The bathhouse (富士の湯, Fujinoyu)? is a location and mechanic in Persona 5.

Profile[]
The bathhouse becomes accessible once the protagonist reads the book "Yoncha Wanderer," which unlocks both the bathhouse and the Batting Cage 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 chance 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.

Persona 5 Royal[]
In Persona 5 Royal, 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.

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.
