Sento are public bathhouses which have been a part of Japanese culture for centuries. It may be worlds away from a lot of the latest Japanese culture usually featured on Tokyo Girl’s Update, but there have been some signs of it regaining popularity among the youth in Japan. With the cooperation of TOKYO SENTO, we have begun our journey into this unique and comforting world at one of the most well known sento in Tokyo, Kita-Senju’s Takarayu. (Read the article vol.1, and vol.2)
These photos are the result of a collaboration between model/designer Kanako Hiramatsu and photographer and Miss iD 2016 semifinalist mitfo.
As we introduced in the article vol.1, one of the highlights of Takarayu is the lovely Japanese-style garden, Nihon Teien. The plants are well maintained and there is even a small pond full of carp swimming about, for an added touch of elegance. Adding to the experience, for the article vol.2 we introduced more inside of the sento ; the bathtubs, washing areas, dressing rooms, and resting areas much larger than the average sento! This vol.3 is the final volume of “-Takarayu ×Kanako Hiramatsu”series and we will show you more photos of Kanako’s portraits inside and out of the sento!
How was the SENTO GIRL series vol.1~3? We hope you enjoy it and will continue our effort to appeal the attraction of Japanese sento and girls’ photo’s collaborations. Stay tuned for the next series!

Been working in girls’ fashion magazines for a long time and am now the chief editor of Tokyo Girls’ Update. I have more expertise in Japanese teen fashion than anyone else (probably)! I’m a huge fan of the Revolutionary Girl Utena and Bakemonogatari animes.
