Onsen, Sento - Bath in Ikaho
Last couple of days I spent taking on average four baths a day in Ikaho, a small Onsen resort two hours from Tokyo. The town is on slope, and the main street on stairs.
On the top of the stairs, there's a little Shinto shrine, and lots of prayers.
Whilst the ryokan I was staying in had excellent out door hot pools (rotenburo), I decided to try the Sento, Japanese public bath. Only this time, it was rather private, since there were no other bathers at the time, so I took the opportunity to get some photographs inside.
