Nakanobu Onsen Matsunoyu is a traditional sento (public bath house) in the Nakanobu neighborhood of Shinagawa ward.

Like all good sento, there is a large mural of Mount Fuji to admire while you soak. This isn’t just an ordinary sento though, it’s a veritable theme park of different bath types.

They have a rotenburo (outdoor bath) with a view of a Japanese garden, a “high power” bath, a “screw bath” (the water rotates), and a sauna. For the adventurous, they also have an electric bath with live current running through the water.
