Uses natural hot spring water
304. Uji Natural Hot Spring Genji-no-Yu Super sento with onsen water, 800-1100 yen. Listed hours are 10:00 to 24:00 (Mon-Fri) and 06:00 to 24:00 (Sat-Sun). They give a stamp for the 41 Super Sento of Kansai 24/25. Has a restaurant, massage, chill-out zone, and massage chairs. Photo of the outdoor zone from the internet — matches roughly; based on the orientation it seems to be the women's side, and the water color was more of a rusty shade (closer to the overexposed photo with water). 1. Outdoor zone, no view. 1.1. Main outdoor bath, rich rusty-colored water with a smell, temperature 41. TV mounted. 1.2. Two barrels with water the same color as the main bath. 1.3. Sauna. 1.4. Cold bath. 2. Indoor zone. 2.1. Event bath with a bag of herbs, water temperature 41. 2.2. Bath with bubbles, clear water, temperature 40. 2.3. Carbonated bath with clear water, temperature 38. 2.4. Sauna. 2.5. Cold bath. Interesting water in Uji, Kyoto. The outdoor bath is good — even though there's a TV, with the crowd at the time of my visit it somehow added to the atmosphere and felt pleasant; I didn't want to leave. A good place, recommended for a visit.
