Check before bathing

Opening hours
Matsuyama City's 2026 listing gives 16:00–21:00 with irregular closing days. The bath-association page instead lists closures on the 6th, 16th and 26th of each month. The profile flags this discrepancy and recommends checking before visiting. The city's ordinary-bath admission cap is ¥500; confirm the actual charge at the bath.
Tattoo policy
The current profile does not confirm a tattoo policy; ask the bath before visiting.
