Established in 1945, the multi-storey Mikoku-yu underwent a transformation in 2015. The soft smell of timber welcomes visitors as they pass the entrance to put their shoes in the wooden cubbies. Unlike traditional sento, Mikoku-yu features a number of different baths, with each set at different temperatures ranging from 25 to 46 degrees Celsius. There are medicinal baths that change on a daily basis, with some days featuring fresh herbs and others featuring rice bran and milk. Go to the fifth floor and you'll find a semi-open air bath where you can get a glimpse of the Tokyo Skytree.
