Sentinels

A person or thing that watches or guards a place or thing to prevent or detect any breach or intruder, especially a military or naval officer in charge of a defensive weapon or a group of people guarding someone or something.

Sento

Sentō, alternatively spelled as sento, is a type of public bath in Japan, and more specifically a type of bath house which can be found in many Japanese cities. In the past, sentō (common bath house or public bath) was typically a shared bathing space where males and females bathed separately but in the same building, with separate bath areas for men and women. In modern times, some sentō baths have become co-ed (open to both men and women), but this is not as common as the traditional single-sex bathing areas. Many modern sentō are designed with areas of private bathing so customers can have single-sex bathing time, usually without any topless bathing going on that other sex can be exposed to. Typically, sentō are communal bathing places where bathers do not need to undress in the bathtub. Patrons enter resting rooms and shower off before bathing in the larger public tub. They often have various temperature baths (labeled hot, warm, etc.), and some have added extra amenities like towel lockers for valuables, saunas, cold baths, and more generally water recirculated and chlorine treatment less than in pools swim areas but this depends totally on the sentō.
