Rest at an Exchange Facility in a Former Public Bathhouse Where a Pine Tree Pierces the Roof
About this spot
A free tourist exchange facility created by renovating the former public bathhouse 'Matsu-no-yu' (Pine Bath) that faces Nakamachi Komise Street. The main attraction is a magnificent pine tree that stretches high into the sky, piercing through the tiled roof. This pine tree, which has walked alongside the building since the bathhouse's operating days, is a symbolic landmark of Komise Street, naturally drawing you to stop, look up, and reach for your camera to capture its unique landscape. The interior retains design elements from its bathhouse days, and with rest areas and tourist information corners, it's the perfect spot to take a break during your Komise Street stroll. While sipping tea and chatting casually with locals, you'll find yourself enchanted by the retro atmosphere—a space that lovers of vintage aesthetics cannot resist.

Several Kuroishi specialty tsuyu-yakisoba restaurants are scattered nearby, making it convenient for finding lunch.
