| If you're in Tokyo and you want to give the sento
experience a try, there are a number of places to go. Some of the better-known
options are Azabu Juban Onsen in Minato Ward; Hachiman Onsen in Shinagawa Ward;
Unoki Natural Onsen and Rokugo Onsen, both in Ota Ward; Setagaya Ward's Soshigaya
Onsen 21; and Takaban no Yu, located in Meguro Ward. And with more than a thousand
to choose from in the Tokyo area, a walk around almost any neighborhood will turn
up more baths to choose from.
There are also a number of onsen "leisure
facilities" in town offering much more than just a bath. These come complete
with everything from sauna rooms to massage services, offering total relaxation
to their customers. They can cost a little more than the average sento,
but more and more people think they're worth it. Some of these luxury facilities
are described below.
