Public baths, or sento, are a cherished part of Japanese culture and an ideal place to unwind. Otsuka boasts "Otsuka Kinen-yu," a long-established public bathhouse founded during the Taisho era. This plan centers around the sento experience, treating the entire Otsuka district as a hot spring town. A handy map highlights spots perfect for relaxing after a bath, as well as dining establishments ranging from casual izakayas to places where one can savor kaiseki or kappo cuisine.
