We are pleased to announce the opening of “HAMANOYU Edo-Yu”, a new compact public bathhouse designed and supervised by Kubo Tsushima Architects, on Monday, April 21, 2025, in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

Offering just the right warmth, the right amount of space, and a perfectly measured sense of time, this small-scale super sento (a modern style of large public bath facility unique to Japan) delivers a new kind of bathing experience that cannot be found at home. Thoughtfully designed to embrace comfort without excess, it brings together the essence of communal relaxation in the heart of the city.

Located within “iiyu HAMACHO”, a 10-story mixed-use building that combines a super sento on the 1st to 3rd floors and a 28-unit residential complex above, the project aims to create a place of rest and connection for a diverse range of people—from local residents and office workers to neighborhood visitors. It aspires to become a new cultural hub of comfort, communication, and gentle liveliness within the community.
