  • The Thousand Cranes Club

    brings together the first 1,000 people

    communal bathhouse open in Britain.

    204 / 1,000

    As one of the Thousand Cranes,

    you’ll follow Yū’s journey towards

    opening day through Letters from Yū

    and be automatically entered

    into our Monthly Bath giveaway.

    Most importantly, you’ll be part of the

    founding community helping make

    Britain’s first Japanese-style communal

    bathhouse possible.

    It's free to join, membership is limited to the first 1000 people.

  • A thousand folded paper cranes are said to grant a wish

  • Cranes appear in the founding legends

    of onsen across Japan,

    leading people to hidden

    hot springs by returning to

    their waters to heal.

    Yū is gathering 1,000 founding

    supporters to grant our wish,

    and lead us to the first Japanese-style

    communal bathhouse in Britain.

  • Monthly Bath

  • In anticipation of the bathhouse opening it's doors,

    each month, one member of the Thousand Cranes Club

    will receive a Japanese bathing product,

    drawn at random from the active supporters list.

    Noboribetsu Karurusu, Towada Tsuta, Nyūto, Yamashiro, Yugawara, Kishu Ryujin, Beppu and Kurokawa.

    Every active member of the Thousand Cranes Club will be entered automatically. Entries close at 11.59pm on 30 September 2026. One member will be selected at random and contacted by email. Full terms.
