Tsukishima Onsen

Feeling the need to freshen up in Tsukishima? Take the narrow passage from ‘Monja Street’, head past the small indoor temple and up the stairs to this unpretentious but clean and welcoming bathhouse featuring saunas and a ‘healing’ open-air bath. Rental towels are available, as are old-fashioned bottles of flavoured milk, and the place stays open until midnight every single day. As some of the older apartments and houses in the area have no or very limited bath and shower rooms, many area residents come to the sento every day.
