The bath
What you’ll find
Arima-yu is a historic neighborhood sento (public bathhouse) in Tokyo's Sanya area famous for its huge monkey mural, offering very hot indoor baths (around 43–45°C) with no sauna or cold plunge; bring your own shampoo/soap and cash, as some reviewers found the water dangerously hot and toiletries inconsistently available.
