Located about an eight-minute walk north of either the Toei or JR Sugamo Station, this hidden hot spring retreat features a pure Japanese-style building and garden, with a serene, modern Japanese interior that unfolds within.

The facility uses naturally sourced hot spring water drawn from 1,800 meters underground, rich in natural minerals. Classified as an iodine-containing sodium-chloride strong saline spring, the water takes on a beautiful amber hue when poured into the baths. Known as a bijin no yu (beautifying hot spring), it is highly regarded for its warming and moisturizing effects, making it popular for its skin-friendly benefits.

Facilities include an open-air bath where you can enjoy the soothing amber-colored water and fresh outdoor air, a mild-temperature indoor hinoki bath, a jet bath, a spacious stadium-style sauna, and a stone sauna, offering a full range of relaxing options. The on-site restaurant also provides an extensive food and drink menu, allowing guests to satisfy their appetite after a refreshing soak.

To ensure guests can unwind peacefully, the facility has established etiquette guidelines, which are available on its official website. Visitors are encouraged to review these guidelines before using the baths, so everyone can enjoy a comfortable, calming experience away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Reviews

Some reviews are AI-translated.

  • I thought this place was super chill! The overall vibe is really relaxing—not like those super touristy spots. It's quieter, clean, and has a nice Japanese feel to it.

    They've got outdoor hot springs, spa pools, saunas, and more. There's even a little beauty area for women. My skin felt so smooth after soaking—totally relaxing. The lounge area is comfy too, with spots to grab a drink or a snack.

    Getting here is pretty convenient. It's about a 10-minute walk from Sugamo or Komagome Station. I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a place to unwind in Tokyo!
