Check before bathing

Opening hours
Matsuyama City's 2026 listing gives 15:00–21:00, closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The prefectural bath-association page instead lists 14:00–21:00, closed Wednesdays and Saturdays, and describes a sauna and very cold bath. The profile treats the discrepancy as unresolved; verify the schedule directly. The city's ordinary-bath admission cap is ¥500; confirm the actual price on site.
Tattoo policy
The current profile does not confirm a tattoo policy; ask the bath before visiting.

How to read a bath profile
