Higashiyodogawa Indoor Swimming Pool

Osaka Municipal Higashi-Yodogawa Indoor Pool, Osaka A municipal pool for ¥1,000 with a sento area by the changing rooms: showers, no soap or shampoo, so you need to bring your own, an indoor bath with hydro-massage (about 40-41°, tap water), and a dry sauna with a mizuburo for a couple of people next to it. In the pool area itself, there is a 25-meter pool with 8 lanes, two of which are permanently covered with a platform for children, a couple of kiddie pools, two utaseyu streams, one slide, a barely warm sauna, and a warm jacuzzi (when we were there, the staff measured 36°). You must have a swim cap. They do not sell separate tickets for the sento bath, you buy pool admission only, so without a swim cap you will not be let in, and you will have to buy one on the spot. If you live nearby, this is a great place to drop in for a couple of hours, splash around with the kids in the pools, ride the slide, warm up in the bath at the end, and head off again. There is moderately expensive parking in the basement, and if you visit the pool they give you a 50% discount. It is all a bit worn and shabby, but clean and working.
