【Koganeyu in Kinshicho】Not just a bathhouse to 'refresh,' but a downtown healing experience.

"I can't believe a place like this exists in the heart of the city." That's the feeling I had when I first visited Koganeyu, a bathhouse located in Kinshicho. Its exterior exudes a retro Showa-era vibe, but step inside, and you'll find a modern space that feels almost like an art gallery. This unique bathhouse overturns traditional expectations, blending the warmth of the past with contemporary sensibilities in perfect harmony. 🛁 All the water here is soft water, gentle on the skin and enveloping you like a warm embrace. From medicinal baths and carbonated springs to a deep cold plunge pool, Koganeyu offers a variety of options. There are three types of saunas, differing for men and women, and even the music playing in the bath area is thoughtfully curated to relax your mind. 🌿 After your bath, unwind at the attached craft beer bar. Koganeyu is more than just a bathhouse. At the small bar tucked behind the reception, you can savor a chilled IPA that refreshes your body after a warm soak. 🍺 🛌 It's also a bathhouse where you can stay overnight. The second floor houses "Koganeyu Inn," making it an ideal spot for travelers to drop by on a whim and stay the night. Starting your day with a morning bath at 6 AM is highly recommended. 📍Koganeyu 4-14-6 Taihei, Sumida-ku, Tokyo (6-minute walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit) 🕐 Open from 6:00 AM to 12:30 AM (hours vary on Saturdays) 🎫 Admission starts at ¥520, with sauna options available. 🔖 "Healing doesn't have to be far away." Koganeyu is a place that reminds you of this. When you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this bathhouse will quietly welcome you.
