“Tsuru no Yu” public bathhouse in Fushimi Ward

Thank you for your hard work!

This is Umino.

October has arrived, and while the days are still hot during the day, the mornings and evenings have become much cooler.

My loungewear is now completely winterized, and I no longer can’t sleep without a quilt because it is too cold.

I have recently started soaking in a bathtub instead of taking a shower during the hot season.

Do you everyone like bath?

To be honest, I don’t like it so much.(^_^;)

I don’t like the hassle of washing and wiping my body, and I don’t like the fact that the moment I get out of the bathtub, I get cold all at once. (Isn’t it that because I don’t soak properly? (I shouldn’t say that lol))

But for some reason, I like public bathhouses.

I like that little amusement park feel (even though I hate actual amusement parks… sweat).

I still occasionally go to so-called “super public bathhouses”, but this time I would like to introduce a public bathhouse that I used to frequent when I lived in Fushimi district, Kyoto, about 10 years ago (the reason why I used to frequent it is because the apartment I lived in at the time did not have a bath).

The name of the public bathhouse is “Turunoyu”.

About 10-minute walk from Kintetu “Fushimi” Station.

There are various baths here, including an open-air bath, a sleeping bath, an electric bath, and a radon bath.

It has two floors, and on the second floor there is a sauna, a water bath, and its open-air bath (I have never been in sauna…).

My personal recommendation is this open-air bath.

In this open-air bath, we can enjoy a variety of baths that change weekly, including “Yunohana” (Kusatu hot spring), “Lavender”, “Matcha” (powdered green tea), and “Wine”.

When I was there, the baths smelled like a forest…

And since I was there a little early in the evening, I enjoyed this open-air bath as if I had the place to myself.

After taking a bath, I took a short rest in the lobby.

The price is very cheap, and as I brought your own bath towel, I could get in for only 400 yen in 2011 (I lived alone and had no money at all, so this was a big help to me(^▽^;)).

Even if I went empty-handed, I could get in for about 700 yen at that time, so I think it was a strong supporter for people living alone.

Please check out its website and visit there when you are in Fushimi district!

Thank you for reading it to the end. See you next time!
