Goko-yu

Goko-yu is a beloved local sento (public bathhouse) in Kyoto, famous for its unique two-story layout and surprisingly diverse range of baths. Beyond the standard hot tubs, you will find herbal baths, electric baths, a cold plunge, and a rare, intense salt sauna on the second floor. It offers an authentic, no-frills slice of daily Kyoto life that is perfect for soothing sore muscles after a long day of temple walking.
