The onsen is one thing that immediately comes to mind when one thinks of Japan, and it’s no mystery why. In addition to appearing in most tourism-related media, they are excellent places to relax. With so much seismic activity, from small sento bathhouses to entire onsen towns, sento and onsen dot the archipelago. For all that, though, Tokyo doesn’t have many hot spring options. So, unless you have the time to take a mini-vacation to an onsen town or feel like trying out one of the many sento, which function more as a place to get clean than truly relax, then your options are limited. This is where Tokyo’s “Super Sento” come in. The Super Sento functions as an upgrade to the traditional sento while also bringing some of the ambiance of those famous hot spring towns such as Atami or Hakone. We’ve compiled a few options where you can soak to your heart’s content and experience the onsen in all of its glory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manyo Club Onsen in Yokohama<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

While not technically in Tokyo, Manyo Club Onsen is an excellent addition to this list. Conveniently located in the Minato-Mirai area of Yokohama, the Manyo Club is directly across the street from Yokohama’s iconic Ferris Wheel. With so many other attractions nearby, it is also a great place to relax after visiting Chinatown or the Red Brick Warehouse. It carries all the amenities of a fine countryside hot springs hotel but with dramatic views of the Yokohama seaside. There is even an attached hotel if you want to stay a night or two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The main draw, of course, is the onsen. The water is trucked from springs in Atami and Yugawara, and there are a variety of pools to soak your stress away. You have options from the usual, including huge indoor tubs and various rooftop outdoor pools overlooking the Minato Mirai district. There are even private tubs, rented by the hour for “private time” with family or significant other.<\/p>\n

In addition to the onsen, there are several other amenities as well:<\/p>\n
