Yesterday, six people participated in the “Tokyo Sento running group” event and ran Tenoyane and Ueno area together.
Participants are five Japanese from Peatix (peetex), one student from Indonesian from Meetup (meat up).
When we met with the participants at the station and arrived at Nippori Saito-Yu which is the venue, I found a happy discovery!
The Flag of “Sentosan runner warm welcome” is flapping in front of the Sento!
Flag of “Sento runner welcome”
Because “Sento Run” is still less familiar to the public, I have experienced a bit sad experience at a Sento.
For example, They wrote “welcomes runners” to HP with a certain public bath, but in fact I was refused by them.
This HP was not made by this public bath, maybe it was created by the union and it seems that cooperation with the union was not taken.
However, it seems that the fact that such a Flag began circulating in the world is evidence that Sentō runners are beginning to be generally recognized.
I am doing activities to convey the wonder of “Sento running” to the world, so this Flag was very encouraging me.
“Sento running” is not only an individual running, but also a cultural activity leading to the revitalization of the community as runners can explore the city and discover new things.
I would like to continue to focus on the activities of the “Tokyo Sento Running Group” in the future so that we can share the splendor of the Sento running with more runners.
“Sento run” refers to a running style that puts luggage in the japanese public bath and enjoying running, of course, after running, you can relax with a bath by taking a shower.
This group aims to slow and relax “Sento run” with the public baths in various places in Tokyo.
Therefore, it may be a bit unsatisfactory event for runner who aims to shorten the time at marathon contest, please understand that point in advance.
The manager is not good at English, but I’d like to spread the goodness of the japanese public bath as well as possible to the world, please do not hesitate to join foreigners and Japanese people!
Saito-yu is a public bath located in Nippori, Arakawa Ward.
The room renewed in 2015 is clean, fashionable and relaxing.
There are 5 baths in all, high concentration artificial carbonated spring, large bathtub equipped with jet · sleeping bath · electric bath, hot water, hot water bath, outdoor bath.
White hot water of open-air bath contains plenty of micro unit bubbles generated by equipment, and is a silky bath that has massage effect, removes waste products.
So Saito-yu which can experience this special baths is really recommended.
