Looks good if you are a jap. I dont go to that kind of place japs need their own places away ftom subhumans

You guys should go to a super sentō.

I went to one and everyone staired at me. It was super awkward. It was mixed men and women naked together. They kept saying "no no no, please leave, Japanese only". I told them I was Asian too and they needed to accept me. I'm not even brown so it was just racism. I told the front desk they needed to kick the racists out but they pretended to not understand my English.

>be american
>go to sento
>fart on the stool
>don't wash yourself before going into the bath
>talk loudly
>take photos

Would like to try one out next time I'm in Japan, but probably a super sento and not some small local spot like this because it'd be awkward as fuck.

>>2917741
You just described every Chinese tourist.

>>2917556
I stayed in such a bizzare "hostel" in Nishinari that the place had dirt cheap, clean private rooms and zero bums around BUT no shower. At all. So I pretty much had to go to the local neighborhood sento to wash myself.
Was fine, really. The grandpas gave me a puzzled look at first but stopped giving a shit a minute later.
I fail to see the point though if you have a bathtub at home.

>>2917733
This story is completely made up. First, standard public baths (Sento) in Japan are strictly separated by gender by law; there are no "mixed naked" urban Sentos. Second, you were likely turned away not because of racism, but because you either broke bathhouse rules (like not washing before entering) or had visible tattoos. Japanese people get kicked out too if they don't follow the rules. Stop spreading fake experiences.

>>2917804
Oh look another "racism doesnt exist in Japan" denying my lived experience.

>>2917834
Oh look another "stop destroying my virgin incel fantasy with facts" post.

Soaking in the big bath at a Sento is very relaxing.

I worked in a sento for a while, the owner was this weird old man who also owned the apartment building I stayed in. I had to kick Japanese people out all the time for having tattoos or even wearing a swimsuit in the bath.

>my lived experience
Reddit is down the hall and to the left

>>2918151
Don't lie, local public bathhouses don't make enough money to hire staff.

>>2918161
I was the only staff member although there was apparently a young woman before me who left suddenly. The owner was very weird, he never blinked and could walk up to you silently so you never noticed him.

>>2917556
Went to one of these in Kyoto, really nice experience (i've never even experienced saunas or something. And considering my feet where killing me after walking all day, i really needed it
Only downsides were my own mistakes:
--retardedly soaked the very towel i was supposed to use to dry myself later

>>2918169
What kind of work did you do at the public bathhouse, as a complete novice?

>>2917556
I went to one of these near a tourist spot in Osaka. All it had were South Asian men and very few actual Japanese guys. The South Asian men kept coming up to me asking "how tall?" and pointed at my dick while I was trying to soap up. It was very awkward and I won't be going back. What has happened to Japan?

>>2918481
And then everybody clapped.

>>2918481
Are you Appalachian by any chance? The same thing with South Asian men happened to me in Appalachia, except as soon as I got in the pool they all blitzed me and held me down and gang raped me. Well, at first it was rape, but by the middle of it I kind of liked it. They make me come there weekly and get fucked like a cheap whore. I think they might even be pimping me out, I never understand what they're saying. It's my dirty little secret. My Appalachian boy bussy gets moist just thinking about it.

>>2918446
There's not really ANY skilled work required in that at all.

>>2917556
No idea, can't go in because I have full body tattoos. I do enjoy private onsen though. And there was one onsen in Noboribetsu that allowed me in despite tattoos and that was nice too.

a chubby middle aged japanese man stared at me and furiously masturbated in the Turkish baths in spa world Osaka

>>2918446
I folded tollows mostly and cleaned up the semen from the floors. Japen needs more high tech skilled indians like me

>>2917741
Are you stalking me? How did you know that?

>>2918507
A lot of sentos are relaxing the rules on tattoos nowadays.

Been to one in one in tokyo and one in kyoto and the kyoto one was very relaxing but after getting over the idea that I'd be naked it went like this
>first time in sento in tokyo after long day
>traveling with buddy and we've had a long day walking
>we say fuck it and go
>we get there and go in, small local join near Ueno if I recall
>good reviews on google etc
>lowkey
>psyche myself up "okay we're doing this"
>turn around and friend already is walking in
>lmao okay what am I worried about
>walk in thinking nobody is going to give a fuck about me
>look up and everyone is looking at me cause i'm the only white guy and probably one of the few that come here
>oh well
>wash my ass and get in
>chilling in a nice tub
>look up
>japanese guy with the classic yakuza shoulder tats gets in tub next to me
>gives me a kinda like whatever dismissive look cause i'm obv a manlet weeb
>its cool so i chill some more
>uneventful and we return to the hotel after

overall 7/10 experience i'll do the kyoto one next

The Kyoto one isn't far from Kyoto station and is much bigger and more popular than the one I went to in Tokyo. I actually went back to it when I did a 2nd trip to Japan the next year. The first time I went was more eventful than the 2nd time so I'll tell you what happened.
>Same as before, long day of walking
>me and buddy say fuck it lets go to this one it looks good, its to the east of the station a few blocks before the river
>tons of reviews, very clearly popular with tourists
>get there, super comfy vibe
>lots of merch, good sign nobody is going to give a fuck about tourists
>go in, stash shit, wash ass
>lots of japs, 1 other white guy besides me
>very chill, standard lay out
>one tub is brown water, i see there's a giant bag in it I think its a tea bag of sorts?
>after a half hour talk to friend and ask how long he wants to stay
>behind him the other white guy is looking at me, spreads his legs apart to show off his dick
>I'm watching this out of the corner of my eye and tell my friend i'd like to leave sooner rather than later
>go hide in the steam room with some random japanese guys for 10 minutes
>jump into the cool pool and get really dizzy and we go

8/10 good enough for me to return on my own the next year and I bought a hat fun. Moral of the story is fuck old gay Australians baka gaijin who cruise sentos go to the bathhouses in the west to do that shit that's what they're for not glorious nipponese sento
When I go back to Japan I'll probably go to another one but yeah not looking to "make friends" at them

OH! one more weird thing was the buckets they have to dump water on yourself, I watched a guy walk in and dump a bunch of water from a hot tub on his dick and then wash himself and I thought that was weird but then I saw someone else do it and like I guess that's a thing? seems weird
thanks for reading my blog

I had to give the customers their requested items e.g. towel, shaver and body wash, make sure they didn't break any rules (e.g. having tattoos or going into the wrong gender's side of the bathhouse), and clean up after them. If the water was too cold I also had to add wood to the furnace. I left after a few months because the owner was too creepy. Tbh some of the customers were as well, one guy used to come in and just stand in the changing room, while a very short man pretended to be a child so he could enter the women's side. Fortunately I caught him.

NO,NO,NO.SENTO is only japanese.GAIJIN isn't welcome.Tattoo is so scared,so evil,so disgusting.

Why do I always get stairred at when I go to one of these? If it because I have darker skin?

>>2918446
Jizzmopper.

>>2918491
I am also Appalachian and the same thing happened to me, strangely enough
