Welcome to Our Bathhouse

A woman in a green bathing cap sits in a bath with her head appearing over the edge. The side of the bath is tiled with pale yellow sides, with white tiles in the background.

Ayako grew up in one of Tokyo’s oldest bathhouses, where her father served neighbors for decades. Now, as the city modernizes and gathering places vanish, she fights to keep the bathhouse and its small community alive.
