A regular sento for 490 yen (without shampoo included), but it does have a natural outdoor hot spring. Surprisingly, the building itself is quite new, unlike typical sento in Kyoto.

About
Tenshono-yu Daimon is a neighborhood sento in Ukyo Ward with real hot-spring water, drawn from about 1,000 meters underground and kept flowing fresh (kakenagashi) into both an indoor bath and a small outdoor one set apart at the back of the building, an uncommon setup for a Kyoto sento. The water comes out faintly cloudy and brownish with a light saltiness, and reviewers describe staying warm well after getting out. Beyond the source baths there's a full sento lineup: standing and sitting jet baths, an electric bath, a bubble bath, a sauna and a cold plunge, with a small lounge and TV to relax in afterward. The building started out as an ordinary sento called Daimon-yu (大門湯) and was renamed and reopened as a hot-spring bath in December 2006. It still runs at sento prices, draws a loyal local crowd, and gets busy on weekends; the small on-site parking lot fills fast, so many visitors plan on nearby coin parking as backup.
