Review: Just an outstanding sento. The hot baths are extra hot, the cold baths are extra cold, and there's a 38°C bath for something in-between. Soft water & bath temperatures leave your skin feeling super clean and revitalized. Great rough granite stone tiles along the back wall and the cold-water bath. Also, there is a no-splashing-off sign here, so use the kakari basin if you want to pour cold water over your head. While some of the tiles showed a lot of wear, everything was immaculately cleaned. Really small but highly recommended! Plus, it's the only sento in the area.Simple bathing area with the baths along the dividing wall. The dry sauna in the back is an additional ¥50 and looks good. The cold-water bath is outstanding and energetic. It is a bit overly chlorinated, but that was a good thing.

ReviewSmall friendly sento very close to Tsuruhashi Station. Interesting bubble Jacuzzi style bath in the middle. Good option if Hakutsuru Onsen is closed on the other side of the tracks.
Update Spring 2019: Still a good option in the area. Had a nice chat with the owner who was surprised that I spoke Japanese.
