The Kodakara-yu sento (public bathhouse built in 1929), is a traditional sento that serves as urban sanctuary, inviting patrons to cleanse their bodies, unwind, and foster connections with neighbors. Japanese bathing culture is a rich tapestry woven with two main threads: the communal experience of sento and the natural wonders of onsen.
In my article (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20231025-kodakara-yu-bathhouse), I explore the nuances between these quintessentially Japanese experiences, delving into their cultural significance, cost, and unique offerings. I also provide links to Google Maps and to source materials (6-minute read).
