Summer is great, but the stickiness, sweat and stink that comes with the heat is not—however, when it's scorching hot outside and you could really use a bath to freshen up on the go, the Bathhouse Map Tokyo app will point you in the right direction.
With the free iOS app, you'll be able to locate bath houses by a particular location or just whatever is closest to you. Once you've narrowed down your choices, the app shows the business hours, prices and holiday schedule. On top of this, the app adds an element of fun, so that you earn virtual stamps for every bath house that's visited and compete with other users to become the best bather in Japan.
