Japanese Baths - Tuesday, 24 June @ 7:30pm ish

Hi guys,
I think I'll be heading over to the Japanese Bathhouse on the night of Tuesday, 24 June around 7:30pm or so. I've never go during the week so I'm keen to see what it's like at that time. Would be nice to meet some of you if you are around.
Ciao for now,Marko

Just to clarify for those who haven't been to the Japanese Bathhouse before; there are 2 now in Melbourne. The original one, which is the one I'm referring to, is in Collingwood, a few streets away from Hoddle St. You can read more about it here:

The other Japanese Bathhouse is just off Bourke St at the top end (closer to Spring St) of the city. It's called Onsen Ma. It, too, is quite nice inside but has a different atmosphere to the one in Collingwood. You can read more about it here:

PS. The Collingwood Japanese Bathhouse isn't a huge place so you need to book to go there. That's what they suggest anyway. I think Onsen Ma is less busy at times so you don't have to book.

just a heads up the one in collingwood is way better. The staff are much more friendly. They don't charge you if you end up staying over an hour (I mean really, it's hard to tell the time in a place like that especially when they dont even provide clocks). The newer one is much nicer aesthetically, however I found the actual bathing area is a little too big and it has a high ceiling so heat escapes easily.
