Decoding Kyoto Project 2008 The Sento - Japanese Public Bathhouses in Kyoto
Izutsu-yu （井筒湯）
Izutsu-yu was established in 1950, and its building is about 100 years old. The sunshine pouring into the dressing room through the window in the ceiling makes you comfortable. In addition, a massage chair (charge) and magazines (in Japanese) are in the dressing room, so when you come out of the bath, you can relax.
The greatest characteristic of Izutsu-yu is the ceramic tile mural in the bathroom. The tile picture of grassland is on the wall of the bathroom. You can look at the beautiful tile picture while taking a bath. It is really impressive. Also, Izutsu-yu has many kinds of baths and other facilities, and "Human Washing Machine" is especially popular among children.
The Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle are near, so please experience the bath culture of Kyoto after sightseeing.
