoyable.

Review: Small, amazing back alley sento. Just getting to the front door is an adventure. This is a small bath, but it felt great. Maybe not the best option for the weak of heart, but I loved it. Amazing place.
