Tenzan no Yu

48. Tenzan no Yu, Kyoto A small super sento. The water is said to be onsen water. There is massage, massage chairs, an arcade area, a restaurant, gachi, a snack shop, chill zones, and a solarium box. Admission is ¥1080. I went on Monday during sakura season from 19:00 to 22:00. There were quite a lot of people, but it was comfortable. The first available massage slot was 45 minutes after I arrived, and the restaurant was fairly empty. There were few older men, and quite a few foreigners. About the baths: 1. Indoor section. 1.1. Jet bath, 39.5 degrees: - 4 sections with light jet and different headrests; - 2 sections with strong jet. 1.2. Main bath, 42 degrees. Inside it there is a small bubble area. 1.3. Small cold bath, 16.7. 1.4. One barrel bath and one solo bath, 37 degrees. All the water in the section is clear and smells noticeably of chlorine. The air in the section is very good. There is also a sauna that looks quite decent, with a TV. 2. Outdoor section: 2.1. Bath, 38.5, with clear water. 2.2. Stone bath, 42, with cloudy brown water. 2.3. Two barrel baths with cloudy brown water (felt like around 40). 2.4. A shallow area for lying down with hot clear water. Breathing outside is excellent, the roof covers the baths, but not the path between them, so it is especially nice to move around in the rain. There is a chlorine smell, but it is not as strong as in the indoor section. This area also has a set of loungers. 08.04.2024
