Ahhhhh yes.. Yay! What a great bath house! Women, hot tub, cool tub, saunas, deck, peppermint soap ... Lovely. A superb and relaxing treat for your body and stressed-out mind! Any time I am anxiety ridden, I crave Osento as the cure!

Don't let stripping down to the bare essentials keep you from taking a dip at this fabulous local bathhouse.. The Scene
A quiet, woman-owned oasis on Valencia Street, Osento caters mainly to locals and exclusively to women (sorry, boys). Although it's a favorite among lesbians, all women are welcome here, and Osento's the perfect place for an after-work get-together.

The Services
Small but inviting, Osento offers a comfortable indoor hot tub, a scenic outdoor deck, both a dry and a wet sauna and a cold plunge pool. The sliding-scale door fee gets you in for the entire day, and you're free to leave and come back.

The Details
Hot tub (indoor), wet and dry sauna, pool, massage.

Urban bliss. Osento is the perfect escape. Tucked in the middle of the city, in an unassuming Victorian, you could easily walk right by without ever knowing what you had missed. The staff is friendly. The price is reasonable -- $10-$20 sliding scale for entrance. The hot tub is large (although it is an indoor tub). And, the saunas are relaxing, if on the small side. Osento is the spot I go to for relaxation when I can't leave the city -- it helps me get through the times that I can't make it up to Orr, Wilbur, or Harbin.

Steam, Soak, De-Stress. A special Mission hideaway for women. Soak, steam, shower under the stars, chill out on the deck, be naked just a few feet from Valencia Street. Every SF woman should know about this great de-stresser. Great place to realize that women's bodies come in such a wide range of shapes and sizes, and that all can be beautiful!
