Review: Maizuru has two sento remaining and both are, very understandably, registered tangible cultural properties. Hinode is not as stunning as Waka no Yu, but it was also a pleasure to visit and explore. Good vibes here through and through. This place is small, but it matches the small neighborhood it is found in which was amazing just to walk around in. Only a single tub in the center that has shallow and deep sections which could barely fit four people. No showers here. Funny how muscle memory makes me reach for the shower when washing myself off. Hahaha! This is a sit on the tile kind of place. It also felt odd to be under a pink celling rather than the typical blue for sento of this age. The bath is so simple, but you come here for the vibes. When I came in the owner was playing classical music on an old stereo and the soft volume or just feeling of the old room, but it sounded so sweet. Highly recommended. No restroom here, at least I didn't see one. Visit Date: August 2021

Review: Living history that you can use just as it was when it was built. Waka no Yu is a registered tangible cultural property because when it was built in 1901 this was a rare European, mostly Greek, style building. Inside you can see how some of the remodeling has occurred as the window in the bath is now half concealed by the building. Interesting photos and history pasted on the walls make bathing here like visiting a museum. Make sure to read the lovely statement about leaving your worries and problems behind in the water posted on the door to the baths. Speaking of the water, it is brought up from a local well and just lovely. Baths are a shallow and deep with a single jet. Both could fit about two people each. My favorite find was the hand painted Shell Oil 貝印! advertisement on the mirror in the changing room. Cool t-shirts, towels, and postcards for sale. Highly recommended. Visit Date: August 2021
