About Public Baths and Saunas
Public baths have numerous changing rooms, bathing areas, and resting spaces. While day use is the norm, an increasing number of facilities now offer overnight stays. When staying overnight, guests can generally use the large communal baths and saunas. Bedding is provided in the resting areas, where guests can sleep. Staying at public baths or saunas is popular among tourists and business travelers due to their affordability and the opportunity to experience Japanese bathing culture. However, some facilities may prohibit tattoos or the use of smartphones, so it’s necessary to check beforehand.
