BEFORE
/AFTER

OKURA-YU

Established in 1966, this was a renovation of a traditional wood-frame public bath.
The roof was re-tiled and some supports replaced to increase earthquake resistance.
We strove for a bath space design featuring both freshness and nostalgia
while maintaining the special qualities of a typical Kanto-style public bath.




YUKKO Morioka

Renovation after around 20 years of a three-story “kenko land” or  a large complex with hot spring facilities.
The challenge was how far the outlook of spa could be changed within a limited budget and without relocating the bath.
The roof over part of the bathroom was removed, creating a new open air bath.






FUKUNO-YU

Fuku no yu was established in 1972.
The property, located on the ground floor of an office building, was renovated for the first time in around 25 years.
The long-established format featuring an attendant’s booth at the entrance, was converted to a reception desk format.
At night, the entrance is bathed in a magical light, with lighting as an important element.
People have said that the bath house has been reborn into one that young people find it easy to get to know.
