How it works
Neighbourhood sento (public bathhouses) in Japan charge no more than a price cap set by each prefecture. Choose "Neighbourhood sento" for your prefecture to use that cap. For a specific super sento or day-use hot spring, choose it from the list to use the adult price shown on its official website.
Add the number of adults and children and, if you like, a per-person amount for towel rental or a sauna fee. The total is shown in yen and converted to your currency using the European Central Bank reference rate, so the amount on your card statement will be a little different.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a sento in Osaka?
Osaka Prefecture caps the adult price at ¥600 (from April 2025). Children aged 6–11 pay up to ¥200 and under-6s up to ¥100.
How much is a super sento?
Among the Kansai super sento we list, weekday adult prices are mostly around ¥800–1,200, with weekends a little higher. Towels, sauna wear and ganbanyoku (stone bath) often cost extra.
Do I need to bring a towel?
Many sento rent or sell towels at the counter; super sento often include them in a set price or rent them separately. Bringing your own small towel saves money.
