きりつぼ温泉

There are standard baths (deep and shallow), an electric bath, an ultrasonic bath (sitting), a bubble bath (lying?), an open-air bath, a cold bath, and a sauna. The bath area is quite spacious and relaxing. I saw a picture of Mt. Fuji and penguins on the wall, and I silently cheered, thinking, "That's it! This is what I wanted to see while soaking!" I've been to over 25 public baths now, but surprisingly, there aren't many pictures on the walls. The changing room is overflowing with manga magazines! They have a lot of my favorite gourmet comics! It's easy to forget you're in a bathhouse, and time just flies by as you read. There's also a wide selection of drinks to enjoy after your bath. Although I ended up finishing off with a milk bottle drink in one go, having the freedom to choose is important, isn't it? Admission Fee: 520 yen Shampoo: None Hair Dryer: 20 yen (3 minutes) Toilet: Western-style (with washlet) Parking: 6 spaces (3 of which are for minicars)

A public bathhouse in Hirano Ward. The nearest station is Osaka Metro Hirano Station. ⚫︎Price ¥600 including sauna. Bath towels are required when using the sauna. You can bring your own, but renting one is ¥50. ⚫︎Bathroom ① Deep Bath A square main bath. ② Shallow Bath Two ultrasonic baths (jet baths) installed. ③ Electric Bath The current is somewhat strong. ④ Bubble Bath (Jacuzzi) A chilled water pillow is installed. There was a bag containing what appeared to be yuzu floating in it. ⑤ Open-Air Bath Designed to resemble a rock bath. Be careful of steps. It's not very spacious, so it's not suitable for a sauna retreat. ⑥ Sauna The indoor thermometer measures approximately 60°C, and there's a TV. Capacity is 5 people (2-person seats + 3-person seats). 7. Cold Bath Capacity: 2 people. It's really cold. Unfortunately, it's located far from the sauna.

Lovely Showa era public bath. One reviewer said the water wasn’t hot…described it as lukewarm. The water temperature was really good. A lot of Japanese likes it hot but this one was perfect. A small kid was here and got in without complaining about it being too hot. I would give it a higher rating but I love a powerful shower. Was weak but with the building being as old as it is, plus the high cost of water it’s good that it isn’t. Too many small sentos are going out of business. I will definitely go again if I’m in the area. Bring your own soap and towel. If you don’t have either towel rentals are available and soap can be purchased. Sorry…no pics.

Wow, it's been 30 years? It's been a while since I last went nearby?! It hasn't changed at all!! Just like the Showa era public bathhouse! They have a wide selection of massage machines, books, toys, and more! I think kids will love it. They also have candy, ice cream, beer, and more! With the number of public bathhouses decreasing every year, I hope this one will continue to exist forever 🎵 Whenever I go to a public bathhouse I'm not familiar with, there are almost always some arrogant regulars, but maybe it was just the time of day I went? Everyone was nice!!

The public bath near my room was closed, so I took the train from Abeno and went there for the first time. It's very conveniently close to Hirano Station. The hostess at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. The open-air bath and the atmospheric bath were both lukewarm, and the large baths were separated by high temperatures, so I was able to relax. The sauna is free, and you can bring your own bath towel from home. Bath towels are only 50 yen per person. I took a dip in the cold bath and felt refreshed. This was a public bath I'd like to visit again.
