Overview

Immerse yourself in the authentic Japanese sento experience at a retro bathhouse in Shinjuku, Tokyo, built in 1954.

A bilingual guide will introduce you to the essentials of sento etiquette, including how to navigate shoe lockers and washing areas. Discover the fascinating history behind the iconic Mount Fuji murals, the role of sento in postwar communities, and the tradition of enjoying bottled milk after a soak. Whether you choose to bathe or relax with a drink, this hour-long experience is perfect for beginners wanting to connect with local customs.
