Umeyu, with its charming retro atmosphere, is located in Gojo Rakuen and was founded in the Meiji period (1868-1912). The current owner, who took over the business when he heard it was closed, is a strong man who visited all the public bathhouses in the prefecture when he was a student. As the name of the bathhouse suggests, the sauna, which is the main attraction of the bathhouse, can be entered free of charge (bathing fee is not included). On Saturdays and Sundays, bathing is available from 6:00 a.m., and morning saunas can also be enjoyed.

Tama-no-Yu is a public bathhouse near Kyoto City Hall that has been in operation since 1894. The brightness and cleanliness of the bathhouse are impressive and loved by both children and adults alike. 100-110°C sauna and natural underground water bath are an excellent combination, and some customers come from far away to enjoy the comfort of the bathhouse. After a hot sauna, take a break and enjoy one of the many beverages available.

For 450 yen, you can enjoy a high-temperature sauna, a natural water bath, and an outdoor air bath. Many "sa travelers" and entertainers from outside of the prefecture visit this bathhouse, and it is the best public bathhouse in Kyoto for sauna lovers. The water bath is naturally flowing from the groundwater and has a mild texture and a large volume of water. It is also nice to be able to take a rest in the outdoor air bath in the open-air bath. On a hot day, go soak in the water bath that Hakusan-yu is proud of.

Designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, there are many things to see in the changing rooms alone, such as the wood carving on the ceiling depicting a tengu and Yoshitsune Minamoto, and majolica tiles with beautiful unevenness and gorgeous colors. The open-air water bath, where water pours from a dragon's mouth, offers a relaxing view. Visit on a day when you want to enjoy the solemn atmosphere and variety of baths along with the sauna.

Ginza Yu reopened in February 2020 after a six-year absence. The sauna room is full of cleanliness and cozy with calm music playing. After sweating in the popular sauna, you can go to the water bath pumped from natural groundwater. You can also enjoy a variety of medicinal baths that change daily, such as the "raw malt bath" that makes your skin smooth and smooth, which is very pleasing to women.
