The men's bath had around 7 people at all times, and the steam sauna room always had about 1 person, but it wasn't crowded.
【Amenities】
I couldn't find any shampoo or body soap.
【Impressions】
I've visited this public bath a few times since moving near Kagurazaka.
It's located between Kagurazaka Station and Edogawabashi Station, and it's a bit of a walk from the stations.
You pay the bathing fee at the reception and enter the men's bath.
I didn't use it this time, but there's an additional fee (500 yen?) for the dry sauna.
After changing, I went into the bathing area and washed my body with a shower.
There were plenty of showers, so it should be fine even when crowded.
First, I relaxed in the jet bath.
It seems that bath salts were added to the bath.
After warming up, I went to the steam sauna.
The room isn't too hot, but the temperature rises as steam is periodically released.
Regulars manually released steam by pouring water on the room's sensor.
Repeating this process makes the room quite warm.
After about 10 minutes, I went out, took a shower, and entered the cold bath.
The cold bath is deep, the temperature is lukewarm, and it can comfortably fit 3 people.
There's no outdoor area for cooling down, so I rested in a seating area next to the cold bath.
After enjoying 3 sets of sauna sessions, I finished up.
It's rare to find a public bath in Tokyo where you can use a steam sauna without an additional fee.
It was a cost-effective and pleasant public bath.
