We, all Japanese, love Onsen or hot-spring resorts. A lot of people enjoy neighborhood public bath-house, sento, or travel to a hot-spring resort located outside of the city once in a while. It is one of the important aspects of Japanese culture. And there is this new type of sento called "super sento." It is a conveniently located public bath-house with usually "natural" hot-spring and it has a small restaurant or at least a place where you can relax with light snack and drinks after taking a bath. Not surprising at all in Japan, but they dig the land under the property and take natural hot-spring for the bath. And the number of these places have been increasing recently.
There is one near CaminoRo, which is the best in my experiences. It is called "Hinatano-yu" and is located not only conveniently, but also on the top of a nine storied building. The facilities are super clean overall. It has a nice waiting room with free foot bath, outside bath with great view and its natural hot water is really outstanding. It will be a problem if you have a tatoo on your body, if not, it may be a must activity while staying with us!! Don't worry, everyone is naked, so you don't need to be shy!
it is in Japanese, but you can have some idea of what and how it is.
