About

Poteyu is the public bathhouse (sento, 銭湯) attached to Umekoji Potel Kyoto, a hotel in the Umekoji Park area. The compact bath hall has an indoor tub, a small open-air bath, a sauna, and a cold bath. The walls are painted with a fictional Kyoto cityscape by sento muralist Morio Nakajima (中島盛夫). Hotel guests and walk-ins share the same space; it runs as a proper licensed public bath open to anyone.

A trendy, youthful but small sento in Kyoto (the photo doesn't show the sauna, cold plunge pool, and a small outdoor bath). Located on hotel grounds, but day-use bathing is available. Costs 800 yen, and honestly you'd be better off going to a regular old-school one for 490 yen.
