Odaiba Ōedo-Onsen Monogatari

Great place to relax. Female only bathing area very quiet and lots of different areas to relax. Personal favourite was the bubble beds. Being from the UK and not used to process it would be good to note you need to remove robe and underwear in the female only locker room just before you enter the bathing room, no towels to be taken in either. Make sure when you enter any of the baths you use the water fountain to wash your body. It is a very respectful environment. No need for swimwear. If you get too hot there is a cold bath next to saunas. I paid extra for the heated sauna. It's a great thing to do if you want a quiet area to lie down and read/sleep. Food was nice, nothing special although lots of variety. Please note when you leave there may well be a large queue to pay, if you are catching public transport ensure you leave enough time. I needed at least 30mins.

We love this place much. Great place for relaxing and to cure the tiredness after long travel around the town. Checking in was easy. I get to wear my first yukata, we get to choose the design. This place has a lot of hot bath which able to accommodate large crowd of customer. However hot bath temperature is too high for me. Foot soak is fun and temperature was good. We paid an extra amount for the salt rock sauna, it was uncomfortable at first because sleeping on the hard rock, but after a while, I can definitely feel that my body is lighten with toxin.. After the hot bath, they provide facilities for shower and drying which fully equipped. Besides, they have a great variety of food and the price is much cheaper than outside. They are delicious and fresh. You will never get hungry in there. Besides, they do provide free water and green tea, you will never get dehydrated. They also have a large rest area, with massage chair and television. I feel relaxed and asleep. Checkout was easy too. Entrance ticket fees is definitely worth the price which you can the entire day without noticing.

Came here to soak in the hot springs and have dinner. The hot springs were really nice, although crowded -- admission is cheaper in the evening, which is when I went, so there were many people. There was a large selection of food and the atmosphere was really nice. The festival-like games were neat but definitely geared more towards children. Would definitely recommend for families with children.

An amazing experience. A great hot spring theme park if you are in Tokyo. The springs are refreshing and there is enough space to accommodate the many people there. There are also massages, thought they are fairly pricey. Many great food options in the main area, all very delicious and not too expensive. You also wear a traditional clothing. A great way to relax and have fun at the same time! Highly recommended!

This is a very cool place to spend an afternoon! Plenty of food selections, Japanese festival games, and the beer is pretty good, too! There's an outdoor rocky stream walk, they claim that it's an excellent foot massage; if you have tender feet like me, it will be more torturous than therapeutic! The baths are pretty standard fare as far as onsen go, but they are nice all the same. The baths are mostly indoor, but there are a couple of outdoor soaking pools.

This is a great place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle from the city. Once you enter, you can spend the whole day here and use the facilities as much as you want. There are different baths which provide different benefits with water pumped from natural underground volcanic springs. There are various food stalls and the prices are not too expensive. There's also an area with reclining chairs to lie down and relax/sleep if you want to take a break from the spa/baths.

An onsen themed park with many food, drinks and games stalls built into the park. It has many pools and an outdoor area for foot spa. The food here is great and portion is good too. You can spend half a day here and be well rested and entertained. Good for groups and couples to come. The spa is sodium chloride water and there are 4 types of pool. The less hot, the more hot, the cold and the outdoors. There is a steam sauna and a jacuzzi in there too. You can spend an hour in there to recover from your tiredness and stress. After that you can enjoy yourselves with the many restaurants and games stalls around. The staff here are all English friendly and very hospitable. A 5 star experience for me.

I really enjoyed this place. You wear yukata while inside and everything is nicely decorated so you feel like in the movie about Japan. I got a back massage which felt really good. I love sauna and hot baths, so I spend good 3 hours just in the pools. I didn’t try any food, but 2 beers at the end were the perfect finish. If your flight is early in the morning, you can stay here over night. They have extra lockets (400 yen) for bigger luggage. (Not for the extra massive though).

We had a great time at this museum. I truly did not know what to expect. My sister planned this outing while we visited Japan. The trip of a lifetime and this outing was certainly a plus. We definitely recommend it. This was so much fun!

They are closed for good as March 2023. I used to come here and I loved the place...a lot good memories..

Ahh Japanese summer festivals. Always a place of teenage romance and childhood innocence in animes and dramas. A beautiful night sky, colourful shops with snacks galore, boys and girls in Yukata. Now take all of that and squish it under a roof in the middle of the city and throw in some artificial hot springs. Gimmicky, maybe a bit kitschy, but Oedo Onsen Monogatari sure evokes that same child-like wonder and happiness. I am a tourist and I approve this place. Upon paying ¥3500, you get your very own Yukata, slippers, and entry into the main hall, or Edo Town. This is where you feel like you're living your summer festival fantasy with a simulated starry sky and lanterns strung across the ceiling. Not the most authentic experience, but I was definitely awe-struck and thought it was so very beautiful. All types of food shops line the side. They even have carnival games for that real festival feel. The main attraction of Onsen Monogatari is of course...the onsen. Or the hot spring. Dubbed a "hot spring theme park", you get that same skin scorching sensation and proposed health benefits without needing to travel out of the city. The bathing area is huge and there are several indoor and outdoor pools at varying temperatures. Overall, a fantastic introduction into the world of Japanese public bathing culture where nudity is mandatory and tattoos are forbidden. With hot springs being the main event, relaxation is very much the theme here. Other activities you can enjoy are massages, facials, saunas, and a giant room filled with high tech, super comfortable recliners. Don't worry if you accidentally fall asleep in one of those chairs (I did), Onsen Monogatari is open 22 hours a day from 11am to 9am the next morning. Sure, if you're coming to Japan for a truly "authentic" experience, Onsen Monogatari might not fulfill that need. But if you're open to new experiences and just want some fun, you have to come here. Plus, it's the ultimate place to relax and recharge. Kick your feet up, soak them good, and feel your aches and worries melt away in the steamy mineral water. You deserve it, fellow weary traveler. (75/100) - 2018

So sad to hear that this location has closed. Came here many times to enjoy the spas, baths and relaxing atmosphere! Loved the Disneyland-like feel of the dining and shopping areas. Sure the Edo look and feel was campy, but it was so well executed that it made it fun and unique. Although they have other locations throughout Japan, this one was the very best!

It's not authentic but if you are a tourist who is in need of squeezing everything in tight schedule(instead of making a trip to Hakone/Kinugawa), this is a perfect alternative. It is a bit pricey - ¥3500 a person. Considering its premium location, size, facility, maintenance and operation cost, pricing is very fair. What's interesting and super useful is the bracelet with barcode. As you would be one step away from dipping in the bath, you have nothing but yukata on. But you still want a beer and what do you do!? Just scan the barcode on your bracelet, mate. Then after you enjoy food, drink and bath, you get your bill on your way out. Pretty convenient, yeh? I guess this is 4 stars worth to tourists. But for locals? Maybe 3 stars.

After a lengthy stay in Tōkyō, coming across this onsen was a GOD SEND. Came in about 12:30pm on a Sunday... and I'm still here at 8:30pm typing this Yelp review because I love it so much. Sure, I was initially afraid because I saw a bagillion tour buses outside and many of the lockers were taken... but I was able to do everything I wanted to: reserved full body and foot massage, optional hot stone sauna, ninja dart throwing, magnet shopping, yakisoba noodle eating, crepe eating, public bathing (twice), and more! Just as previous reviews have described, this feels like an onsen theme park with everything your heart desires from soft serve ice cream to free water and hot green tea. It was my first time experiencing a Japanese bath aka you have to strip to nothing. Aka you have to get naked. But then again, everyone else is, too, so it's not a big deal at all. Men and women are separated for these baths. The sauna near the public bath section was amazing. Super hot, but it felt good to sweat everything out. Luckily, right after I just took a shower and they provided the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Accessible by train, just a few minutes walk away from the Telecom Station. It was easy to find with our handy dandy Google maps. What I am trying to say is THIS PLACE IS AMAZING and I feel amazing. Thank youuuu for existing!!!!!!

This was such a great experience. When you first walk in, you are to take off your shoes and given a locker with a key. Keep that key because you will need it to access your shoes when you leave. Also be sure to wear socks. According to what I was told, it's etiquette to wear socks. Then you will be directed to a line where you get access to a wrist band. I completely forgot if they took our passports at this point. This event was just too exciting to remember. But I know they hold something and when you return your wrist band, thats when you make your payment. WRIST BAND You wear a wrist band to scan all the services in the facility. There are foods, mini restaurants, vendors, souvenir shops, games, variety of onsen services and more. Instead of carrying your wallet around, you can just be free of that trouble and just scan your wrist band. At the end of your day, you just go to the front desk area and make your full payment. After you get your wrist band, you are directed to choose a variety of Yukata. A Yukata is like a Kimono except it is a lot more casual. It is usually a synthetic or cotton fabric that is usually worn on casual events, summer or spring wear. Overall it is not as extravagant as a Kimono. But there are a variety to choose from for men, women and children. Then you are to go to the womens or mens locker room and you can store your belongings into a locker. Once you are dressed into your Yukata, you are ready to roam around the facility. SO MUCH TO DO There is just so much to do. Inside the main area, you will see that the set up looks similar to a Japanese Festival. The room is large with lots of vendors and restaurants. It looks almost like Old Japan too. There are also tables where you and your family can sit down and eat. There are also games to play. We even tried strawberry shaved ice or a snow shaved frozen dessert. Delicious. There are also massaging chairs to lay on. Places that you can take like photo opportunities. When you head outside, there is an Onsen like pool where you can soak your legs/feet in. Inside this area at the bottom of the water are grooved liked surface. It's suppose to be like accupressure for the feet. When you go towards the back of this pool area, you can try their fish therapy. (Be sure to go to my youtube video to watch it.) HIGHLIGHT - FISH THERAPY The highlight for me is the fish therapy. Honestly it was hard for me to bear it because it was very ticklish. Basically these fishes called Garra Rufa Fish or Turkish Toothless Carp will eat away your dead skin off of your feet. You are told not to stand in that pool for reasons not to kill their fish. So you just soak your feet and gently get up when you are done. In the UK and Asia it is actually quite known to do this type of feet therapy. In Asia and UK they might sometimes call it Fish Pedicure too. I have to say after the fish therapy, my feet was smooth and clean feeling. I love it! GAMES Simone tried this water ball catching game. Im not even sure if that is what it is called. If you watch Anime, you will see it. I thought it was cool to have been brought with Anime and finally get to see it in real life. Basically you get a miniature net and you have to scoop as many balls from a pool of water. Gather as many and you get a prize. You have to gather many before your net dissolves. If it dissolves you can no longer collect the balls. (see video if you want to see a sample.) TOURIST If you are a tourist in Tokyo, I suggest you try this place. It's really a fun experience for family or even with your significant other. It's not like those fancy Ryokan, but if you are press for time, this is a good way to fill that space for the experience. Its really a cool place to go to.

Tokyo Odiaba Oedo Onsen is fun way to dress up, relax, and enjoy hot springs in a theme-park like atmosphere. It doesn't replace a day trip to Hakone where you're likely surrounded by gorgeous nature and a more authentic onsen experience. However, Odiaba Onsen does have several advantages: 1. You can choose the length of stay, ranging from hours to half days, to even multiple days (they have some hotel rooms for $$$) 2. They have lots of restaurant options here, and while there's a markup the quality is decent. We had the soba noodles with rice topped with salmon and salmon roe. For dessert, we finally got to try a red bean-matcha ice cream crepe. 3. Carnival games with prizes and arcade games for younger folks or us older folks who want to feel young :) 4. Relaxation rooms where folks can sleep, relax, play on their phone, etc. Yes the complex even has free wifi. The baths are separated by men's and women's of course. They'll have several indoor baths of varying temperatures, including a really cold one. Also a hot sauna. They have several outdoor, open-air baths too. Overall, its worth adding to your Tokyo itinerary if you don't have plans for Hakone. TIPS - I was originally unsure of the locker situation before coming here, but its very simple and secure. You manage three keys during your stay, but only one at a time. 1. First, leave your shoes at the entrance locker. Collect the shoe key. Socks are okay at this point. 2. You get a changing room key attached to your wrist with a bar code to track purchases. Store your backpacks, shoe key, wallet, purse and clothing into the locker number matching your changing room key. Underneath your yukata should be underwear and cell phone only. 99% of customers go barefoot; I saw a handful wear socks. At this point you can wander throughout the property to take pictures, eat, drink, get massages, sleep, or play games. 3. If or when you decide to use the baths, you pick a bath key to wear on the wrist. Store everything else - yukata, underwear, phone, large drying towel, and changing room key into the bath locker. Enjoy the baths and no need to be modest since everybody else is NEKKID, LOL!

Why 5 stars? Because we desperately need these in America! --- --- --- My wife and I like to have these fantasy conversations where we pretend like we're going to become business owners and open a place that would fulfill a void near our house. We definitely have absolutely nothing like this onsen anywhere near us, and I'm not sure if there's one even within 5 states of our house. Things you can do here: receive any type of massage you could hope for, sit in any type of hot tub you could ever want and eat/drink some really amazing food/drink. One strange note: if you have tattoos, you are not allowed to come to the onsen. And if you're looking to get in one of the hot tub/spas, you have to get completely naked, so there's no hiding those tats! But we are ink-free, so we proceeded on in. The first thing on the agenda was to take our shoes off and place them in a locker. This is a pretty normal thing to do in Asian culture, but they are extremely strict here with shoes never touching the floor inside, beyond the initial entrance. You can tell that the floor is incredibly clean too, as it feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. Note: I have not felt many or any baby butts, but they do appear to be pretty smooth. Once we put our shoes away, we were given robes and asked to change into them. We went into our separate locker rooms and got into our outfits. It was actually quite lovely to be rocking nothing but a robe and walking through the onsen. We need more places in America where it's appropriate and totally normal to be in robe-only. The first thing on our to-do list was to get massages. These massages were absolutely amazing - I wish that they never would have ended! The only strange thing was that all of the massage tables were in a giant room, so it was not exactly the private situation that we were accustomed to. Still, the massage itself was so wonderful that it made us forget all about the fact that we were in a wide-open room with plenty of light in it. I don't think anyone else ended up coming in here for a massage while ours were happening, so it ended up kind of being a private room after all. But if at capacity, there could have been like 30+ massages happening simultaneously. Then we entered the spa area, separately. I say separately because these are specifically designated for men or women and are fully nude. Once you disrobe, the only thing you are allowed to have with you is a small hand towel, which you can use to hold in front of your bits and pieces if you're shy. I was a little weirded out by it, but when you see everyone else walking around in their birthday suits, it actually makes you feel like everyone is going to be starring at you if you're actually not just walking around free like the rest of the people. Imagine the 10-12 fanciest, largest hot tubs you've ever seen, all in one room - those were the surroundings. It was all quite peaceful and relaxing. I ended up trying out each different type of bath - some of them were fairly still, while others were super bubbly with powerful jets. They even had once with micro bubbles, and I'm still not sure exactly what that means, but it was neat. Lastly, we walked around the food court and after much deliberation, we chose our respective spots. I opted for a bibimbap bowl from a Korean stall, which was really solid. My wife loved here food, as well. We ended with some absolutely delicious shaved ice. Unfortunately, right around the time that we arrived at the onsen, I began to experience some symptoms of a stomach infection that would actually end up plaguing me for the next ten days. At the time, I was hoping that it was just something that would quickly get out of my system, but it continued to worsen the longer we stayed at the onsen. It's a shame because my wife was in heaven the entire time and I loved it myself, despite my symptoms getting more and more severe. Even with that, I could appreciate how amazing this place was and would definitely return if I find myself in Tokyo again. I will say - it's definitely not a cheap experience, but still a must-do!

If you have limited time and want to experience an onsen in Tokyo then this is the perfect place. Come early because it gets extra crowded at the entrance line in the afternoon. You get a wristband for your shoe locker and another for the locker inside for your clothes. Make sure not to lose either of these. The wristband will be used to scan to make purchases. After you drop off your shoes, you'll need to choose a yukata to wear inside. There is a bunch of different food available for purchase inside so don't bother eating in advanced. They have some arcade games available for you to play for a fee. Fish therapy, indoor and outdoor onsen is also available. There is an outdoor foot onsen area for both genders. The majority of the onsens will be in the separate sex areas and require you to be nude to enter. The decor in the food village area is super cute and resembles an outdoor night village scene.

If you're looking for a place to dress up, relax and eat, Odaiba Oedo Onsen is the perfect place for you! You can easily spend hours or even the entire day at this Onsen because they provide so many services for you and you really won't be bored here. How it works: as soon as you walk in, take off your shoes and get a smaller locker with a key. Then you line up and they'll give you a bracelet with a bar code which is how you'll pay for food, drink and spa services. Don't lose it or they'll charge you! Then you line up for your yukata, which they have many different styles for you to choose from, and you head into the separate male and female changing rooms. If you plan to go into the actual Onsen, they'll also have additional lockers for your yukata and undergarments. Otherwise, I think for women, keeping your undergarments on while you walk around is totally fine. After you're done changing, you can head on outside to the beautifully decorated traditional "theme park." There are games you can play for prizes, arcade games, food and even alcohol that you can purchase easily by scanning your bracelet. If you choose to take a dip in the onsen before, that's probably better. It can be very intimidating being completed naked in the changing and bath areas, but they do give you a courtesy towel and you scrub down before you enter the bath. Plus, no one really cares and they're not looking anyways. Do not dip the towels into the bath! This is a big no no! They don't allow any tattoos here and will probably kick you out if they find out you have one, which they will since it is a bath house. But, if you just want to enjoy the other activities, it's pretty easy to cover your tattoo up with a band-aid, if it's small enough. Just be careful! You don't wanna spend all that money and pay for admission then be asked to leave. They seem to have a lot of different food options from soba noodles, sushi, shabu shabu and bento boxes. There's also an extensive bar and many of the vendors sell ice cold beer. Once you're done eating, take a stroll outside in the garden where you can dip your feet in the warm water and chat with friends. Some places have acupuncture rocks which are great for your circulation and your health. It does hurt though so be careful. Nearby the have fish foot massages where little fishies nibble on your feet, I didn't prefer this at all.. Once you're done eating, drinking and cleansing, there are areas where you can take a nap and watch TV. Honestly, I can see myself spending the entire day here relaxing. This place really is the whole package. I'm so glad I got to visit! If you do come, plan your trip accordingly because after a certain time, certain trains and buses don't run so it might be hard getting out of this area. I do hope you give this place a chance, it's a paradise here and so relaxing!

The Spa: 13 bathhouses (outdoor & indoor). The Service: Besides bathhouses, you can also pay extra for other treatment (e.g. massage, facial, etc). There are also outdoor foot spa, it is beautiful at night when different color lighting. There are no restaurants nearby but don't worry, there are different varieties of food, beverage, dessert vendors on site. If you are coming with kids, there is also an arcade to keep the kids happy too!! This is absolutely a hot spring "theme" park. All ages can enjoy a day here! Subway: Telecom Center station on Yurikamome Line (U09). There is private shuttle waiting outside the subway station to take you to the spa. The shuttle is FREE!! You don't need reservation. There are shuttles bringing you back to different subway stations, check with the driver first.

The onsen experience can seem intimidating and unfamiliar, but Oedo Onsen Monogatari in Odaiba makes the entire process so accessible even for foreign visitors. After stepping in and making your way to the check-in counter, each person is given a wristband with a locker number, and you leave all your clothes/belongings in the locker room and change into a yukata. Then, stepping out, you find yourself in the middle of a recreation of an Edo village with souvenir shops, games, food, and more! The food options here are quite diverse--everything from izakaya pub food to ramen, soba, udon, sushi, and dessert. There's also a slightly more formal Japanese restaurant, which I chose to dine at on my most recent visit. I ordered a chanko nabe, a hotpot with seafood, chicken, pork, and plenty of vegetables like napa cabbage, mushrooms, and onion, all cooked at the table in a dashi broth. I also had a variety set meal consisting of rice, miso soup, tempura, and three little dishes of sashimi, grilled fish, and beef with vegetables. Every component of this variety set was amazing and had such nice yet subtle flavor. Surprisingly, the prices for everything here were quite reasonable and on par with what you'd find outside the onsen! I'd definitely recommend a visit for anyone looking to experience a Japanese onsen in a friendly, accessible, and fun environment! You don't even have to go into the actual baths to have a great time here (though of course you should!)--it's enough to just take in the atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful setting and nice food!

This place is LIT. Bro. Definitely a great introduction to onsen/hotsprings for first-timers like me and my sister. Worth visiting when you're in Tokyo. Well, here's the download. You take off your shoes before you enter the front entrance. You take off your shoes everywhere in Japan. It's part of the culture. Then you find an empty locker and put your shoes in it. Get the keys. Don't lose it. It's an auto $25 (USD). How did I know? lol.. no naming here, but I know someone who had to pay. Pay the admission fee and get your Yukata! I was in total awe once I got inside the "amusement park". It's like after I changed into my Yukata, I became part of the Edo period. Everyone was wearing one. The ambiance was very real. Once you're in, you can do whatever you want. Eat. Get fish therapy (quite an experience). Eat some more. Get a massage. Get fully (FULLY) naked in hotsprings. I wasn't comfortable being fully naked around so many strangers. But aye. they're doing it. Why not? I had the best time of my life. I was in nirvana. Disclosure: no tattoos allowed. If you're caught with one, you get kicked out with no refund. I am sure people have snuck in ;) But honestly, don't. It's not worth wasting 60 something dollars.

Bittersweet last visit to the Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari, since it's going to close in September 2021. Pretty impressive facility, especially for a foreigner. It's obviously super fake and artificial, but so well executed and organized. We started with an early dinner in the food court, which is full of options for all tastes. The quality is standard Japanese food court quality, so decent, but obviously not excellent. I got a cheese katsu curry and I enjoyed it, even if it was piping hot from being presumably heated in the microwave. Got a Cremia soft serve for dessert and I enjoyed that too. Then the kids played a bit at the super expensive kingyo sukui stations. After that we moved to the outside ashiyu pools, which were all lit up with blu led lights in the late afternoon darkness. Lots of great picture opportunities. Finally we went to the onsen area, a massive area with a lot of onsen pools, both inside and outside (rotenburo). I tried a few then decided to go in the sauna, which was extremely hot, 90C. We finished right at closure time, which gave us the opportunity to experience yet another long line in japan, the check out line. Unbelievable! But at least it was super fast. Anyway, if you happen to be in Tokyo before September 2021, you should visit this place.

A bit overrated I must say-.- I attempted to come here a year ago on another Japan trip, however the day I chose happened to be their once a year cleaning day...yep what luck! Anyway, I was determined to check out the place at least once so...tada!!! Located on the "island" Odaiba, this hot spring/amusement park is not too hard to get to from the city. I took one train from Shinjuku station. They have a shuttle right outside the train station waiting to cart you away (unless you want to walk 23 mins). Once you arrive, you stow your shoes in a locker then go to the register to get your KEY. This key is IMPORTANT...its like a real key/credit card all in one. You pay for everything with the key. Next you select a yukata then change. Once you walk into the main room, you can do some shopping, play amusement games or at the arcade, get a massage for a charge, eat at one of the many booths (korean, japanese, desserts..etc), hang out in the outdoor foot pond or pay for fish to eat your feet crust-.- Tbh I wasn't too impressed with the sashimi bowl I bought...given that they're right next to the ocean I was hoping for some tastier uni and roe :( Anyway, bring your kids. They can run wild here. LOTS of areas for them to spend your money at. Come with friends so you can relax and eat...or even sleep here at night. Come around the time they open to avoid massive amounts of tourists :) TIP: NO TATTOOS! I have a mini one which I covered up with a bandaid but people with gigantic ones may not be so lucky.

After several jam packed days of exploring, we decided to take it slow and check out this onsen theme park. I watched many vlogs about this place before hand, and didn't set expectations too high since I knew it'd be a bit of a tourist trap. But it ended up being an amazing time! As soon as you enter, you're ushered in and there's an area where you take off and lock your shoes away in a locker. You then get wristlets that you get scanned to do anything that costs additional money while you are inside the "park." So if you wanted to buy an ice cream, you'd scan your wristlet. Before heading in, you get to pick out a yukata to wear! My personal favorite part! There were several to choose from, and you can be matching your partner (there are matching male and female yukatas!) Once inside, you feel like you've been transported to a whole 'nother place! There's food stalls, little festival games to play, an outdoor area, eating area and a spa area. You can even spend the night there. One of the eating areas is transformed into a sleeping area after a certain time in the evening. We ended up not doing any hot springs, but went to the outdoor area where they had a "walk through really painful rocks" and a little area where you can have fish eat your feet for an additional fee. We grabbed some grub, but it wasn't anything amazing and it was definitely overpriced (theme park prices). We managed to catch a show while eating, they have several shows throughout the day. It was really quite a lot of fun and re-energizing if you have the time to check it out!

日本語は英語の下にあります。 A must visit if you're in Tokyo! This is a hot springs amusement park and it totally felt like I was walking in a festival, yukata and all. Booths, games, food court, relaxation rooms, and of course baths! They have foot baths outside as well as fish therapy baths (at extra cost). I've been to Korean and Western bathhouses back home, but Ooedo definitely takes the cake for its festive atmosphere and many activities. For public bathhouse first timers, here's the gist of it. You put your shoes in the lobby lockers before checking in to get your locker bracelet key and robes. You keep your key with you at all times and it's used as your tab for purchases. You pay for everything when you check out. After checking in, what you do next is up to you! You can either enjoy the baths first or the facilities first, but I personally like doing the former before I eat and play. When changing into the yukata, you leave your underwear on. If you're going to the baths, then everything comes off and you have to shower before getting in. I'm not sure if there are hot spring amusement parks like this throughout Japan, but I definitely haven't seen anything like it yet stateside. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo! お台場に温泉テーマパーク！祭りのような温泉であり超楽しいです。ブース、ゲーム、フードコート、リクライニングルーム、そしてもちろん温泉があります。外に足湯やフィッシュセラピーがあります。すべての施設はウエブサイトに。 アメリカのスパと韓国のスパとくらべて、「大江戸」の方が好きです。にぎやかだし、たくさんやる事があるし。日本には温泉テーマパークがたくさんあるかな？確かにアメリカにはこういうのスパがないと思います。東京にいるならぜひ「大江戸」に行ってください！

Wonderful super resort! Japanese Bath house on a grand scale! Located near Tokyo Harbour and 2020 Olympics. All new subway and transportation connections. 1. Check in your shoes and get your key. Don't lose your key! 2. Next room disrobe and put on your chosen yukata. 3. Eat and drink or go bathing area with your birthday suit and wash up and enjoy the multiple baths and saunas. Wonderful time for the family Enjoyed a wonderful acrobatic show as well!

"This place is like Las Vegas! It's dark inside so you never know what time it is. There's lots of food options available and you don't hold on to your wallet, so you don't know how much you're spending until you leave. And you see lots of naked people at the onsen part" - my friend I thought this onsen was pretty relaxing and had a nice time there. It was a great break to the 40 miles I walked in the past 4 days. I liked the decor inside and appreciated the multiple hot springs options they had - outdoor, indoor, super cold. Getting to the water fountain is a bit inconvenient to stay hydrated. The lockers are convenient and there's lots of food options. They also have games and a tiny shop if you're interested in that.

Get ready to get BUTT NEKKID. If you're in Japan, you HAVE to try out an onsen at least once or it won't be a "true" Japan experience. Japanese onsens are different from hot spring places where I'm from. Usually we have our swimsuit on when we go to hot springs spas but at onsens, you go in naked (no tattoos, they will kick you out if you have one). My bf was definitely weirded out at first but he got used to it quickly and we had a bunch of fun here. I've had Tokyo Odaiba Oedo Onsen on my list for a while and after we were finished eating at Tsukiji Market, we hopped on a train to here. Once you walk in, take off your shoes and go to the counter to check in and get your robes (pay at the end of your visit). They will give you a wristband/key that you will use to open your locker with and scan when you want to buy merch and food. Change into your robes and head on in! Main hall: it's so cute! It's like you stepped into the Edo era! There are a bunch of stalls with food (korean food, ramen, ice cream, sushi, alcohol, tons of stalls), gift shops, and there are games as well. Outside springs: It was rather hot the day we went so stepping on the stones outside burned a little but it's nothing compared to the stones you walk on in the water outside. Frickin hurts. It's supposed to be therapeutic and bring more blood flow to your feet but maybe i'm a wimp and my pain tolerance is 0 but ouch. It's still worth a try though. We also went to the fish therapy pool (extra monies) and sat there for about 15 minutes. If you haven't tried fish therapy, I'd recommend checking it out! A bunch of little fish come and eat the dead skin cells off your feet and it feels like they're tickling you! Inside springs: men and women have their separate hot springs. Once you go in, you strip down to your birthday suit and leave everything inside a little locker and head on in. There are a ton of pools to choose from and there are even more in the garden area. I personally like the ones outside in the little wooden tubs and the milky looking one. After you're done soaking, you can head to the little shower stalls and rinse yourself down. They'll provide shampoo and body wash. Once you're done with that, head back in and change back into your robes. Once you're ready to go, change into your normal clothes and head to the lobby to pay. You give them your wristband and they give you a receipt with all the charges you racked up there (fish spa, food, alcohol, games, gift shop) and you can pay with credit card or cash. Overall this place is definitely a super fun experience to try out and it's not as intimidating as other onsens!

You must come here if you're in Tokyo!!! Best onsen I've ever visited. Staff is super helpful and welcoming to tourists! The inside is such spectacular in terms of it's cleanliness, vibe, and overall feel. Lots of food options, souvenirs, and games to keep you busy. Relaxation room is amazing! And they give you your own personal, traditional, and very comfortable kimono to wear throughout your stay. Very much worth the price of admission!

Two words: RELAXATION PARADISE. If you ever wanted to visit Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, Odaiba Oedo comes perfectly close to that magical experience. You MUST visit here! Every single tourist must go to Tokyo Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari. Have to. Must go. One of my favorite experiences in Japan! If you're a Newbie to hot springs like me, Odaiba Oedo Onsen is the perfect place to ease into the hot spring culture. This is tourist-friendly, English-speaking, clean, fun hot springs amusement indoor park. Great for families, couples, and soloists. Definitely read the general advice/instructions from other Yelpers. It helped me greatly with what to exactly expect and my trip went super smoothly. Expect to spend at least half a day here! It's worth every dollar and every second. ..::TIPS TIPS TIPS::.. + Take lots lots lots lots of pictures! The place is wonderfully gorgeous and Japaneseque. I got some of my best pictures right here ;) + You'll have to put your shoes in a locker and keep your shoe locker key. Toss that key inside your main locker inside the women/men's locker room. + Make sure to wear your numbered wristband the whole time. It'l basically your $$/credit. + Don't be shy about not wearing any bras/undershirts (or maybe underwear?) underneath the yukata (Japanese bathrobe) that they provide for you. People do not wear shoes or flip flops inside the entire indoor facility either. The floor is freaking spotless and clean. ================================ ++ Itinerary Recommendation ++ (1) Check out the shops and the outdoor river/garden first. If you want to do massages or fish therapy, you need to make a scheduled appointment. (2) Once you are ready, enter the hot springs prep area. You will get another small locker and big/small towel for yourself. This is where everyone gets butt naked! Young, old, fat, skinny, tall short people are going to be robed, partially-robed, or birthday suit. Pick a small locker and strip down and place your yukata inside with your big towel. You are only allowed to bring a small towel at most. No PHONE usage allowed! (Duh) (3) Inside the hot springs. Make sure to shower/rinse off before and after. I would recommend checking the outdoor hot springs first. I loved sitting inside the little wooden tubs and the manmade rock pools. Super cool! Inside was more of a hot bathhouse and there are cold pool, sauna, and steam rooms for you to enjoy. It is strictly separated by male and female hot springs. So if you got family and friends, make sure to schedule a time to meet up afterwards. (4) After hot spring, check out the food court. There is literally everything Japanese - udon, soba, yakisoba, sushi, desserts, etc. I chowed down on the yakisoba and ice cream #yummy There are also games and activities for you to enjoy! I ended playing a few arcade games and snagged a couple of kawaii prizes. Btw the crane game is fair here ;) (5) Head upstairs to the Rest Area. It is literally a place where people sleep in super comfy padded solo couches. There's a TV stand for each one if you'd like. But I just plopped in my earphones and dozed away for an hour. (6) Afterwards, you can rinse and repeat or check out their other extra services. Payment at the door only covers the hot springs, rest room, and free usage of their amenities. Otherwise, food, activities, souvenirs, massage, foot fish therapy, etc. all cost extra. It's totally worth it 100%! If you're not traveling to Kyoto or visiting a real hot spring, this is the luxury upgrade of the city's version of hot spring! ENJOY!

Great onsen experience if you're visiting Tokyo. It's also great for families since there are games and restaurants inside. They also offer massages, fish therapy, and more for extra charge. There is a free shuttle that picks up from specific stations such as Shinjuku and Shinagawa that you can use. Otherwise, buying a ticket for public transportation isn't too bad either. A big pro is that they give you a wristband with a barcode and you scan that anytime you want to buy something and you pay everything at the end so you don't have to worry about carrying your wallet around. The main con to this is that somehow my wristband was charged an extra 600 yen for stuff we didn't buy. When checking out, I had to find an English-speaking worker to help us. Thankfully, they refunded us right away but I still wonder how those extra charges snuck onto our bill. Looking at the time stamps, it was charged in between our actual charges. Overall, we paid over 12000 yen for a nice spa day for 2 people. I suggest asking the workers what price they are charging you each time and ask for the receipt when you are checking out to make sure your charges are correct. Also it's cheaper to come after 6pm and on weekdays.

Oedo Onsen Monogatari, located in Odaiba, provides a fabulous relaxing onsen experience that I highly recommend you try if you visit Tokyo. I've been here twice when visiting Tokyo, and had a wonderful experience both times. To get to the onsen, I recommend taking the monorail and getting off at Telecom Center Station. From there it's just about a block away until you reach the front entrance. When you enter, you are asked to take off your shoes and put them in a small locker. Then you walk up the front desk, and they will give you a wristband with a key to the indoor locker. The wristband serves another purpose: it is your means of purchasing food and goods in the onsen - all you need to do in swipe the barcode attached on the wristband (then you pay the total when you leave). After picking the wristband, next you go up to the yukata counter to pick up a robe and belt which you will wear inside the onsen. Then, head to the locker room to change into the attire and walk into the indoor area, which is filled with shops, food stands, and entertainment stalls. They also have countless tables where you can sit and eat, as well as a tatami section if you want to enjoy it in a Japanese experience. If you want to take a dip in the onsen, head to the bath area, which is separated by gender. Before you enter the baths, there is another changing room where you can undress/dress your yukata before entering/leaving the onsen. The onsen has many indoor and outdoor pools, shower areas, and spas, perfect for an hour or two of relaxation. Outside of the bath areas, they also have vending machine containing various flavors of milk - a fantastic post-relaxation drink. The food stalls have a wide selection of options. My friends and I ordered a yakisoba, chicken karaage, and giant takoyaki ball to share, all of which were tasty, and it was the perfect amount for a light lunch. But they also have ramen options, sushi options, shaved ice, basically everything! If you want a bit of alcohol, I definitely recommend one stand that has a selection of fruity wines; I tried the yuzu and plum wines and both were absolutely spectacular! The entrance fee for the onsen was about ¥2600 on a weekday afternoon (I think it's slightly less for evening, but more crowded). Including lunch and drinks, came out to about ¥4000, which was a good price for the 3 hours of relaxation and fun I had at the onsen. They also have additional spas, massage, and therapy options which you can pay more for. Highly, highly recommended!

This place is a great place to relax and unwind in Japan, especially for those visiting from out of the country! From wearing a yukata and walking around barefoot to taking a dip in the gender-specific hot springs in your birthday suit, the Tokyo Odaiba Oedo Onsen is a quintessential Japanese hot spring experience. You can easily spend an entire day relaxing indoors or dipping your feet in the co-Ed hot water foot bath or playing arcade games or eating delicious foods/desserts or getting piss drunk and taking nap in the resting area!!! Visiting here was the highlight of my Tokyo trip. If you are visiting Tokyo/odaiba area, this is a MUST!!!

Japan loves their theme parks, to the point that there is actually even a Onsen them park! We actually walked our butts here from the shopping in Daiba, but hey we're on vacation, might as well get a good work out. You leave your shoes at the entrance and you make your way in. From there you pay your fee and get to enjoy the world of hot baths and make new friends of random strangers! Overall, if you like bathhouses, then you need to make your way here. Simple as that.

We spent about 4 hours here. It's a great way to relax after touring Tokyo. I have a small ankle tattoo. Prior to coming here, I did research on onsens and found that many places don't allow patrons who have tattoos due to its association with Japanese gangs. Yakuza. I bought some waterproof bandaid and covered it right up. Nobody gave me any issue. I also made sure that the robe that I selected was long enough to cover my ankles.

5/5. I would definitely go back. American tourist perspective. Ambience and presentation is good. The service is fast and friendly. We spent a few hours there. The food is pretty good, but not the best in Japan. We stayed in Shinjuku and took trains. There's a stop within walking distance. When you arrive, you have to put your shoes in a locker. You get these wrist bands that you use to pay for food and services. Then you go in and pick your robe. There is men's and women's changing room. Then you finally get to go "in." There's an out door area where you can walk in foot deep water on rocks. There's a fish therapy pond for an extra charge. That was fun! I recommend it if you're not too ticklish. There's a spa. We got the highest level massage package, which was pricey, but very good. There is a boys/men's and girls/women's hot spring if you want to wash yourself off. They have towels, shampoo, q-tips, etc in the hot spring locker room. Make you're comfortable with adult and child nudity at the hot spring. But this part is optional. While there's a lot to do, you'll be spending a lot of time just laying around talking with your companions or resting your mind. Overall, I highly recommend it and I would go back.

Oedo Onsen Monogatari is not your typical onsen experience, but rather an onsen theme park of sorts. This is one hot spring that is very accommodating for tourists, and although quite pricey, a must-do for folks staying in the Tokyo area. Located on Odaiba, it is a bit out of the way, and you would need to take a bike, bus, or tram to that corner of Odaiba. It's also nice because they pretty much provide everything for you. Here's a quick step by step for when you are there: 1) take off your shoes and put it in a cubby 2) get a locker key for the dressing room 3) select a yukata and obi (belt) before the dressing room 4) go to dressing room and change into yukata/obi (can keep underwear on underneath); place bags/valuables in locker in dressing room as there is another bathing dressing room before the actual baths 5) go through the common area and head to the bathing area 6) grab one small towel and a large towel inside, strip down and put yukata, underwear, and large towel into locker, bringing the modesty towel into the bathing area 7) enjoy the hot spring baths/sauna (mind rules that are posted in different languages in the locker room) 8) after bathing feel free to relax, eat, get a massage, and play games in the common area in yukata 9) when finished, head back to dressing room, change back into regular clothes, and head back to the entrance to pay It is a bit pricey, but with various different things to do that get charged on your wristband so you can pay at the end, it's quite fun. Plan to spend at least 2.5 hours here! Also, keep in mind that it gets CROWDED on weekends, which makes the baths slightly less enjoyable. Protip: one of the best times to go was after a night out or clubbing, and then coming here at 3 or 4am, bathing, and knocking out in the rest area with TV/couches (if you can find a space). They close around 8am the next morning, and I believe there's an extra "overnight" charge, but trains/buses start up before 8am, so you can start your day fresh! I've definitely done that on more than one occasion!

A unique experience I so happily indulged in on this trip and one I want to do all over again when I find myself in Tokyo next. This Onsen (hot spring) is located in Odaiba, the man-made island, so expect to see plenty of tourists in this establishment. After a day of shopping in the nearby Diver City Mall, your tired feet and body will thank you if you end your day here. Here's what you need to know: 1. Take off your shoes and store it in a locker to the left of the entrance. 2. Check in and get a wristband with a bar code which acts as your locker key and credit card while inside the onsen. Do not lose this. You pay when you exit. 3. Pick your yukata (robe and belt) then head on over to the changing room where you'll find your locker. Check your wristband for your locker number. 4. Store all your belongings in your locker as well as your clothes, wearing only the robe with your underwear still on. Instructions on how to wear the robe are inside the locker rooms. Bring your phone with you so you can take photos in the common area. 5. Walk out to the common area where you'll see a plethora of shops, restaurants, and arcade. This is where you can mingle with your friends of the opposite sex while all of you are in Japanese robes. Great photo ops! 6. Decide what you want to do: massage chairs and relaxation rooms are on the 2nd floor, foot spas are outside including a pond with fish that eat your dead skin, private massage services are available for scheduling, etc. Take note that most if not all have an extra charge. Basic fee only covers the use of the robe, lockers, and bath. 7. If you're ready to do the bath (male and female separate), as you walk in, grab a towel and undress completely, leaving everything you have on you inside a locker. Wear your locker key as a bracelet so you don't lose it. 8. Now once you walk inside, don't be bashful, and prepare to see everyone completely nude :) As is Japanese culture, you are to clean yourself first, meaning take a shower in one of the open stalls you find to the right of the pools. Shampoo, conditioner, facial soap, and body soap are all provided for. 9. When completely rinsed, enjoy any of the hot pools indoor and outdoor. They also have a steam bath and dry sauna, as well as a cold pool to close off the pores when you're done. Remember to keep your hair and tiny towel out of the water. Best way is to tie it around your head as is the norm which you'll see when you're there. 10. Relax and take it all in!! I'm impressed with how clean the amenities are and how everything you could possibly need are all provided for such as a sterilized hair brush, toothbrush which activates the toothpaste when wet, cotton buds, slippers when in the restroom, water and tea dispensers, etc. I also like that it's open to everyone of all ages catering even to children. Some may find that a turn-off but if you are travelling with family, that's awesome. Yes, they get to be in yukatas as well! Super adorable! For those not interested in doing the bath, staying in the common area to eat and just hang is fine, too. However, you still pay the entrance fee of ¥2,072 for adults and children 4-11 are ¥1,058. P.S. Anyone with tattoos are not allowed to use the bath.

Looking for the Japanese onsen playground of your dreams, but don't want to leave Tokyo? Oedo-Onsen Monogatari is perfect for you. You'll first change into a colorful yukata provided to you, and then enter a picturesque little "town square" barefoot. There's shops, food stalls, a tatami table area, free water/tea dispensers, carnival games, rest areas, massages (for a fee), an outdoor foot spa, some skill crane and arcade machines, and the main attraction - the onsen, or traditional Japanese hot springs. After stripping off your yukata and your underwear in a second locker room, you'll be given fresh towels with which you can clean yourself entirely (and preserve your modesty!) before joining the other bathers in one of 8-9 different pools, including micro-bubble, sodium chloride, and outdoor onsen. I walked around the whole place first to admire everything and take pictures, then downed a custard crepe before having a soak in the onsen. (Yes, I refuse to believe you can't eat before getting into the water.) M. and I shared a yakitori plate and okonomiyaki for dinner - both reasonably priced - and then we relaxed in the rest area for a bit with our matcha-swirl soft serve before going back for a second and final dip. It's crowded but never feels oppressive - the pre-onsen locker room is probably the densest area, but the common areas and onsen itself were very maneuverable on the Saturday night that we went. Food orders were freshly prepared and ready for pickup about 10-15 minutes after payment, which is tabulated via bar-coded wristbands and paid at the end of your visit. So, is it a "traditional" onsen experience? No. But having been to several around Japan, I can say that OOM doesn't shy away too much from custom, and it's probably more family-friendly and affordable than a stay at a high-end ryokan. It's quite accessible for English-, Chinese-, and Korean-speakers, yet the majority of visitors are still Japanese; that gives it a bit more authenticity in my eyes! I can see how the base price of $26-30 per adult (which doesn't include food or any extra spa treatments) can be a bit steep, but if you make use of the Voyagin discount (about half-price; full-day access but only for foreigners) or the evening discount admission (after 6 pm), you can bump it down a lot. And though it's a bit of a trek to get here - most likely you'll be taking the subway to Toyosu and then transferring to the elevated Yurikamome line - it's a wonderful place to spend your time and relax, if you have a spare afternoon or evening in Tokyo.

One of my favorite parts of Tokyo! Sometimes you need a mini vacation from your vacation. This is the perfect place to give your feet a break from all the walking and sightseeing. I came here with 4 of my girlfriends, and we all had a relaxing time that we so needed. Here's a step-by-step guide. Step 1: Take off your shoes, and place them in the lobby lockers. Step 2: Stand in line to pay the entrance fee (about $6 cheaper if you come after 6:00pm). You will receive a key that you place on your wrist at all times. You pay for everything inside the onsen (all food, facilities, souvenirs) by scanning this wrist key. Then you pay your final tab as you leave the onsen. Step 3: Pick your yukada (4 choices for men, 5 choices for women). Step 4: Go to the changing rooms and put on the yukada. You may keep your underwear on. Step 5: Eat at the food court area and take pictures. It's super picturesque. (Very Instagrammable!) The food isn't phenomenal, but it's good enough to make me happy. Also, this is optional, but I recommend that you book a massage. Your onsen will not feel complete without a massage! I think I paid $25 for 30 min. Step 6: Explore the gorgeous outdoor area. Skip the fish therapy thing - it did absolutely nothing for my feet. It was fun, but not worth it. Step 7: When you're ready, go back to the changing room and take off your underwear. Then go to the baths lobby, where you are given 1 big towel and 1 small towel. You must strip completely naked if you enter the baths. Shower before using the baths, and tie your hair up so it does not contaminate the water. You are only allowed to bring that 1 small towel into the bath. If you're shy, this is enough to cover up the frontal area, but you're going to have to deal with your bootie being bare. Enjoy! TIP: They do not allow people with tattoos inside the onsen. I think it's okay if you have small ones here and there, but nothing huge.

This place was amazing!!!! There are very few natural spring onsens around Tokyo and since it was my first time in Tokyo I wanted to experience one. The food court, the beer option, the charging with the bracelet was pretty convenient and awesome. Also it was my first time in an onsen and that was a much...different experience, one you can't find in The States, so I really enjoyed my time here. We came here after we came back from Disney Sea and it was such a relaxing time. I would definitely come back here if I was back in Tokyo.

Wow , what an experience. I was very hesitant to visit the bath house but we ended coming here in the end. Bath house are a very common thing in Japan. When you first arrive you will have a place to lock your shoes away. You will be walking around barefoot from here onward. You then check in and you are given a bracelet that you will use to scan everything that you buy in the area. You then proceed to pick up your robe and change. You will be wearing only your underwear and the robe for the rest of the evening unless you are in the bath area where you will be naked ! There's plenty of activities to do inside from eating to massages and games. I enjoyed the facilities but I have to admit it was rather weird to be in a bath house fully naked. You will be given a small wash cloth about 6 inches wide to carry around in the bath house. You can definitely tell who's not Japanese in here as the "foreigners" really value their small little cloth ! LOL. It was a great one time experience for me. I might come back next time but I doubt I'll experience the bath area again due to personal preferences. A few things to note , don't lose your bracelet as it will give someone else the opportunity to buy things with it. There's no cash transaction inside the building. Every purchase is done by scanning your bracelet and the tab is then settled when you leave. Also the bracelet has your locker number where you store your clothing and valuable so it's a really bad idea if you lose it. It was fun visit and energizing after a few days of heavy walking all over Tokyo. Just a nice relaxing day. You can get to here via a Shuttle. If you leave later in the night make sure you check the shuttle times or else you will be stuck with a big taxi fare.

Located in Odaiba and a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle in the city. We purchased the tickets in advance with discount (we used Klook) that we redeemed at Narita airport. All extra food or service charges are recorded with a wristband and paid at the end, we did not pay any extra. At first I was a bit afraid of not following the customs, but they have very clear instructions in English along the way. It was a fun experience, walking around the space that simulated Edo era. There are arcades, food vendors, and games for kids. Onsen was a highlight, soaking in a relaxed environment with different baths and spas. No need to bring anything, as they had thought everything out and provided all shower essentials onsite. It was just a bit crowded on a Monday afternoon and got more packed later on, weekends would probably be not as calm. The shuttles are great perks, it was not hard to get on and off following their shuttle instructions online. The schedule is not so frequent except for the last JR stop at Tokyo Teleport station, so planning ahead is recommended. I saw a mix of foreigners and Japanese speakers, it is a place I will be back!

9/28: The best layover of my life! :) We were feeling pretty icky and knowing that we still have a long flight home makes things a bit better with a stopover at this place. We thought we were going to have issues making our way here but it really wasn't bad at all. From the airport we went to the information center purchase a day ticket for the train, got directions and the way we go. We arrived and it's not far from the train stop at all. Once we arrived however we were a bit confused on what to do. Do we take off our shoes first or walk through? We figured out you have to take off your shoes first put it in the locker and line up for someone to assist at the counter. I have to say this place is pretty pricey. But it's all worth it. We check in and got a bracelet. The bracelet is for charging purposes as well. We walked to an area where we are asked to pick out a yukata. It is included in the price. Once we pick out our fashion wear it was time to go into the locker room. Separate areas for Women and Men. I walked in and the key has the number to my locker. So I go to the locker and was lucky to see that there was a picture on the wall with instructions on how to wear this attire. I was glad it was up there. After fiddling through making a bow I walked towards the entrance to the onsen. I was a bit flabbergasted. I had no idea what to expect. I looked up the closes onsen to the airport and read something about everything is located there.... But didn't think too much about it. I just thought it was an Onsen, but dang it was full of stuff to do, eat, and drink. Similar to a small festival. It was a bit overwhelming at first because should I take a picture or walk around or should I get something to eat first or should we go outside, or what's in that room? So many questions so...hahaha First thing first was we walked around, there was free water and tea dispensers which was nice. There was little games here and there, it was more for kids. It was fun to see people play it tho. There was little vendor restaurants throughout the place. We were checking out what they were selling. Oooh definitely will have to get green tea soft serve later. Then we discovered an area where you can get massages. It was a bit pricey for us so we skipped that. Walked upstairs and well there was a quiet area. Lazy boy seats with tv and it was nap time. I definitely needed to take a nap. Felt so good. They have massage chairs there but you will have to bring change or money for change. Well after our nap we went outside, warm pool water ankle deep. There's an area for those fish to suck on your feet to get the dead skins out, but that cost money so we opt out. It was a nice relaxing day. Seems like everything cost money. After that it was time to check out the Onsen what we really came here for. If you haven't been here before it's like Korean Spas. Naked. Yes so you go in the onsen area and they will give you a towel. Make sure to please clean yourself first before going into one the pool areas. I love the atmosphere. Outside was very tranquil. Naked bodies everywhere but no one cared. I definitely had a great time, be careful, it's not recommended to stay in hot water for a long time. Make sure to cool off once in awhile before going to the next warm/hot pool. Feels good once you're in. Overall my experience was great. I could go on forever about this place, but I'm going to stop for now. Love it! I think it's great for coming for the first time. YAY!

BUYER BEWARE: Tourist trap for sure! DONT LET photos of the "food village" fool you. Make sure you read everything, including the fine print. This place absolutely does not allow tattoos. If you're looking to save on hotels the last night before a flight that is past 2AM, I recommend you to go to a hotel! You will be charged extra, nearly the entrance fee. It will be as expensive as or even more expensive than going to a hotel in a tourist-y area after adding up the cost of everything. You have to pay to use fish baths, pay to play games, pay to use massage chairs, pay for this, pay for that. It can definitely add up to $100 fast if you get carried away. Customer service is a mixed bag. I barely saw many japanese locals in this onsen compared to other I have been to. There are definitely onsens that are better than this so called "Odaiba blahblahblah" for sure. I would advise you to save your money and search for some place better. The reason why we came here was because we thought it would be nice to bath, experience the facilities, and convenient to wait for the shuttle bus to the airport. When my s.o. was asking about the shuttle bus, the employee he spoke to wearing black glasses and a black shirt was not only NOT helpful at all but also gave FALSE INFORMATION about buses and was a waste of time! As tourists we don't really speak Japanese so my s.o asked if the employee could call the bus service to find out the times for us. The employee told my s.o. to contact the bus service himself(wtf?). The SIM card we used did not have a call function, so there was no way for us to contact a bus station. Then, an employee nearby overheard the conversation and offered to help call and find out the bus availability to Narita airport, and he told the unhelpful dude to give us the information. Apparently the unhelpful employee didn't know anything about the bus service and was too lazy to help us ask. Baths were okay, but did not feel sanitary. Some areas had lukewarm bath water which is unusual. The only things going for this place are: you get Yukata(not kimono), the foot doctor fish you have to pay for, and the indoor food court. It's cool to experience but for "meh" food quality, I'd rather stick to going to an affordable hotel and take the metro to various shopping areas for awesome street food. If you do decide upon this place, with your suit cases and all, just lock it in the lockers outside of the changing rooms. The lockers inside only have up to the 500 yen ones whereas the ones outside of the changing rooms have up to 700 yen ones.

The best way to describe Oedo Onsen is an anime high school cultural festival theme park. If you know what that means then there's a good chance Oedo Onsen might be for you. If not, well, read on and find out. The way the Onsen works is like this: you are given a yukata (traditional Japanese robe) - you get your pick of four different styles. You enter a changing room where you change into your yukata and from there you enter the main area. The main area is an arcade of restaurants, shops, games, and various sitting and resting areas. It is pretty lavishly decorated to look like a cultural festival, and there are anime themed character cutouts and pictures all around. Inside, everyone is wearing their yukatas and it looks really cool. The restaurants offer a variety of different Japanese cuisines. I had a chirashi sushi bowl and yakitori (meat skewers) chicken gizzards. The food wasn't amazing but it was quite tasty. The games are an assortment of various types you would find at a carnival - throwing things at targets, etc. Some of them have a Japanese feel, like throwing "shurikens" or a game where you try to grab objects out of water using a flimsy paper scoop before it breaks. The prizes are typical carnival trinkets but with a Japanese (i.e. Anime) feel. Quick note - you pay for everything by scanning a bracelet you carry around, so it's really easy to rack up a huge bill if you're not careful. The onsen (hot springs) themselves are entered after going through another inner changing room where you leave your yukata in a locker. I'm pretty sure they aren't real hot springs but just heated pools. Nonetheless it is pretty relaxing! Just remember to follow all the Japanese customs regarding onsen. The reason I'm giving this five stars is mostly the atmosphere. It really is a lot of fun! This is probably the closest any American can get to being in a high school anime, and really, who wouldn't want that?

NOT TATTOO FRIENDLY... I'm from California. I'm Filipino and Hawaiian. My poly side comes with me having ink. I had no idea coming to Japan how conservative the ppl were. So I didn't know there was a sign at the front of the entrance saying ppl with tattoos would be denied entry. And if you were found to have tattoos once inside you can be told to leave with no refund. This was after the fact we had stood in line for more than an hour. Looked it up and many onsens will not allow entry to ppl with tattoos. Some do allow it. Double check before visiting an onsen if you have ink. 3 stars bc I didn't even make it past the entry way and other reviews make this place sound amazing. I had an aching lower back and feet and didn't get to enjoy this.

Tourist trap for sure, but one that I enjoyed. You pay a cover to get in, and once you're inside, you have to pay more for food, drinks, desserts, some spa services, etc. You don't have to carry around cash or credit card because they give you this barcode that you can wear on your wrist to keep track of your purchases. I liked wearing a yukata and seeing everyone wear one too. I ate Korean food (chibbokki) at the food court in the unisex area. Didn't go in the hot tubs because I wasn't ready to get that friendly with my friends aahahah but we did enjoy dipping our feet in the foot onsen outside! Not sure if I would do this again, but I recommend this place if you haven't been!

If you are craving a much needed break after running around the city, this is a good place to relax with family for a few hours. Enjoyed a pleasant outside garden area and large bathing/steam areas. Do not recommend the fish foot pond thing - unless you need to talk about a worthless novelty. This onsen does not compare to a more authentic experience elsewhere (as others have said), however we were pleased to find this as an option in Tokyo!

Ooedo Onsen is a sort of a theme park, where you can experience a Japanese onsen (hot spring) in the middle of Tokyo. It's located in Odaiba, right off of the Yurikamome train line. They also have free shuttle buses from various parts of Tokyo. (I personally took their free shuttle bus from JR Shinagawa station.) The bath house is around 2000 yen per person to enter, and offers several indoor baths, a few outdoor baths, and a unisex foot bath. They also have some premium services at an extra charge, such as massages and rock salt sauna. Upon arrival, you'll be given your own set of yukata to change into, and then you get to try the different baths while also enjoying an old school Japanese festival atmosphere between baths. There's also a fair selection of food court restaurants and drink offerings. Personally, I think this is a cool concept and definitely enjoyable for visitors, especially for those from outside Japan. Compared to a true hot spring ryokan however, the food isn't as good or extravagant, it can be super crowded on the weekends, the water isn't sourced from an actual hot spring, and at 2000 yen per person plus money for food and drinks, it's not exactly cheap. Being a native Japanese who loves hot springs, I would probably shell out 8000~10000 yen per person to go to a real hot spring ryokan in nearby Atami, Ito, or Nikko (Ryokan in Hakone is more like 20000-30000 yen per person)... but if you're visiting from abroad and you just want a quick experience of a Japanese hot spring without making a significant monetary commitment, Ooedo Onsen is an excellent choice.

Onsen, food and place to relax and sleep. I won't go into details since others have done a great job. The key is good onsen options and variety of food options. They have options also for sleeping and relaxing areas. Its right next to the Yurikomone station but there is also direct buses from places like Shinagawa station. I went at 11:00 AM so it was hardly anyone but by 12:00 PM it was getting more people. I stayed about 3 hours total, including lunch, 1 hr onsen time and a 1 hour nap. Was worth it. Just one note on the washing up before going in the bath. The faucet system, as many in tokyo, was a bit complex but make sure to put the mode back in to faucet rather than shower and the water will stop, otherwise mine just kept going. Once you put it in faucet mode and push the water button, it only dispenses certain amount and stops at least on the station I used.

Environment: Great great onsen experience. My personal favorite was surprisingly the sauna, mixed with the cold-water bath and then finishing up with the purple/floral onsen. Great place to relax, hangout with friends, and the onsen is both inside/outdoors which makes it the best experience possible trying to enjoy environment/nature with it! Steps: Take off shoes for 100 yen (you get this back at the end) -- put inside -- walk over to cash-register in your socks/bare-feet -- purchase whatever you want for the day -- grab the key (now you have shoes key and in-house key for your onsen locker -- move to the counter next to the male/females designated locker rooms -- pick up a little webbed basket/bag -- grab small towel, large towel, and clothing to walk around onsen -- go into male/female designated lockers (undress) and lock your stuff up -- go into the shower room naked with your small towel (to cover yourself) -- shower -- move into the onsen room that is literally connected (indoor/outdoor) -- enjoy yourself! -- at the end, get dressed/changed -- PAY AT THE END at the cash-register on the LEFT side -- they will give you a ticket to leave the building -- take the shuttle back home, CONGRATS! **I WISH I had explicit details like this above for my first time at the onsen. It was not super intuitive but if you follow these steps, you will be golden. Service: Great service, English most certainly limited but you can navigate.. Make sure you grab a SMALL towel (to cover yourself in the onsen), the LARGE towel (to dry yourself off), and the clothing to walk around the common areas/food court. Drink/Food: Plenty of options in the food court for a decent price (see price below). You can get scrubbed/massage for quite a high price; however, it's standard/slightly cheaper than the United States which is why I think it's good value if you just want to relax during your vacation. Price: For about $8-12 a meal for decent quality food, ~$14 for the actual onsen experience alone (without the add-ons/gimmicks), this place is easily a place to kick-back, relax, and enjoy yourself! Transportation: Came from Shin-Yokohama station where they have a FREE shuttle bus. CAN'T complain about this!! Incredible.

Awesome experience to have in Japan. You get to dress up and just have a spa day there - massages, scrubs, fish foot baths, outdoor foot soak and of course the indoor hot spring baths (separated for males and females.) They have an entire set up with all types of traditional Japanese food in a seemingly outdoor courtyard which was very cool. There are also "carnival" games that you can pay to play and win prizes and a little arcade. After you get your key bracelet, pick out your Japanese robes you can enter the courtyard. You don't need to bring anything with you except your key bracelet because everything is charged on that which just a scan. Really efficient method. Definitely an experience not to miss. For a 2600 yen entrance fee you can spend hours here. As a note, they aren't tattoo friendly so if it's small cover up with a bandaid or it won't be as worth it because you wont be able to use the baths where you're completely in the nude. Go, have fun and relax!

I wish this place had a membership because I keep bringing my friends back here when I'm in Tokyo. I absolutely love this place. I always feel so relaxed and calm after going into the onsen. It is such a fun place to bring your friends, you get to choose Yukata, experience a Japanese festival type experience, and relax in onsen. They have a variety of Asian food to choose from. Going here is also a great value for your money! This is a fantastic place and I can't wait to go back next time i'm in Tokyo! Just remember, this place unfortunately does not permit tattoos!

I love this place. OK so if you want a true Japanese onsen experience then of course Hakone or other areas will offer the most authentic experience. But you know what? I'd still come here. It's just one of those quintessential "only in Japan "experiences that make me love Japan. So how to describe this place? It's like a spa with a food court and carnival attached. If that made no sense well, welcome to this onsen! There are a bunch of YouTube videos that cover this place well, so I'll be brief. You put your shoes in one locker, then get a wristband that serves as your charge card for your visit. Next you pick up your yukata and head to the locker room to change. And yes, there are instructions on the wall for how to put the thing on. You then head into the common area that has the food court, sit down restaurants, a bar, carnival games, you name it! You can also go outside for the foot bath or pay to have fish nibble on your feet (I passed on that). When you go back in you can get a massage...I did get which I will probably pass on when I go back...it wasn't anything special and was pretty pricey. To get to the onsen itself you go into another locker room where you store your yukata and get a small and large towel. You leave the large towel in the locker and just bring the small one into the onsen. The onsen is huge with multiple indoor and outdoor pools. Be sure to try the pool where you lie in the water on an individual stone "bed" and the jets spray you everywhere. WHY haven't Americans done this?? It's amazing! And yes, you're naked but at least for me I got over that fast. One of the girls on a YouTube video said it best..just don't make a big deal out of it and it won't be. Disclaimer is I was there by myself....knowing I will never see any of these folks again probably made the experience easier. It might have been different had I been there with males I know. So yes this place is super fun and very relaxing. I'd really recommend trying it out, you can really make a whole day out of it.

This place was my husband's first insensitive experience and I should have thought about how crowded this place can get. The place add up in prices. We tried the fish spa, which was super fun. New experience for us but i think it was hyped. We were in the fish spa for about 30 minutes and I swear I do a better job scrubbing my own feet than the fish. The amenities of the place is convenient. The onsen is bit far from most hotels. Took us 50 min one way from our hotel.
