  • How much does it cost to bathe?

    Adults: 550 yen, teenagers (ages 6 to 12, elementary school students): 200 yen, children (ages under 6, preschoolers): 100 yen. If you use the sauna, an additional fee will be charged. Please check the information for the bathhouse you are using for details.

  • What should I do with my valuables?

    Please use the lockers in the changing room (coin lockers, returnable lockers, etc. vary depending on the bathhouse). Large luggage may not be stored at the front desk. Please note that you are responsible for any theft or loss of valuables, so please bring the bare minimum with you.

  • Is there a hair dryer?

    Yes. The method and fees vary depending on the bathhouse, such as coin-operated or managed by the front desk.

  • What should I bring?

    Towels (small and large), body soap and shampoo (provided), face wash, hair ties (for long hair), makeup remover and lotion if necessary. Some bathhouses sell or rent these items.

  • How long do most people stay?

    The standard is 30 to 60 minutes. Sauna users tend to spend an additional 20 to 40 minutes in the bath.

  • Isn’t it difficult to learn the proper etiquette even for a first-timer?

    As long as you follow the rules of “rinsing your body with water before entering the bath,” “not putting your hair or towels in the bath,” and “tying up long hair,” you’ll be fine.

    Interview with Yanagiyu (Tateda)
    What part of your baths or facilities are you most proud of?
    Enjoy the combination of hot, refreshing high-power jets and an electric bath, alternating with a cold well water bath.
    What do you especially want first-time visitors to enjoy here?
    Enjoy a relaxing bath with the majestic waterfalls of Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park, a World Heritage Site, as your backdrop. A convenient, once-a-week public bath experience!
    Any history or unique commitment about this bathhouse we should know?
    This is our third bath since moving from downtown Asakusa to Ushigome. We provide good quality hot water so that everyone in the area can enjoy it. The water is very hot when we open, but gradually becomes a little hotter. Everyone, men and women of all ages, can use it.
    Are there seasonal or time-of-day ways to enjoy this place?
    In particular, the men's bath is bathed in sunlight that shines through the windows during opening hours depending on the season, making the water sparkle.
    Why do regulars keep coming back, in your opinion?
    For our regular customers, Yanagiyu, with its large bathtubs, is like a second home bath and a daily treat. Since we were closed for a year, we have seen many new customers, and we hope that they will all become regulars.
