minami aoyama shimizu-yu sento
INTRO
A nice, clean, kind-of-modern, and a bit pricy Sento - not Onsen - in the heart of Omotesando. Pricy points to the sauna price and considering that no body wash/shampoo is provided. The sento price is regulated throughout Japan with 470 Yen. Omotesando is one of the most pleasant (and most expensive) neighborhoods in Tokyo. Beside being a major (luxury) shopping destination, it is also home to some amazing modern architecture. There is also the “Commune 2nd” near by which is an indoor/outdoor collection of bars and eateries with a communal space and is frequented by many young creatives and fashionistas. Please notice that they do not store luggage for you.
