About
A 50-year-old Japanese-style bathhouse in Japantown, built around a sento-inspired ritual. Seated-shower wash, 104°F hot bath, 55°F cold plunge, cedar-lined dry sauna at 140°F, then a 120°F herbal steam room. Bathing is gender-segregated most of the week, with co-ed swimsuit days.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
- Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
