The sento is a special place. In the relentlessly fast paced lifestyle of the megacities of Japan, these public bathhouses offer a sweet release: a moment in time where things slow down, stop entirely even, whilst you soak your problems away. Hot bath, cold bath, sauna, repeat. You spend enough hours in the sento, you feel like you are reborn. It's that good, and if you haven't tried it, we implore you to do so. So, with the sento being such a cultural pillar for Japan, it makes sense...
