It looks like 芦之湯 will be holding a New Year’s-only “morning bath” event.
If you take a close look at the January 3 listing…
It says “8:00 a.m.–noon”!
芦之湯 is usually open from 3:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. So being able to take a morning bath there really is something you can only do for New Year’s.
Here’s the location on the map↓
The address is 8-1 Morishitacho, Nishinomiya City.
It’s a 10-minute walk west from the South Ticket Gate of Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, or a 4-minute walk west from the “Ryodocho” Hankyu Bus stop.
At 芦之湯, they of course have a handy “easy set” so you can come empty-handed,
and amenities like towels are also available.
You can also drink “Shirobara Milk” from Daisen Dairy.The fruit milk is especially amazing.
About Public Bath Opening Days During the New Year Holidays in General
From 木春三十郎
It seems the year-end and New Year holiday opening days for public baths had been posted. Quite a few sento may be operating on a schedule close to this one.
芦乃湯 is a little different, though.
Finally
You might think, “I have a bath at home, so why bother?” But a sento can actually help you feel pretty refreshed. Give it a try with a New Year’s morning bath!
