Sakura Hot Spring

Sakura Onsen is a modern hot spring in Tokyo that uses real hot spring water.  It also includes a traditional restaurant, where you can sit on Japanese tatami mats, a relaxation zone to chill out and massage services. Plus, you can get a haircut if you really want to!

Budget travel tips

  • Save some money by bringing your own modesty towel and bath towel.

  • Free water fountains inside, so don’t worry about buying drinks.
