The facility states that guests with tattoos—including tattoo stickers or body paint—may not enter. Contact the facility before visiting if you need clarification.

What is included?
Regular admission covers the large indoor bath and natural open-air baths. Shampoo, conditioner and body soap are provided. Towels are not included: a small original towel costs ¥300 and a rental towel set costs ¥500. Razors and toothbrushes are also sold.
The hot-stone spa package includes bath admission, a towel set, stone-spa mat and spa clothing. It costs ¥1,780 on weekdays or ¥1,980 on weekends/holidays for adults. Children below elementary-school age cannot use it, and it cannot be purchased without bath admission.
How to use a Japanese public bath
- Remove shoes and store your belongings.
- Undress fully in the changing room; swimsuits are not worn.
- Wash and rinse your body before entering a bath.
- Keep your towel and hair out of the bathwater.
- Dry off lightly before returning to the changing room.
Children aged seven or older should use the bath for their gender under the facility’s rule. A private bath is useful for families who want a room of their own, but it does not override the admission policy.
Access from Hakata and Tenjin
From Hakata Station, bus 99 toward Hakata Futo takes about 20 minutes. From the Solaria Stage area in Tenjin, bus 90 takes about eight minutes. Nakasu-Kawabata subway station is about an 18-minute walk. Bus times and traffic vary, especially on event days.
Drivers should use Bayside Parking 1 or 2. The municipal Chikko car park is not a partner car park. Check the current validation terms before leaving the bath.
Who will enjoy it?
Namiha no Yu works well for a half-day break, a sauna visit, recovery after sightseeing or a private family bath. It is not a practical choice for a group of ten or more: the official site says groups of ten or more, including tours, are not accepted for bathing or the hot-stone spa.
