About
Hinomoto-yu is a small, old-school sento tucked into a residential corner of Moriguchi, just outside Osaka. The bathwater is softened rather than a hot spring, and regulars say it leaves the skin smooth. Alongside indoor tubs with a jet bath, an electric bath, and a medicated bath, there's an outdoor area with a plain hot bath and a salt bath, plus both a dry sauna and a steam sauna. One of the tubs changes daily, and after soaking you can sit in the shared lobby with a craft beer or a local cider, a nice small touch for what is otherwise a classic town bathhouse.
