Atamiyu

A long-standing shrine-style (miya-zukuri) sento in a back alley of Kagurazaka in Shinjuku Ward, familiar as a filming location and full of Showa-era atmosphere. Its hot bath, heated with firewood, is a point of pride, and there is a painted mural and bincho-charcoal water. The bath welcomes sento runners and can hold luggage temporarily. It is about a 3-minute walk from Iidabashi Station on the Chuo Line.
