ReviewPerfect little sento nearish to Nanba making it a good place to know. Also it's open all day from 6am! The great radon bath and a very hot deep normal water bath make this one worth trying out. Lots of TVs to watch in the bathing areas. Check out their sister sento Tabeta which is the review just below this one.
Update April 2020: This sento has been remodeled since this review was written.

ReviewLarge sento that actually refers to itself as a “supersento” on their own webpage. This is one of the sento that were at the forefront of the transition to the current sento - supersento landscape we have now. This is also an open all night place so if you need someplace to chill (or boil) till 5am there you go. Baths are different on both sides but include a large outdoor area and monkey bars in one of the baths for stretching. Tabeta is a fun place and worth checking out the same with Healthy Onsen Sakuragawa their smaller sister establishment down the road (and the review just above this one).

ReviewOne of the first sento I went to in Japan. This is a classic Osaka style sento with a radon bath and steam sauna. Great location close to all the big spots in the Namba area.

ReviewLocated right in front of Tsutenkaku, the Osaka tower, in the middle of Osaka's old downtown. Radium Onsen is one of the best maintained Showa-era sentos, but there's more. The men’s outdoor bath has a great big Japanese garden and perfect view of Tsutenkaku. Not sure how good the women’s side is. Great location and a great classic Osaka sento feel.

ReviewThis is a capsule hotel overnight sauna style place close to Namba. Good for a quick bath too. There is a open air bath that looks over the Osaka Loop highway. The hot spring is decent. A coupon for ¥500 off the free time price is available on their website.

ReviewAmazingly huge. Called the world's biggest hot spring resort. This is like a waterpark that is open all year round. Spend hours in the bathing suit required mixed bathing pools and enjoy all the slides (rides sold at a separate cost). There are play areas for children and, in the summer, a roof top outdoor pool. After all the fun there are two different themed bathing areas. One is Asian the other European. The water is from a hot spring source but I didn't really feel it. You go here for the slides and pools. Super fun and a must try for everyone.

ReviewPart of the renovation of this historically tough neighborhood in Osaka, this supersento is on the second floor of a supermarket and marketplace building. I wasn't sure what to expect when walking along the Nankai tracks through warehouses and old row houses. What I found was a newly remodeled commercial food market with this sento build on top.The stairs, the signs outside, and design of the building was all very well done. Inside I was also pleasantly surprised. Lots of open floor space in the lobby. There's a big restaurant, a ganbanyoku (Korean-style heated stone resting area), and, of course a bathing area with a wide rotenburo.The inside baths are well built with good basic yet clean feeling tile work. The jet bath maze was one of the largest I've seen. Outside the rotenburo is more like a covered gazebo. This is most likely due to it's closeness to residential towers and the an elevated freeway. So there's no great view of the outside or sky, but the plants make up for it and provide a great atmosphere. This is also a great place for people who like their baths bubbling. They have a large carbonated bath outside and a microbubble bath inside.No natural hot spring, but the location, cleanness, selection of baths, and atmosphere all make up for it.
