Public Baths in Kyoto

Public bath in Kyoto ~the day for the citron~

It is said that bath with citron “yuzuyu” has the origin in Kyoto.

The winter solstice is the shortest daylight in the year.
It is thought to be the day of the strongest Yin.
It is exactly the solstice to recover the power and fortune.
To prepare for this important day, we need to lustrate by taking Yuzu bath.
The day is December 22nd in 2015.

How about taking yuzu bath in Kyoto after long walking for sightseeing?

 


 

 

Foot bath in Arashiyama station

 

Arashiyama

Arashiyama is one of the popular sightseeing spots in Kyoto.
The hot spring ”Oncen” in Arashiyama is the new one opened from 2004.
It is thin alkaline water effective to cure neuralgia, mascular theumatism, or the weariness.

The most casual bath there is the foot bath in Arashiyama station of Keihuku line. We can take Yuzu bath in December 22nd.
Be careful if you have skin problems because citron has little stimuli, but maybe foot bath is easier to try.
