I love sentos. Usually in English we say baths, public baths, or spas. I go to a spa and gym about 4 or 5 times a week. I try to work out or run or swim, sometimes even two of the three, and also take a bath in the jacuzzi, take a sauna, and dip into the freezing cold water. The whole thing, the exercise as well as the relaxation in the spa, does wonders for me(=is really good/healthy for me!!)
Also, over the years, I have met many people at the spa, so talking and socializing with the guys is also interesting, fun, and a good way to release stress. Meeting new people at the spa, which I do often, is also fun! There are many interesting and kind people out there!!!
Do you ever go to a sento or spa? How about work out? Do you go to a gym?
The below article is very informative and all about the history of sentos in Japan.
Read it if you have time:

p.s. after going to the sento at night, or after getting out of a hot spring, there is nothing better than a coldie! (=a beer) Or a cold milk, regular, coffee-flavor, is also pretty good! :)
