While some information was heard that cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Tokyo, cotton went to Onsen tour instead of cherry-blossom viewing.
Today, I would like to introduce Minatoyu, located just a 7-minute walk from Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro, near Teppozu Inari Shrine.
Minato Yu, which was renewed in 2010, is located on the first floor of a 7-story white building. The black wall at the entrance, combined with the white of the building, has a stylish appearance.
When you enter the entrance, there is a bright counter-type reception on the left. On the right, there is a monthly locker for regular customers. If you use it here, you can come empty-handed. I love it.
At the end of the reception, there is a space where you can relax after a bath, and there are chairs, TVs, and massage chairs (charged).
As you pass through the noren, a corridor that passes through the water drops of the bath appears.
The end of the corridor is the dressing room. This is also clean, and the wood grain locker (¥ 100 return type) is fashionable. The washbasin is equipped with two dryers worth 20/5 minutes. Women don't have this, don't they?
Finally to the bathroom
Minatoyu has two bathrooms, a modern Japanese Kuroishi type bathroom and a warm wood grain type, so you can enjoy it every week.
This time, I entered a wood-grained bathroom. The walls are wood grain, but the ceiling height and the black ceiling steam creates a fantastic atmosphere.
In addition, you can enjoy a variety of baths such as boiling water (46 ° C), jacuzzi (43 ° C), ultrasonic bath (44 ° C), and sauna.
The hot water uses soft water that has been removed from minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) and is gentle on the skin and has excellent heat retention and moisturizing effects. It's true that the skin is smooth.
Hot water Comfort sauna
There are two types of sauna, "comfort sauna" using infrared rays (somewhat high temperature and low humidity) and "locky sauna" (somewhat low temperature and high humidity) that drops water drops on heated stones. What's nice is that there is a TV in the sauna. You can warm your body slowly while watching TV.
Next time, I would like to enter the "silk bath" and "locky sauna" in another bathroom.
Please drop in on the way back to the cherry blossom viewing.
