Where can I go to a public bath (sento)?
Some public bath facilities are still available in most of the cities we will be visiting. Ask each hotel where the nearest sento is. The public bath is open until late, and the admission is about 400 yen. Make sure to follow the bathing etiquette (also see these illustrated instructions!). There are also hot springs/spas (onsen) available in many cities, but the admission is much higher (contact Mayumi if you want more info on onsen in a particular location).
