A sodium chloride strong-salt spring drawn in the Koyama district of Shinagawa. It is hypertonic, carrying 18.6 g/kg of dissolved solids, and the certificate describes the water at the wellhead as faintly yellow and clear, briny on the tongue, with a trace of mineral-oil odor and gas bubbling up alongside the flow. Weakly alkaline, it also holds 105.7 mg/kg of metasilicic acid and an unusually high 24.3 mg/kg of iodide, so a soak leaves both the thick mineral coating prized in strong-salt water and the smoothing touch of Japan's beauty-water family.

About

Two separate natural hot-spring sources feed this neighborhood sento in Musashi-Koyama, rather than the usual one (or none at all). The indoor bath and its adjoining cold bath both run on kuro-yu (黒湯), a dark, almost coffee-colored spring known locally for how smooth it leaves the skin. A two-tier open-air bath adds kogane-no-yu (黄金の湯), a golden, strongly salty spring set in a tub of Izu stone that leaves you warmed through rather than merely relaxed. Round it out with a hot dry sauna, jet and electric baths, and a women-only ganbanyoku (岩盤浴) rock-bed sauna. Wash stations don't stock shampoo or soap, so bring your own or buy a small set at the front desk. It's small and gets genuinely crowded, especially on weekends, the kind of local bathhouse regulars swear by rather than a polished super-sento.

880. Musashi Koyama Onsen Shimizu Yu, Shinagawa City, Tokyo ★★★ A sento with onsen water from two sources. The price is 600 (without sauna) and 1100 (for the bath and sauna). You need to bring your own shampoo and liquid soap, or buy them there. The opening hours are listed as 12:00 to 00:00 (Tuesday to Saturday) and 08:00 to 00:00 (Sunday), Monday is closed. Cards are issued for this sento. The bath photos are from the internet, they are roughly accurate, I was there in the evening. 1. Indoor area. It is tolerable to breathe inside. 1.1. Main bath. There is an area with bubbles and jets. The water is black and cloudy, there is a smell and a soapy feel. Temperature 41.5. 1.2. Sauna. 1.3. Cold bath with black water. 2. Outdoor enclosed area. 2.1. Lower small bath with bubbles. The water is black and cloudy, there is a smell and a soapy feel. Temperature 41.5. 2.2. Upper small bath. The water is cloudy pale brown, there is a soapy feel. Temperature 41. A top-notch special sento with great water of two kinds and different baths. For Tokyo, it's priceless. 14.03.2026
