Kotobuki-yu

A sento in Horikiri, Katsushika ward, with strong ultrasonic jet baths to ease a day's fatigue and stiff shoulders. Good-quality well water is heated by a wood-fired boiler, and a daily-changing medicinal bath is on offer. There is a large tatami room for lying down to rest after bathing, a painted wall mural (penki-e), and a front-desk-style attendant's box. About 10 minutes on foot from Horikiri-Shobuen Station on the Keisei Line.
