The Bathhouse is a location and mechanic in Persona 5.
Profile
Edit
The bathhouse becomes accessible once the protagonist the book "Yoncha Wanderer", which unlocks both the bathhouse and the Batting Cage upon finishing. The protagonist can find it when they clean their room.
The protagonist is able to visit the public bathhouse in Yongen-Jaya and bathe for 2 points of Charm by default. Mondays and Thursdays grant a special medicinal bath that allow for an additional point of Charm.
On Rainy Days, the public bathhouse will be mostly empty, giving the protagonist the choice on whether to prolong their stay or not. If they choose to stay, there's a chance they will be able to gain an additional point of Charm. However, if that chance fails, they will get dizzy and pass out on the floor: they will lose the entirety of their Charm score, giving them a single point of Guts in its place. If they decide not to prolong their stay, they will gain 2 points of Charm by default.
In the case the protagonist visits on a Rainy Monday or Thursday, the Rainy Day scenario will become null, and they will earn bonus Charm as if it's a normal Monday or Thursday.

TriviaEdit
- In Persona 5 Royal, it is revealed that when Goro Akechi's mother was still around, she would tell him to go to the Bathhouse before she goes to "take men to her home," which is implied to have been prostitution.
- The bathhouse in-game is based on the real world location of Chiyonoyu bathhouse , located in the Sangenjaya district of Tokyo's Setagaya City. Sangenjaya provides the in-game inspiration for Yongen-Jaya.
