A quiet Finnish sauna guiding you to the ultimate state
Tokyo Nakano City
"Matsumoto-yu" is a long-established sento in Nakano, Tokyo that was renovated in 2021. Its standout feature is one of the deepest cold plunge baths in Tokyo, with a depth of 150 cm in the men's bath and 135 cm in the women's bath. The cooling experience of standing while your whole body is enveloped in cold water is truly one of a kind. The sauna is a full-fledged Finnish-style sauna with automatic löyly, and in the quiet room without a TV, jazz plays softly, allowing you to deeply turn inward. From resting on the Ryukyu tatami in the changing area to the modern bath space highlighted by digital signage, every detail has been carefully designed, letting you enjoy an ultimate totonou experience that goes beyond the framework of a sento.
