１００年の歴史！銭湯「梅の湯」・ Sento, old Japanese-style public bath ”Ume-no-Yu"
（Followed by English translation）
この間、昭和の香り漂う銭湯を発見！
その名も「梅の湯」
なんと100年も続いているそうです
車なら家からあまり遠くないので、主人と行ってみました。
由緒正しい？銭湯に行くのは何十年ぶり〜
ちょっとドキドキ。
正面は、『ザ・昭和の銭湯』です️
ガラスの引き戸を開けて中に入ると、左手の番台に女将さんが座っていました。
料金480円を渡しながら、
「初めてなんです。」と言うと、
女将さんは「よろしくお願いします。」と言ってくださいました♡
脱衣所には鍵のかかるロッカーがありました。
隅の方に、昔ながらの竹の脱衣カゴが重なってるのを見つけて、「なつかし〜」と感動♡
貴重品だけロッカーに入れて、あとはカゴにポンポンと入れて
タオルかぶせておけばオッケー！すごく楽ちんです！
お風呂は大きな浴槽がふたつ。
オリーブオイルとハーブが入ってるグリーンのお湯と、アワアワのジャグジー風呂。
ジャグジーは期待してなかったけど、肩甲骨にジャストミート！
洗い場のシャワーは固定式だけど、勢いもあってシャンプーしやすかったです。
脱衣所にドライヤーが二台あって髪の毛を乾かせます。
20円入れると3、4分熱風が出てらくるので、ショートヘアーならざっくり乾かせます。
今回は入らなかったけど、脱衣所の向こうに露天風呂もありました。
演歌っぽい音楽も流れてて、昭和の香りたっぷりの銭湯体験
主人とふたり、身も心も癒されました〜♡
I love a hot bath. Actually, soaking in a hot bath is one of my favorite things to do after my right shoulder surgery.
Sadly, many sento, old Japanese-style public baths, were closed, and not so many of them remain these days.
However, my husband and I found that kind of old sento the other day. It is not so far from our house. It takes about ten minutes by car.
Recently, we had a chance to visit Ume-no-yu for the first time.
There were old-style shoeboxes at the entrance. Their keys are made of wood.
The entrance to the public bath was a smoked glass sliding door.
When I opened it, I saw the Bandai, the watchtower seated on an elevated chair to keep watch of the belongings for both the male and female rooms. The male and female rooms are right next to each other and separated only by a wall.
When I was a child, the main purpose of the watcher was to keep our belongings safe from thieves.
We always made sure to keep the schedule of the watcher in mind when planning our trip to the public bath. We only went there when the watcher was the madam, not the master.
There were many small rocks in the dressing room. You can put your belongings and variables in there.
They also have traditional Japanese sento-style bamboo baskets. I put my clothes in there and covered them with a towel, just as I used to do when I was a child.
Inside of bathroom, they had two big bathtubs. One was green, which contained olive oil and some minerals, and another was a jacuzzi bubble bath.
I really enjoyed both.
After I got out of the bath, I needed to dry my hair.
They had two hairdryers in front of a big mirror. When you insert 20 yen into the slit, you can use it for a couple of minutes.
We enjoyed traditional Japanese-style sento to the full.The jacuzzi was perfect for massaging my back and shoulder.
We will definitely visit there again！
