Satsukiyu

Satsukiyu is one of three small communal bathhouses in the town of Arifuku Onsen, a single square bath room with nothing more than a hairdryer, shampoo and body soap at the sink. It runs on real onsen water, and more than one visitor says it leaves the skin smooth. There's an attendant at a front desk rather than self-service, and the whole place keeps the unhurried, old-fashioned feel of a neighborhood bathhouse in a quiet onsen town.
