The bathhouse (Japanese)
The bathhouse becomes accessible once the protagonist reads the book "Yoncha Wanderer," which unlocks both the bathhouse and the batting cages upon finishing. The protagonist can find it when he cleans his room in Café Leblanc.
The protagonist is able to visit the public bathhouse in Yongen-Jaya during the night, 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.
If the bathhouse is visited during rainy weather, the public bathhouse will be mostly empty, giving the protagonist the choice on whether to prolong his stay or not. If he chooses to stay, there's a chance he will be able to gain an additional point of Charm. However, if that fails, he will get dizzy and pass out on the floor: he will lose the entirety of his Charm score, giving him a single point of Guts in its place. If he decides not to prolong his stay, he will always gain the default 2 points of Charm.
In the case the protagonist visits on a Rainy Monday or Thursday, the Rainy Day scenario will become null, and he will earn bonus Charm as if it's a normal Monday or Thursday.
| Condition | Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Default | - | +Charm (♪♪) |
| Monday | - | +Charm (♪♪♪) |
| Thursday | ||
| Rainy Day | Don't prolong stay | +Charm (♪♪) |
| Prolong stay (1 of 2 outcomes) |
+Charm (♪♪♪) | |
| +Guts (♪) | ||
| Rainy Monday | Same as normal Monday | |
| Rainy Thursday | Same as normal Thursday | |
Persona 5 Royal
In Persona 5 Royal, the book required to access the bathhouse has been renamed to "Yoncha Walker 04", but the means of obtaining it are the same.
The special medicinal bath has been moved to Sundays only. Additionally, if the weather warning "Cold Wave" is in effect, the same rainy day scenario will be played. Cold Waves do not occur on Sunday. Not to be mistaken with Snowy weather.
| Condition | Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Default | - | +Charm (♪♪) |
| Sunday | - | +Charm (♪♪♪) |
| Rainy Day | Don't prolong stay | +Charm (♪♪) |
| Prolong stay (1 of 2 outcomes) |
+Charm (♪♪♪) | |
| +Guts (♪) | ||
| Rainy Sunday | Same as Normal Sunday | |
| Cold Wave Day | Don't prolong stay | +Charm (♪♪) |
| Prolong Stay (1 of 2 outcomes) |
+Charm (♪♪♪) | |
| +Guts (♪) | ||
Trivia
- The bathhouse in-game is based on the real world location of Chiyonoyu bathhouse, located in the Sangenjaya district of Tokyo's Setagaya City.
- In Persona 5 Royal, it is brought up that when Goro Akechi's mother was still alive, she would tell him to go to the bathhouse whenever she brought men home, implying she was a sex worker.
