Review:Went to this sento after a very difficult hike in the summer. Was able to get in before the sun went down and I really enjoyed the small outdoor bath. The cold water bath was also outstanding! One of the few sentos that I have been to recently that was somewhat surprised to see a non-Japanese customer. No problems however.Visit Date: July 2017

Review:The first outlet of an Aichi based supersento chain opened recently as of 2020. The baths are well built using good materials. No natural hot spring, but some of the baths are treated. Cold water bath has bubbles, which is rare. They have a warm “children’s bath” that also has a strong jet blowing up from the middle of the bottom of the tub making the water move around in a fun manner. Outdoors the warm carbonated bath is very popular and there is also a bath with hydrogen gas added to it for supposed health benefits. I cannot say that there were any benefits, but it was noticeable. Besides the typical restaurant and relaxation rooms there also is a gym here. The gym could be a big draw for most people, but I found the baths to be pretty basic. I did not find a reason for a person like me to head back, however it is fairly close to the station in a place with not too many other options making it good to remember.Visit Date: October 2020

Review: Surprisingly small sento has all that you want. I found the electric bath especially nice as I came here on the way home from a hike. Local guys really love the sauna and the lady working the front was friendly. Interesting entryway where you can come in from the main street or the smaller alleyway behind it, however it is signed… do not cut through the sento entrance as a shortcut please.

ReviewBasic chain supersento, somewhat close to the station. Nice large shallow second floor bath on the roof that has a good view of the mountains and the planes landing at Itami Airport. The water is better than I remember it the first time I went. Nice and firm on the skin. It is a very strong well. You can see how this supersento has downsized what was once a second bath and a sleeping bath has now become a wooden sleeping/sitting area. Still with the great large rotenburo those two extra baths will not be missed.

Review: A bit boring looking out front, but what a unique space on the inside. First and foremost are the live plants in the bathing area. Real live plants are something you'll rarely see inside a sento, and they do give the place a real fresh feeling. The cold-water bath here was crisp and clean, with a cold shower nearby was equally refreshing. The hot baths are all somewhat connected but at exciting angles making this a fun place to explore. Not much for jets here, really, but the bubble was good. Outside is a treated bath and a good sitting area.
You have to turn in your shoe locker key on the men's side to get a clothes locker key. Somewhat rare for a sento.
