The nostalgic charm of the Showa era, the healing comfort of a "restorative bathhouse," and the luxury of 100% groundwater
Tokyo Toshima City
"Goshiki-yu" is a historic sento in Mejiro, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, founded in 1952. In 2022, it underwent a major renovation under the concept of a "restorative bathhouse for the soul," evolving into a space where traces of traditional miya-zukuri architecture and modern facilities come together. Both the hot water and the cold water use fresh groundwater drawn from 100 m underground, and its soft feel on the skin is one of its proudest features. The sauna is set at a high temperature of 100°C, creating a meditative space filled with the scent of medicinal herbs. The cold groundwater bath, surrounded by natural rock, offers the refreshing sensation of being immersed in a mountain stream. With a spacious changing area and an outdoor air-bathing space, it helps you forget the everyday bustle of the city.
