If you don't mind bathing naked publicy (same-gender only), this is a very relaxing way to spend an evening. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairdriers, hairbrushes and various lotions are included in the entrance fee. Don your yukata (casual summer kimono) and head out to the garden, where for a bit extra you can have "Doctor fish" nibble the dead skin... more

This is part amusement park and part traditional Onsen (Japanese Hot Springs), but if you're not a stickler for an "authentic" experience, it is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. I had read in another review that someone was asked to leave (nicely) because of a tattoo, so I covered mine with fresh bandaids and nobody bothered... more

We were in Tokyo for 7 days in mid June and were planning to spend a day in Hakone to check out the onsens. Our first time in Japan, heard all about the famous onsen ritual and had to check one out. By day 3, we were behind our trip "plan", so we had to cancel our Hakone plan; but... more

While everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere is definitely interesting, one thing I was not aware of was the issue they would have with tattoos. I am American and have two smallish tattoos. One is on my left shoulder blade and the other is on my right shoulder, both... more

Oedo Onsen is a place that is different from other "hot springs" in Japan. Some Japanese reviews have said that it is more of an attraction than a place for relaxation. From the point of view of a foreigner who is new to living in Japan, I have to say that I enjoy what it has to offer. The design... more
