Hot Springs and Bathhouses - Tokyo Intro: Experience #18 of 55
Odaiba Ōedo-onsen-monogatari in Tokyo is a bit of a hot springs theme park where you do get to try out a hot springs experience in the city. Japanese hot springs have rules against showing tattoos, so check to see if they are permitted. There are also many customs to follow before and while bathing, so check out the videos below.
Update: Ōedo-onsen-monogatari is closing in 2021 as their lease ran out and they even have to return the land to its original state. Totally strange, but true.
There are numerous sento bathhouses in Tokyo. Some of which are fancier than the others, and some are restored original bathhouses. The originals might have the big iconic chimneys for the fires that heated the boilers. Here is a link to some sento in Tokyo.
