This public bath has been in the same family for over 50 years, and is currently being run by the fifth head of the family. The large wall inside the bathhouse boasts a giant painting of Mt Fuji. The bath is spacious and has a shallow section, which is perfect for lying back and relaxing. Denjo-yu has an on-site well from which they draw their high quality water.
If you can’t get enough of this family-run sento, then why not try living with the owners for a while? Denjo-yu offers short-stay programs for young people and exchange students to experience traditional Japanese sento culture. In exchange for free accommodation and meals, you will help clean the sento every night, which gives you plenty of time to experience Tokyo during the day.
