Tsurumi Ryokuchi yumoto Suishun

A solid super sento for 1100 yen in Osaka. Towel set rental: 330 yen. Located right by a metro station and across from the large Tsurumi-Ryokuchi park, so it's great to stop in and soak in the evening after a walk in the park. There's also a big parking lot: 4 hours free for onsen visitors. The onsen setup is pretty standard for a super sento: a couple of different indoor baths, one "milky" and another where they change the water type every few days (this time it was a Chinese medicinal herb infusion: 漢方薬湯, I kept tripping over bags of herbs on the bottom), jet massage baths (powerful ones — I was worried I'd get bruises), sauna and mizuburo, two outdoor baths (one with a TV), three "barrel" baths, several onsen loungers, and a salt sauna. Temperature everywhere isn't too hot: 39-41°. This place has a whole 4 electric baths: two in the "milky" bath (one for lower back, one for chest) and two in the jet baths, full body (one is labeled "weak" and the other "strong," but the "weak" denki-buro bent me into an arc and I didn't dare try the "strong" one). For an extra fee there are massages, stone saunas, a restaurant, and all the other super sento stuff. Something interesting: the complex has a fitness club (gym, group classes, pool), but you can only go with a membership. Fitness members get free onsen access, but onsen visitors aren't allowed into the fitness area. If you're going to Tsurumi Park, definitely stop by. And if you live nearby or along this metro line, I'd even get the fitness membership.
