Itinerary
Experience Authentic Japanese Sento Culture with a Local Osaka Guide Join a local Osaka guide and discover authentic Japanese **sento** (public baths). Instead of visiting a tourist hot spring, you'll experience a traditional neighborhood sento. We'll meet at **JR Kyobashi Station** and walk to a **tattoo-friendly sento** through a local neighborhood. Many public baths in Japan still do not allow guests with tattoos, making tattoo-friendly sento rare. This experience lets you enjoy authentic Japanese bathing culture with confidence. Before entering, I'll explain the bathing etiquette, including how to use the lockers, wash your body, and enjoy the bath properly. First-time visitors are welcome. After your bath, we'll enjoy a **traditional post-bath drink** together and experience how locals relax after bathing. **Please note:** As I am a male guide, I cannot enter the women's bathing area. Female guests are welcome, but I cannot provide the same guidance inside. I'll explain everything beforehand and provide a simple guide sheet. Experience a side of Japanese culture and local Osaka life that most travelers never see.
