A sento in Shibuya where a wide variety of people and cultures come together.

Last update :
Supervised by :  改良湯

A sento in the heart of the city, located between Shibuya Station and Ebisu Station, where you can enjoy the original appeal of public bath culture, including beauty, health, and human connection.

The baths use soft water with an ion balance close to that of a sodium hot spring, making it gentle on the skin so even people with atopic, sensitive, or dry skin can bathe with peace of mind. Soap and shampoo lather well, leaving hair and skin feeling moisturized, and another feature is that your skin does not feel tight after bathing. It also helps activate the skin’s natural renewal process, warming the body from the core and making it less likely for you to feel chilled afterward.

Saunas are available for both men and women for an additional fee. The men’s side has a convection sauna, while the women’s side features a kelo sauna. A kelo sauna uses rare Finnish kelo wood and is said to offer various benefits such as recovery from fatigue, beauty benefits, better sleep, and anti-aging effects. There is also a cold bath and a carbonated bath, which may provide additional beauty and fatigue-recovery benefits.
