Essentials
Jouban-Yu - public bath. In the past, many homes in Japan were not equipped with a bathtub. To fill this void, the neighborhood public bath (銭湯, sentō, lit. "coin hot water") was a place where the locals could go to wash themselves, soak in a tub and socialize with neighbors. Nowadays, as most households have their own bath, the number of traditional public baths has decreased, but they can still be found in many of the more old-fashioned city neighborhoods. In addition, a new type of public bath has emerged in recent decades. Much larger than the traditional sento, these bathing complexes features a range of pools, saunas and fitness facilities. Some of the largest resemble small theme parks and offer various dining, entertainment and relaxation services. Accordingly, many customers spend extended time periods there.
