Atarashi-yu

"This is a typical Japanese bath house. It's nothing fancy, nothing like those videos where you have a hot bath all for yourself in an outdoor location, this is a real Japanese experience. It is a shared space, you need to be fully naked and ready to just be yourself while relaxing. The price is so low that is crazy and there is no limit on how long you can stay there. You will find a sauna and three types of bath: cold plunge, medicine bath, and electric shock bath. (I didn't try this one as I was scared, but my partner did and enjoyed it quite a lot.) They are tattoo-friendly (my partner is covered from head to toe) and foreign-friendly. Our Airbnb host provided us with soap and towels, but you can rent/purchase them there as well. He also explained to us how everything would work and what to expect and recommend we purchase a bottle of milk there after we finish as this is what they do. He literally said "Fresh milk from a glass bottle after the bath is the best feeling ever", so I did and it was true, so refreshing and just felt good. Bring cash as they don't accept card payments. They don't really speak English but will try to understand. Also, some old lady helped me understand how everything worked as she saw I felt a bit uncomfortable on my first time. I definitely recommend experiencing something like this and seeing this part of their culture. "
