Happy times at 24 Kaikan Shinjuku
I went here at 10:30pm on Monday 1/8/24 and had a great time. 10yen for the shoe locker, then it was 3900yen ($27) for entry (no vending machine, you just go to the front desk). They give you a key for your locker (same # as your shoe locker) as well as a green bag with a gown, big towel and small towel. After storing my clothes and changing, I went to the 3rd floor and spent about an hour in the bathing area. Between 15-25 men shuffled in and out, ranging in age from 20s to 50s. All types. I made eye contact with a few guys but nothing transpired. Didn’t see any action in this area. I eventually made my way to the 4th floor and saw quite a bit of action going on in the dimly lit common rooms. Dudes would stop by and watch, then continue about their business. An older naked man was asleep and snoring in the corner so that was a new experience for me. If you’re into being watched, this is the place for you. If not, there are private rooms for more money. I will definitely be going back next time I visit Japan.

Mr
Very original Japanese-style sauna. Very clean and quiet. €19 for the French is given for service and pleasure. Friday evening, there were quite a few people. Locals and foreigners. 7 floors with the elevator. We're going back today!
