Jushiyu, and Tokyo sento pilgrimage

[Ryokichi] August 15, 2014 09:00

This time, I went to Jushiyu in Jushi Square (annex).

There was an article introducing a newly built public bath, but I would like to write about the visit to Jushiyu from a slightly different perspective.

A public bath that can be refreshed on a sultry summer evening is the best. It is said that there were more than 2,000 public baths in Tokyo, but I heard that it has now been less than 800. I hear the story of closing the store almost every month. It may not be stopped in the course of the times, but as a public bath lover, I felt sad. Meanwhile, it is very nice news that a new public bath has opened in Chuo-ku.

 

In fact, I am also a public bath enthusiast who is steadily promoting the pilgrimage to the Tokyo public bath pilgrimage, which is the stamp rally of a public bath belonging to the public bath association in Tokyo (Tokyo public bath business hygiene association).

This stamp rally mount comes with you when you buy the "Tokyo Sento Burari Onsen tour Map", which is sold at a public bath for 300 yen. The Onsen tour Map has plenty of maps and information on public baths in Tokyo, which is very convenient for visiting.

 

The Onsen tour map shows that there are 10 public baths in Chuo-ku so far. In addition, each public bath has a pilgrimage number. Kinharuyu is Chuo-ku No. 1 and Kachidoki Yu is Chuo-ku No. 11. No. 6 responded to Kimura Yu, which has gone out of business.

And this time, Jushiyu was 12th in Chuo-ku. I got the stamp firmly as shown in the picture. This is the whole public bath in Chuo-ku. Take a bath with a sense of satisfaction.

 

The public bath may be new, and it looks like a large bath like a hotel. I feel calm. Jisshi Park is a place of sad history where many people, including Yoshida Shoin, died during the Edo period, but now it has become a place where peaceful baths can heal the tiredness of the ukiyo.

Since then, I have been on a pilgrimage to public baths in Tokyo.

It's still long, but it's almost 400 houses. The path to enlightenment is still far away.
