Want to freshen up before dinner? Funaoka Onsen, on the corner of Sembon and Imadegawa, several blocks north of Kitano Tenman-gu, was established in 1923. The spacious, communal bathing area has been renovated, but the changing rooms still have their original wood-relief ceilings and beautiful tiles. There are gender-separate indoor baths, as well as two outdoor baths—one made of cedar and one of rock—that are open to men and women on alternate days. Towels, soap, and shampoo are for sale.
