hey guys good morning good morning from
Chile Tokyo it's kind of a chilly day
today but that's okay that's perfect
because today I'm gonna take you guys
inside three of Tokyo's Centel public
bath houses I've actually never been in
one myself so I'm super excited so back
in the old days in Japan there were
sindelle everywhere in Tokyo because the
average person didn't have a bath in
their home so they would go to a public
bath house to share bath with their
local community today in Tokyo of course
most people do have a bath in their home
but there are still 600 Centel remaining
in Tokyo all right so first up for today
is I see you behind me here let's head
in and see what it's like inside this is
a newly renovated building so it looks
quite new and fresh inside here you have
the email side here the mail bath is
behind me here bathing necessities like
soap shampoo or razors are often sold at
sento in case you forget something so I
have special permission today to wear a
towel inside the bath because I'm
filming but normally you want to go and
completely naked also another important
rule is that before you go in you want
to do coq au cupcake is to pour over and
use hot water so basically you want to
clean off your body before you enter the
back so that's we're going to
[Music]
KCU is famous for the huge aquarium that
they have in the wall back here
[Music]
did you can feel the little bubbles in
the water against your skin it's really
cool and something in the water made my
skin extremely soft it was really cool
how you could relax in the bath and
enjoy the view of the fish behind you
next I went on to try the regular water
bath but over there I discovered my
absolute favorite thing about sento the
massage bath area it's like a mini
Jacuzzi that fits perfectly around your
body you push a button the Jets begin
and you sit in there and it's just like
your own personal jacuzzi it was it was
pretty amazing highly recommend it this
silky bath was also really nice it was
like a really smooth and creamy bubble
bath I really love the variety of baths
that are available in the scent Oh once
you're nice and warmed up from the bath
you can dry off and head out to the
waiting area where you can find this
vending machine with nice cool drinks to
cool you down you're gonna need it
yeah
ha
so there are simple
we're just arriving on our next location
this is Saito you right inside the doors
of this sento you'll find a little
locker area Saito you is actually 80
years old but they recently underwent a
renovation so the deck Laura looks
really new and modern while still
incorporating some elements of
traditional Japanese style you put a
safety a little Kasey's into Sunday Mail
Thank You lessons this Center had a
ticket machine so you put in your coins
press the adult button and out pops your
ticket
the inside of the bath is nice and
bright with lots of natural light if you
would prefer to have a little privacy
they also had a shower booths which I
thought was really cool once I had
showered I headed straight for the
electric bath this sento had an electric
bath a low electric current is running
through the water supposed to help
soothe sore muscles this Center also
features a gorgeous note Embudo or
outside bath where you can enjoy lots of
natural light and fresh air coming
through the ceiling
[Music]
after enjoying the massage bath at the
previous sento so much I had to see what
Saito you had to offer they actually had
a whole row of massage baths here and
this one special reclining one
it was super comfortable you lie down
and there is even Jets at the bottom
which massage your feet Saito you also
has a carbonated bath nice warm
temperature and not too hot which I
really enjoyed
you can see the bubbles in the water I
finish off my stay with a quick dip into
the cold bath and then I headed out to
the waiting room to enjoy a nice cool
drink before heading on to the next
sento c'est moi
machinima thingy out of the gear simple
to know continue unless young fella
photogenic you say no money no money on
there so reason a bunch of symbolizes
your soul another one oh I'm a nanny you
know forever your visual videos mister
welcome to our next Center location we
are at in ITU this sento is over 80
years old it's been passed down from
generation to generation but they've
really maintained the old traditional
style it's a lot different than the
other two Center we visited so let's go
inside and check it out
[Music]
the interior of this bath house is made
mostly from wood a very traditional
design and features a Bondi which is a
seat where the staff will sit and they
have a view of the entire bath house to
make sure nothing sketchy is going on
knowing sealing anything and they can
also watch over the customers to make
sure everyone is safe
[Music]
this Center was actually featured in a
Japanese movie so it's quite well known
here in Japan can you see them out
through G behind the ear you've probably
noticed that there are Mount Fuji and
actually all three of the sento that we
visited today this is actually the
symbol of Tokyo sento most of the center
you visit will have a Mount Fuji
painting or a tile work design but you
may find it surprised and find something
different inside so that's kind of one
of the ways you can enjoy sento is
seeing what kind of picture they have on
the wall even the coq au buckets are
traditional style made out of wood here
so they have three different temperature
baths this is the new to you which is
the coolest one but it's still 39
degrees so I wouldn't consider it cool
it's definitely warm medium temperature
water which is actually quite hot and
then hot which is probably impossible
for me to enter because I'm very
sensitive to eat poby that's really hot
they weren't lying the new to you or
coldest temperature bath that they have
was actually the perfect temperature for
me 39 degrees seems about right but
apparently the older customers really
really enjoy the hot baths so I touched
it and that's about as far as I got the
sento also has something interesting see
these rocks here I thought they were
just for decoration but they're actually
called a shih tzu bow and they push the
pressure points on your feet so you're
supposed to stand on here for a few
seconds it's kind of painful but it's
supposed to be good for you so let's do
it
oh my god oh you'll also find a great
selection of cold drinks like these mini
beer cans that were super adorable teas
juices vitamin water they have it all
they also had a little manga section
which I thought was cool but my favorite
part was this little outdoor garden they
had with a koi pond
[Music]
so are really just a place to come and
relax and you don't know that he doesn't
know beat his legs about that
so Kobayashi sonic I see you kind of
taught us about the importance of hadaka
no it's key I here in Japan which can be
roughly translated as like me kid
relationship which is kind of strange
but after experiencing all these sento
and kind of imagining what it would be
like just chilling in here with your
neighbors I can kind of understand it
now one important thing is there are
some rules you need to follow when you
are visiting acento so please watch this
ending clip and learn about those rules
thanks so much for watching guys and
I'll see you soon all right here are
some basic guidelines that you can
follow at the sento in Japan first of
all you want to be completely naked no
bathing suit and you want to make sure
you have a shower before you get into
the bath make sure not to put your towel
into the bath with you and there'll be
some little stools to sit on while
you're showering so don't stand up
also don't wash your clothes or
underwear in the shower
make sure to dry off well before heading
back into the dressing area and that's
it have fun guys
