Sauna Tokyo

Top bathhouse experience. Such a well-done operation. You pay by the hour, but the setup makes you forget time exists. Loved the separate sauna rooms and the three cold pools. My nervous system is still thanking me.

Ive been to saunas/ steam rooms etc all over the world ,but found this very confusing as im aware of the cultural differences but I felt awkward having to.place a big sticker on me for having tattoo's!! And pay an extra 500yen. It wasn't a relaxing experience as too afraid of breaking rules ( as others have mentioned too). I left after 45 mins when my small towel was taken cos I'd left it in a place I shouldn't have unknowingly whilst in a hot tub. Total cost was 2700 yen or $27 A$. Cheaper if I'd taken my Tattoo's off ! A costly and sadly unfriendly experience.

This place is amazing, it has it all. Different onsens, one bath with a big TV playing Japanese TV, saunas, steambaths, cold baths, and a lovely room to sleep naked with a virtual sunset on a shoji-paper wall. Best part is the clothed area afterwards where you can lie down on sleeping chairs, with TV screens, unlimited assortment of books and manga, a Japanese style dining area and smoking room. The bring your food and drinks to your sleeping chairs if you’d like! I highly recommend this place to sweat/sleep your hangover out after a night drinking in Tokyo! I’m totally revived and I felt so bad.. also very friendly towards tattoo’s. They allow tattoos without any covers, all you have to do is wear a sticker on your left chest warning other guest!

Sauna Tokyo is an incredible experience. Three different saunas (Steam, Dry, and Extra Dry) and around 5 different cooling baths makes for a great session. Make sure you go for the hourly session when the clock clicks over!!! This was one of the best and weirdest things I have been a part of. A sauna party with music and Japanese guys running all over the place. Elite.

Was really impressed with this sauna experience in Akasaka. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into and I was totally blown away by all of the amazing facilities at this location. They had a ton of cool clothing as well and I bought a bunch of stuff to take back home to Chicago.
