Kyoto sento Heian-yu. They try their best to preserve the original character :) the jet bath all around is called a unique "hurricane bath", and there is one bath with a bucket of some special natural stones that are supposed to enrich the water 👀 There are beautiful pictures on the walls and a dog made from tile mosaics. There is a sauna and cold water. Shampoo/soap need to be bought.

About
Heian-yu is a Kyoto sento with a nice hot sauna, located in a building with a modern design that doesn’t look like a sento. It is always fun to bathe here as there are six types of baths including an aroma bath that changes every day, a frigid cold-water bath of natural water from underground, and a super-hot sauna (over 100 degrees Celsius) where you can watch TV. There are old-timey soft drinks in bottles, and nearby are tourist attractions and tasty, affordable restaurants. This is a suitable sento for public bathing beginners. Follow us on Twitter! We look forward to seeing you. *There is also a tornado esthetic bath, a health-promoting foot-massage bath, an ultrasonic bath with bubble jets, a standing shower booth.
