Spa LaQua
Bunkyo, Tokyo
Spa LaQua is the onsen complex inside Tokyo Dome City, fed by an amber, very salty hot spring pumped from 1,700 metres down. There's an outdoor bath at two temperatures, a row of saunas with scheduled aufguss sessions, and floors of lounges and restaurants. It's a modern leisure spa, so expect crowds on weekends.
Insider tip
Adults pay from ¥3,500 depending on the date, or ¥1,000 less if you check in after 7pm, and the towel set and loungewear are included. No tattoos at all, and that includes body paint and sticker tattoos. Under-6s aren't admitted, and 6 to 17 year olds need a guardian and must leave by 6pm.
What the guides say about Spa LaQua
The water is often the selling point, but read the small print. Spa LaQua and Tokyo Somei Onsen Sakura pump their own springs. Thermae-yu trucks its water in from Naka-Izu, and the Toyosu Manyo Club brings its from Hakone and Yugawara by tanker. They're also stricter about tattoos and young children. Spa LaQua turns away under-6s, and Somei Onsen Sakura won't let them use the baths.
