A cozy public bath near Shibuya and Ebisu stations where you can take a breather
A heartwarming Tokyo spot where Japan’s traditional sento culture meets contemporary art
【改良湯】
Located in Ebisu, just a short distance from Shibuya Station, 改良湯 is a place where you can fully enjoy beauty and wellness, human connection, and the original charm of the sento. In Shibuya, a place where diverse people and cultures gather from across Japan and around the world, 改良湯 creates encounters with multifaceted cultures through events and workshops, becoming a space where the communities that emerge grow in cohesive strength. In everyday life, it offers a new experience: instead of spending time at a cafe or bookstore, you can restore mind and body at a sento.
Top 3 recommended points

1. Skin-friendly soft water
At 改良湯, we use soft water that is low in irritation and safe for those with atopic skin, sensitive skin, and dry skin. This soft water improves the lather of soap and shampoo, leaves hair and skin moisturized, and eliminates the squeaky feeling after bathing. It also naturally activates skin metabolism, warming the body well and helping prevent cooling down after a bath. The water quality has an ion balance close to sodium hot springs commonly known as “bijin-no-yu.”

2. Well-equipped sauna facilities
改良湯 offers a “Kelo sauna” (women’s side) and a “convection sauna” (men’s side), which are expected to help with recovery from fatigue, beauty benefits, better sleep, and anti-aging effects. A separate fee (550円) is required to use the sauna. Work up a sweat in the sauna and enjoy a blissful moment that refreshes both body and mind.

3. Baths with a variety of benefits
To pair with the sauna, the “cold bath” is recommended. It may promote vascular constriction and dilation, improve metabolism, relieve muscle fatigue, and support weight loss. In addition, the “carbonated spring bath,” in which carbon dioxide is absorbed through the skin and dilates blood vessels to promote blood flow, has been reported to aid recovery from fatigue and improve skin, and it is attracting attention in facilities for Olympic athletes and in the medical field.
