- Angela L2 contributionsRyo San and team is absolutely the best. Sometimes I am skeptical about reviews but this time it was even better than expected. Absolutely luv it and felt so relax afterwards. I will definitely come back again when I return to Tokyo in a couple of months! If you want a great therapeutic massage after a long day of shopping, you have to come see Ryo Dan and his team!Written April 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CBV_EuropeBasel, Switzerland251 contributionsWONDERFUL!! My feet were killing me after 2 long days of work & 2 days of busy sightseeing. When I got a post-dinner appointment here after contacting them via What’sApp through the website, I was hoping it would be worth it. I am so glad I went! My feet & legs feel reborn!Written April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- smilesesqCalifornia373 contributionsMy family of 4 enjoyed a few hours at this onsen earlier this week. My youngest daughter loves hot baths/hot tubs and thought it would be fun. Yet my older daughter absolutely did not want to be naked in front of strangers. Since my younger one really wanted to try it, she did a ton of research on-line and searched for onsen within 30 minutes of where we were staying in Tokyo, with outdoor and private onsen, and well-rated. She found this onsen (which has a great website with photos and lots of English explanations of the protocol), so I made a reservation via email. I booked a multiple course lunch and a private onsen room. Regular public admission doesn't require reservations. Note that I emailed three times before receiving confirmation. Not sure what happened as they said they had emailed earlier, but nothing was in my in box or spam filter.
My older daughter used the private onsen room for one hour while the 3 of us went to the public baths (my husband was alone on the male side).
We don't speak any English but were briefly checked in by an English-speaking woman. This was after we walked in and saw rows of shoe lockers. No English signage there but we figured out from watching other guests that we had to be barefoot and store shoes there (for 100 yen per locker). I thought they would offer slippers but they didn't. I also managed to put my 10 year old's sandals in the same locker as my shoes while my husband put our 13 year old's shoes with his, thinking we'd just save 100 yen. But after we checked in, she sent me back to pay for another shoe locker as each "adult" needs their own shoe locker key on an stretchy wrist bracelet. So I put in 100 yen for an empty locker. NOTE: they return the 100 yen when you return the key, which surprised me as the coin just rolls out of the slot!
After we put our shoes away, we walked into the main building to "check in." Once the English-speaking woman let us rent towels, she left with my older daughter to take her to the private onsen. Then the rest of us were left trying to figure out where to go. I ended up following some ladies into the ladies' side while he followed some men.
I deducted a star as more guidance for non-Japanese speakers would make this an outstanding experience. Since phones are not allowed inside once folks are naked, I couldn't use Google Translate on any of the signs. I had no idea what any of them said. I also saw today, from reviews here, that others received an English brochure--we never got one. Offering more guidance to non-Japanese guests would have made this a 5 star experience.
Once inside the women's section, I looked to others and copied their actions (e.g., disrobe, store clothing/phone/purse in locker, put shoe locker key bracelet inside and just keep general locker bracelet on your wrist--I had both bracelets on until I saw others only had one bracelet--sit on stool and wash before entering any baths, splash self with lukewarm water and then cold water at the end before you leave to put on clothes again).
I enjoyed all the outdoor baths the most. The indoor baths had sliding glass floor-to-ceiling windows and bubbles (like a hot tub), but they weren't as charming as the outdoor ones. I only spent about an hour in the baths, as I knew my teen daughter only had her room for an hour. I could likely have spent 2 hours there, as it was very peaceful and relaxing. The soothing heat helped relax some tense back muscles!
Afterward, the four of has a lovely multiple course lunch in the Sakura room (which you can reserve ahead of time via email). It was visually stunning and tasty, but SO MUCH FOOD. We actually had to request an end to the meal as we couldn't even finish what was before us. I don't know how much food was left but it was way too much for even hearty American appetites!
I believe we had several beautifully composed vegetable dishes, shabu shabu (each guest had their own delightful soup basin over a flame to cook meat and vegetables into), tempura, soba, and more! The serving staff were very attentive and detail-oriented. The man kindly showed us the handy iPad interface to order beverages and call for staff.
When you leave, you scan your shoe locker bracelets at an ATM-like machine near the exit and then pay. I think our final bill was around 32,000 yen, which was a great value given the multi-course gourmet lunch for 4 (6,000 yen per person and we had 4 people so no room rental fee for the Sakura Room), private onsen for one hour (2,000 yen), general admission (1100 yen per adult on weekends/holidays, discounted price for elementary school kids of 750 yen) and 4 towel set rentals (310 yen per towel set).
I highly recommend this experience. You may be the only foreigners, but it's a special treat.Written September 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nico B2 contributionsI was looking for tattoo-friendly onsen/sento near Ueno when I came across this place. It's just a stone's throw away from Inaricho Sta., and it's not so hard to find. The place is very quaint, and there are shoe lockers outside and 100-yen lockers inside for your stuff.
They have friendly staff, but make sure you research ahead of time or ask the staff if you're a first timer (like me). I fumbled with the bath prior and had to find my way around. It's normal to be intimidated (I was!) but everybody minds their own business there. The locals are friendly, but it's much better if you already know or asked what to do ahead of time.
This is a public bath, and it's conveniently located so a lot of locals frequent here. I came here around 5 PM and there were a lot of locals who came and went during a span of an hour.
Overall, it's a good experience for a first timer. If you're not into a lot of people, better go during the opening hours. Also, try to check their website if the open air bath is open. I was lucky it was when I went there. Must try!

There was a rep who spoke English and talked about my needs and personally shopped with/for me. Not during Covid I believe you can explore the store more. But for now it’s pretty condensed.

- Agnes QActon, Massachusetts, United States1,008 contributionsWe went to this public bath practically by accident, because our apartment's water heater did not work, so the owner recommended this place, only 2 minutes away. It was a great experience. I have been in Japanese public baths before, but this was really good. The public bath is large and there were separate floors for men and women. You can pay for the basic bath, or you can also pay for towel service (we did). Soap and shampoo are provided. One has to shower and cleanse oneself completely before entering any of the public tubs (of which there were two or three, at different temperatures). The facility was very clean, the water was piping hot (but not scalding), and the receptionists very helpful (even if they did not speak English). There are lockers for storing clothes in the changing area, and a little cafe/restaurant downstairs. My family and I liked it so much that we returned to decompress after a long day walking around Tokyo!Written January 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aritreyee C2 contributionsI came across this onsen from recommendations of Japanese hostelers who were staying with me at Guesthouse fete. The onsen is very well organized, super clean and offers a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed after a long day of touristy walking around Tokyo! My only regret is I think I left one of my belongings back at the onsen by mistake. It was something very special :( I am unable to find their email ID anywhere. Would have liked to check with them for lost and found items. Anyone here who can help me with an email id?Written June 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Terry KSan Diego, CA121 contributionsI was looking for a good 50M pool for a workout in Tokyo. I have lived in Japan and am pretty familiar, but this place does have some quirks. I arrived at 9 AM but the doors did not open until 9:20, surprising but maybe another door opened earlier. I was right in front, with a bunch of senior ladies who were waiting for a huge table tennis tournament. Enter to the right side of the front and behind the ramp. There is an info desk and a swimming pro shop. You must have a swim cap to swim - you can pick it up there. You then purchase a 600 yen ticket from a machine - they can show you how to do it. That produced a card. The locker rooms are nice but you need to take off your shoes before entering. The floors are varnished wood - very nice. A guy showed me how to stick my card in the back of the door to remove the key. An auto shower will douse you on the way to the pool. I got busted for trying to swim with my Garmin watch - I guess that is a "hazard" to other swimmers. Beautiful clean pool. 10 or so people in my lane, some resting. BEWARE - if you swim too slow they will boot you out. I swam in the medium speed lane and escaped their scrutiny. Nice baths in the mens locker room with showers. Bring you own towel and soap/shampoo. Fun day. There was a sign that said they are closing for olympic preps on 1 July 18.Written March 21, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heather HMarrakech, Morocco45 contributionsI desperately wanted to visit an Onsen in Tokyo after enjoying Onsens in Kyoto and Kawaguchio. I found this small and historic Onsen or Sento online. It is situated in the Ginza region of Tokyo, a very posh shopping area - a bit like a Japanese version of London's Knightsbridge!
The tourist office near Ginza station helped me and marked the location on a map, although I still had to ask in a kimono shop to find it. It is squeezed between shops. There is no lettering outside.
First you have to take off your shoes and put them in a locker. There are instructions in English. Going into the ladies changing room you pay a very elderly Japanese woman (it was 450 yen). who sits raised up behind a glass screen - I believe she has worked there for 50 years! There appear to be bathing products for sale but I didn't want to spend any more money and English is limited. I took my own towel but body wash and hair shampoo is provided but no hair conditioner.
The changing room, where you pay the lady is small, there are lockers for which you need 100 yen (returned). The toilet is western (there are the ubiquitous toilet slippers - such a quaint Japanese custom). At this point you take your clothes off - I, personally don't have any tattoos, some onsens are not keen on them - but all jewellery etc. There were a handful of Japanese ladies there of mixed ages, I am in my fifties but there were young women (late twenties +) and a couple of ladies quite a lot older than me; slightly surreal - all undressed. A couple of the older Japanese ladies had bath hats....
The second room in the Onsen has taps along one wall as well as the two deep pools to soak in. You sit on what looks like an upturned bucket and pour water into a small washing up bowl which you pour over yourself (there are no stand up showers).
So you sit on your upturned bucket and soap yourself all over and rinse it off by tipping bowls of water over your body. You do not go into the hot tub without being thoroughly cleaned! The Japanese ladies really soap themselves. If you watch the studio Ghibli film 'My Neighbour Totoro' there is a scene where they are bathing and it shows a character washing in this way.
There are two hot baths at Komparu-yu Onsen and they are both hot, 42 degrees c. One is bubbly, one is still. I found this temperature too hot. The idea is to stay in the water a little while, get out, cool down and go in again. I went bright red all over...... It is lovely sitting up to your neck in beautiful hot water.
It is an incredibly Japanese experience. If you are happy to sit around naked with a bunch of unknown women in a 42 degree c bath, this is for you! My skin felt very smooth afterwards. This is an historic Onsen, the Japanese sometimes use the word Sento. There are two beautiful painted panels in the changing room and the bathing room. The Onsen dates from the late 19th century.
On the way out, outside in the corridor fully dressed by now a man started to chat to me. There is apparently, a famous sushi restaurant opposite the Onsen where Barak Obama ate recently and as I visited they were awaiting a dignitary (I believe the Prime Minister of Japan).... There was a welcoming party waiting outside the restaurant. Very interesting....
My husband (far too English to Onsen, there is a men's room) and my 16 year old daughter were in Uni Glo while I was in there and bought me a T shirt, Onsen trip. This hot water is so good! Too good in this case.Written August 12, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
