Visiting the public baths of old-time Higashiyama

Public bathhouses are one sure way to effectively gauge the mood of the people living in the local area. Right next door to “Higashiyama Sho,” is the Kuwana-Yu bathhouse, which opened for business in 1927. Also located alongside the Asanogawa River is the Kobashi-Yu bathhouse, and you can even enjoy a natural hot spring bath at the Yamato Onsen bathhouse, where you can see a replica of the famous stone lantern in Kenrokuen Garden. Visit a public bathhouse to not only soothe your travel weariness, but also to relax and enjoy the old-time Kanazawa-style bathing experience.
