Lonely Planet review

Public bathing in onsen (hot springs) is a Japanese obsession, and believe it or not they've managed to find an actual hot spring 1400m below Tokyo Bay. Of course, Ō-edo Onsen is so much more than just a mere hot springs complex. Something of Disneyland meets health spa, this bathing theme park re-creates an old Japanese downtown indoors, selling old-timey foods, toys and souvenirs. Wander around in your colourful yukata and you'll fit right in. Sure it's kitschy, but what the hey…

Bathing opportunities (most separated by gender) include indoor and outdoor pools, a foot bath, a bed of hot stones and the opportunity to be buried in hot sand. Massage services are available, as are relaxation spaces in case all that pampering makes you sleepy. Bathing products and rental of towels and yukata (light cotton kimono) are included.

Note: discounts are available if you arrive late at night or early in the morning; admission prices are highest between and , and lowest between and . Visitors with tattoos will be denied admission.
