Kusatsu-yu - Arakawa City

A public bath where the old-fashioned stand still remains ♨️ One big bath is simple, but it has a powerful jet, no bath, no sauna, no parking.

Today's public bath. "Kusatsuyu" in Minamisenju. Why Kusatsu? It's not a hot spring. The hot water is not circulating, probably because of business difficulties. Therefore, the bathhouse is quiet like before the end of work. There is no sound on the TV at the dressing room because Bandai is watching it with earphones. There are no people in the women's bath, it is pitch black. I'm thorough. A public bath that is the opposite of liveliness. Minami Senju town itself is like that. #photobybozzo #Kusatsuyu #Minamisenju #Sento

A few minutes from Minamisenju Station, the public bath Kusatsuyu is located in front of the Third Mizuko Elementary School. It is a traditional Tokyo sento. When I went there 13 years ago, there were 7 public baths around Minamisenju, but now there are only 2 public baths, Kusatsu-yu and Taisho-yu. By the way, there are currently 19 public baths in Arakawa Ward, which was 42 in 2007. In fact, more than half of the 23 public baths were closed. The public baths that continue to be closed nationwide. It's just lonely, albeit with the passage of time. However, I still have memories of when I went there. When I went to Kusatsuyu-san, I was disappointed that the pliers on the ceiling and walls had peeled off. When I went this time, the paint painting had changed to Mr. Tanaka. The date is 13.5.15, 8 years ago. It seems that both the ceiling and walls were repainted at that time. It's a little dusty. Rainy and windy, Sunday evening. There were 4 male customers in the hour I was there. There are also several female customers. Besides the cheerful greetings of the landlady, the bathhouse was quiet. At first, there was no sign of women's bath. The hot water isn't flowing, and it looks like a pool of hot water, so I don't feel so good. When you press the button, the jet and body will flow for a short time. About 43 degrees Celsius, my cold body warmed up. At the dressing room, there was a guide to recruit public bath supporters. Arakawa Ward's watching support staff sento dispatch project will support elderly people in areas where it is uneasy to take a bath alone, so that they can take a bath twice a week for 2 hours in the afternoon. It's a great initiative, but I don't know if volunteers will come. There are many customers at popular public baths and super public baths. Customers will come if you make an attractive bath. I felt that it would be great if a large number of customers came to Mr. Kusatsuyu. It was a good hot water. (2021.3)

Valuable stand style. When you enter the bathroom, you will be welcomed by Fuji, which is a striking stride with a magnificent blue and green contrast. (Is it Mizuki Tanaka?) I tried to get to Kallang, but I couldn't find a chair even though I had a kerosene tub. (Why is this a rule to sit on the ground!?) For a moment, I was impatient, but when I looked over it, it became a bathtub and it was piled up in the back. I also find that we have to refrain from talking loudly in Corona, but no one really enjoys the conversation. There are many regulars because I see them. There is no greeting, and I can't hear it from the ladies' bath. Everyone is bathing quietly. It was a unique experience ?

A 2-minute walk from JR Joban Line, Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, and Tsukuba Express Minami-Senju Station. A public bath that has outstanding advantages, but has no other advantages. It's a pity that the broken shoehorn is placed at the entrance.

Around 22:30, the electric crackling will be turned off ? The customers are all-body skin diseases, former wrestlers with unusually odorous mouths, and many idiots who take a bath and do not wash their heads ? As expected, Minamisenju. The picture is strange, after all ?☠️?

The Showa public bath, which is located in the back of an alley 3-4 minutes on foot from JR Minamisenju, and the hot water boiled with firewood are a little hot.

It seems that it has been in business before the wife of the band got married, and is it about 70 years as a private calculation (because it looks like his wife's age)? (20210911) Since the lower leg holder at the entrance is divided into two, there is a number when you enter inside. You can see the old-fashioned well-shaped ceiling, the low partition, and the door where men and women can come and go. In addition, the refrigerator for milk was turned into a bath utensil case. The locker is centrally facing and on the wall, so it can be used widely. The bathroom has the familiar blue ceiling and cream / light brown tiles, and Mt. Fuji straddling men and women is drawn in the back of the bathroom. There is only one bathtub, but if you look at it broadly, it may be divided into left and right (20 cm deep difference). The left one seems to have had bubbles before, but now it is plain hot water. There are two types of jets (button type) on the right. The area on the left is large enough for eight people to immerse, but the water depth is shallow. When the poster enters the hot water, the surface of the hot water is quite far from the important part (a little above the knee). The right is normal. The water temperature is over 42 degrees. The window on the right is decorated so that you can feel like a rock bath. The hot water temperature of the faucet is a little high, so it is convenient to adjust with water. There are 3 standing showers. The tub and stool are located at the entrance and to the left of the bathtub. Bring necessary tools such as shampoo. (Because it is a public bath) The fuel is miscellaneous fuel.
