Hinata no Yu

310. Hinata no Yu, Osaka ★ An onsen in an office building, 22 minutes from Osaka Station, for 880-1000. The layout also gives the feeling that a small office was turned into an onsen with baths on the balcony, but that is more of a feature than a drawback. The hours are listed as 06:00 to 01:00. They stamp the Kansai 41 Super Sento 24/25 stamp rally. There is a diner, massage, a foot bath, and massage chairs. The bath photos are from the internet, and the match is only approximate. Judging by the orientation of the objects, the photos seem to be from the women’s area, but it looks very similar to what it was like in the men’s area. 1. Outdoor area. Built on a large balcony of the office building, the city view is fairly limited, so it is definitely not the strong point, even though the official site mentions it. 1.1. Main bath with clear water, temperature 41-42. 1.2. Polygonal bubble bath, clear water, temperature 40-41. 1.3. Herbal bath (apparently an event bath). It had slightly greenish water with a smell, temperature 39-40. 1.4. Two barrels, clear water. 2. Indoor area. Easy to breathe, no chlorine smell. 2.1. Bath with clear water, temperature 42-43. 2.2. Sauna. 2.3. Cold bath. As for the bath quality and the onsen part, it is not a super interesting place, but the subtle atmosphere that the whole onsen was made inside an office building felt unusual and really caught my attention. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the woman at reception was worried that I would not have two 100 yen coins, one for the shoe locker and one for the locker in the changing room. 01.01.2025
