Minatogawa Yu

The owner's overflowing love of public baths

Yutonamisha provides business succession and consulting services for public baths (sento) under the concept of "preserving Japan's sentos." The third-generation manager, who used to frequent Minatogawa Yu during his student days, joined Yutonamisha to prevent the closure of his beloved Minatogawayu. Through his efforts to continue the operation of Minatogawayu, he has contributed to the current sento culture. The sento was reopened on August 11, 2023, to make it a place where both the current and future generations can enjoy today's sento culture. Near the reception area, there is a standing drink counter where you can enjoy alcoholic beverages such as local beer and snacks. One of the manager's recommendations is to experience the refreshing feeling of the wind when stepping out after rejuvenating at Minatogawayu and passing through the shop curtain.
