インサイダーヒント

Bring swimwear, flip-flops and a towel; some bathhouses provide towels but not always.
Book a private room in advance for quieter time and a guaranteed shower, especially on weekends.
Head up to the viewing platform by Metekhi Bridge or the upper lane for the best photos of steaming chimneys and domes.
Leave valuables in a locker or at your hotel; avoid using your phone inside steamy areas to protect it from moisture.
