Tokyo Higashikurume City
One of the Kanto region’s largest spas, with natural onsen and Tokyo’s only spring among Japan’s 100 Exceptional Waters
Spadium Japon is an onsen bathhouse for day visits in Higashikurume, Tokyo. On grounds among the largest in the Kanto region, it has 15 kinds of bath using Musashino Onsen (a sodium chloride and bicarbonate spring) and spring water chosen as one of the Heisei-era 100 Exceptional Waters of Japan, the only one in Tokyo. Its tower sauna with blast-wind automatic löyly and its two cold plunges, including a strongly carbonated one made with that famous spring water, have won devoted sauna fans. In the warm-stone area you can also try a tent sauna and a barrel sauna, making it one of Tokyo’s finest bathing theme parks.

Natural onsen water that is colorless and clear, unusual in the Kanto region. In Kanto, where black water is the norm, this clear water rich in the skin-beautifying components of a bicarbonate spring is a rarity. The refreshing feel of its carbonate effect, along with exfoliating and moisturizing effects, keeps your skin smooth long after bathing. Most of the 15 baths use this Musashino Onsen water, so you can enjoy natural onsen in many styles.

A tower of four to five tiers where automatic aroma löyly and blasts of air go off at regular intervals, wrapping the whole room in heat at once. Original aromas such as pineapple combine with hot steam, and it is known as a “hard sauna” that draws a flood of sweat from the whole body even in a short time. The large room has a TV and is designed to feel uncrowded even when busy, and it is a favorite of many sauna fans.

A salt sauna where you rub salt onto your body and massage it in to encourage sweating. It draws sebum and waste from deep in the pores, and you can expect a skin-beautifying, detoxifying effect that leaves the skin smooth afterward. After covering your whole body generously with the salt provided in the room, rinse the salt off carefully before leaving.

A cold plunge drawing on the same source as Higashikurume’s spring water, chosen as one of Japan’s 100 Exceptional Waters. The clear, crisp spring water feels soft on the skin and rounds off the cool-down after the sauna beautifully. You can add ice from the fully automatic dispenser to bring it closer to the temperature you like. Alternating cold with cold between this and the carbonated cold plunge lets you reach a deep totonou, a state of deep relaxation.

A strongly carbonated cold plunge found only in the men’s bath. Strong carbonation is dissolved into spring water from one of Japan’s 100 Exceptional Waters, so your whole body is wrapped in fine bubbles and you feel a distinctive, almost tingling sensation. Ice drops from a fully automatic dispenser in the ceiling, and you can add as much as you like to make it feel colder still. Moving from this carbonated cold plunge to the regular one, alternating cold with cold, is a popular routine.

A warm-stone area on a scale among the largest in the Kanto region. Five warm-stone rooms use a wide range of natural stones, including vividly colored agate, mineral-rich rock salt and eight kinds of medicinal stone, so you can enjoy an exceptional detox session to suit your mood that day. In a dedicated cold-air room, the cold pleasantly pulls your flushed body taut. Outdoors there is also GLAUNA, a dedicated terrace with a glamping feel. Along with löyly you pour yourself in a Nordic-born barrel sauna and a tent sauna, you can enjoy the ultimate hot-and-cold contrast in an extreme cold room at minus 20°C (-4°F). There is also a forest-like lounge lined with 30,000 comics, for a blissful day off spent unwinding body and mind from morning to night.
