A Tokyo sento spot that breathes warmth and peace of mind into everyday life
【黄金湯】

Located in Taihei, Sumida City, Tokyo, “Koganeyu” has been a sento supporting the public health of local residents since its founding in 1932. As the sister bathhouse of “Daikokuyu,” a representative of Tokyo’s shitamachi area, the owner couple, the Shimbos, have continually pursued a “new style of sento,” and carried out a major renovation in 2020. While retaining the traditional character of a sento, it offers many attractions: an uncompromising focus on water quality, a front desk combined with a beer bar, a Maifan-stone sauna with a 90 cm-deep cold plunge, and sento murals painted by artists. Koganeyu aims to bring sento culture to more people and carry it forward into the future.

Other recommendations

• 黄金湯 is located in Sumida Ward, where you can experience Tokyo’s shitamachi (old downtown) culture, and it’s just a 6-minute walk from JR Kinshicho Station (North Exit), making it highly accessible. Nearby are the Olinas shopping mall, Kinshi Park, and the Sumida City Gymnasium, so you can enjoy a full day together with a visit to the sento.
• In addition, 黄金湯 has sister establishments—「大黒湯」「さくら湯」「金沢浴場」—each enhancing sento culture with its own unique appeal.
※Currently, 「金沢浴場」 is undergoing renovations. After the renewal, it is scheduled to operate as 「黄金湯2号店」.
• The craft beer brewery 「BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY」 is located near the sister establishment 「さくら湯」, about a 10-minute walk from 黄金湯, where you can stop by after your bath to enjoy their original beers.
