Review:
- Water Quality 3/5
Normal Osaka city water, but good quality. - Baths and Sauna 3/5
The design of the main bath is nice and curvy and the deep area is very nice, but the jets are weak and pushed into a cramped corner. The sauna is nice, but the time I went it wasn't as hot as I remembered it being. The rotenbro baths are both small and a little shallow. - Building Design 5/5
Done in a exposed concrete style with emphasis on curves the design of Enmei-yu makes it worth a trip here. The layout is basic bandai style with separate entrances for men and women. In the wide bright changing room the lockers curve in and out as they direct you to the entrance for the baths. The toilet is located in the front end of the changing room off of an little concrete alcove. Everything seems like it was the day it was opened. Of course it's shows signs of age, but it's not dirty like some places get. - Atmosphere-Other 4/5
The person in the bandai (the front reception area) is always cheerful and the costumers seem very happy. I had a nice chat with a fellow gaijin here the first time I came. Everyone seems to be enjoying their own time. And the price, at only ¥350 well below the local ¥410 price, you can't make a better choice for a quick bath near Umeda. - Total 15/20
Notes:
The holiday information might be wrong.
The name, Enmei 延命, means longevity.
They also sell some sento-sodas. See the Ofuroya-san Shokaijyo home page for more info. In Japanese.
