Sento, Simply Delightful! Let's make today a warm and happy day.
With “Sento Ikuyo,” finding a local bathhouse, collecting stamps, and using coupons is super easy!
Let this app be your bubbly buddy for a better bath life!
1. Just a Little Prep Before You Soak!
Bring your towel, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and coins!
First time? Check the opening hours and whether there's a sauna or other facilities.
Many sento offer rentals—yes, you can even go empty-handed!
2. Arriving at the Sento - The Fun Starts at the Door
Take off your shoes and pop them in a locker!
Say “Konnichiwa(Hello)” to the front desk—it's part of the charm!
Pay your fee, and off you go to the bath area!
3. Deep Breath in the Changing Room
Store your clothes in a locker. If there's a key, strap it to your wrist or arm.
Only bring your towel and bathing items to the bath area.
Lock up your valuables and go minimal—it's the stylish way!
*Please note that some sento may not offer key-locked lockers. Be sure to check the facility details before your visit.
4. Bathtime Etiquette - Keep it Cool (or Warm!)
The Basics of Sento Manners
Always rinse off with a bucket of water before entering the tub!
Make sure to clean your body before entering the tub.
Done using a stool or bucket? Rinse it and return it to its place. Thank you!
Tie up long hair to keep it out of the bath.
Keep towels out of the water—try folding it on your head!
Enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Listen to the water, not loud voices.
Please Avoid the Following!
Jumping into the bath without rinsing? No thanks! Jumping into the bath all sweaty after the sauna? That's a big no-no!
Letting your long hair soak in the tub—yikes!
Swimming? This isn't a pool!
Loud conversations in the bath can spoil the mood for others.
Soaked floors from not drying off—wipe yourself before heading out!
Never bathe when you've been drinking!
Alcohol and hot water don't mix—stay safe and sober before you soak.
5. After the Bath - Chill Time Begins
Don't forget to hydrate—milk or Gatorade are a classic!
Relax in the lounge and soak in the warmth even longer.
Dry your hair and tidy up before you go. Stay sharp!
※The rules above are just common examples.
Each bathhouse may have its own style or house rules.
Be sure to check posted signs and follow the sento's guidelines for a pleasant experience!
