Those who present their Toei one-day bus pass or bus and rail pass at special participating public baths can also receive an original sticker.

This winter, come ride a Toei Bus and warm up in a nice public bath!

Toei Bus was founded on January 18, 1924 in response to the Great Kanto Earthquake. At the same time, many public baths were also being built to provide services to local residents recovering from the earthquake, often featuring the luxurious and robust 'miyazukuri' architectural style, similar to shrines, which became symbolic of public baths of this time.
Toei is joined in this Sento no Susume ("Public Bath Recommendation") project by Beams Co., Ltd (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yo Shitara), and Cow Brand Soap Kyoshinsha Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Joto-ku, Osaka, President and CEO: Teiji Miyazaki), sharing the enjoyment of local public baths and developing a variety of content.
