​ ​Botanical public bathJust asking "- what a fascinating sounding.
As its name suggests, healing space surrounded by plantsOkada Yu "I'd like to introduce_______

Okada-yu reborn as fashionable

"Okada Yu" which the character of the large "Yu" at the top of the 4-story building is eye-catching even from the main street.
Early Showa era was established in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The original building was a retro look of a chimney on the roof tiles, but Hiroki Okada, the third generation, renewed the road in front of the building.
Born in March 2011 as a new relaxation facility.

The sento is on the 2nd and 3rd floor. You can go upstairs on the second floor by stairs or elevator.
A tall wooden shelf occupies the wall right on the right side of the entrance, and books and figurines, photographs etc. are decorated in a well-balanced manner, just like a stylish book & cafe.
It is a space that I'm afraid to murmuring as "Well, it really is a public bath?"
Overhead, Mt. Fuji and cherry blossom prints with a small presence while small.
Also the work of Heather Brown, a famous surf artist living in Hawaii.
"Talking about a public bath would be Mt. Fuji," the master.
It seems that he bought it instead of Mt. Fuji in the bathroom.

"Botanical public bath" spreading space of healing

In Okada-yu, we pass the key of the shoe box and receive the key of the locker locker.
Pay bathing fee at front desk and have key exchanged.
For women,The thorough cleansing is being sold​ ​
When you think about going out on the go, it is convenient because it gets dragged by hand.
Of course, we have all sorts of things necessary, such as selling towels, rental (charged).

Okada Yu is not only apparent, but also hot water is soft water soft for the body.
Since it uses purified water for well water, it does not only make it tingling, but it also seems to be popular as the skin warms up suddenly.
Especially recommended for dry skin people.

The right side of the bathtub area is a washroom, and the floor here is a tile.
There are two types of chairs, high and low, so you can use it as you like.
The shower has a switch also in the head part, it is an excellent one that can be used only by the operation at hand.
There is also a dry sauna (charged) in the back of the washing room.
There is a staircase just before that.
"As a stairway to the bath?", Looking up slowly, you can see the whole bathroom and enjoy the magical healing scenery like being in the botanical garden.

After refreshing with hot water and greenery, we had a break in the lobby.

Proceeding to the back of the front, there is a space full of relaxation like a colonnade library!
To relax on the sofa, it is also fun to talk with family and friends on the dig table of the low table.
There is also a massage chair (chargeable) in the corner.

On the wall of chic mosaic, the picture of Okada-yu before renewal is decorated.
The tiled roof, chimney and old curran, etc are felt nostalgically in the form baked in black and white photographs.

There is a beer server at the counter.
Ebisu draft beer (400 yen) is available.
If you set a beer and bathing fee set ticket (810 yen) you can earn 50 yen.

There is also a smoke-free space in the loft which is completely smoked so it is good to be able to relax smokers as well.

Knowledge of the public bathtan 【length of goodwill】

Speaking of a symbol of a public bath is a goodwill, but its length and shape are different depending on the area.
Tokyo is short (40 to 50 cm) in length, 5 in front, Osaka is long in height (130 cm), and 3 in the front is common.
The main reason is the difference in the building.
As Osaka enters the entrance as soon as there is a series and a clothing hall, a long goodwill plays a role of blindfold.
Meanwhile, the entrance to the public bath in Tokyo has a wide entrance space, the door and the destination is a dressing room.
Also, goodwill is chiseled to splash up with one hand, so it is made shorter.
