My friends in foreign countries sometimes says that they’d like to go to Public Bath(Sentō) and Hot spring. It seems that they’re interested in its uniqueness; they’ve never shared a single large bath with others and they also pay attention to the long v history. (It’s date back to the 6th century.) I also love Sentō as well as Hot spring, and I used to go with my friends. In order to take a bath, there’re some rules. Recently some rules are changed, however still people with tattoos are banned from most Sentō and Hot Springs. It’s Japanese culture and custom, so if you have tattoos and eager to take a bath in Sentō, you have to choose the one that tatooed people are allowed to enter. 

Here’s a list of tattoo friendly Sentō in Tokyo (near famous tourist place, Asakusa).

蛇骨湯（Jakotsu-yu）
