船岡温泉Funaoka Onsen is Kyoto's best-known public bath.
Located in northern Kyoto, it opened in 1923.
Compared, perhaps, to the modern super sento public baths - multi-story, multi-bath facilities that also have dining - that have in places replaced the neighborhood bath, Funaoka does not have the variety of baths.
However, it more than makes up for that in atmosphere. It does have several types of baths, but its real draw is the carvings in the dressing rooms.
The neighborhood too has a funky, off-beat vibe.
