Yakushiyu
Asakusa, Tokyo
Yakushiyu is a minute from Tokyo Skytree station and was redone in April 2025 with a Greek theme. Mizuki Tanaka painted Mykonos on the men's side and Santorini on the women's. It runs more than 100 different daily baths a year, has a children's bath and a well-water cold plunge.
Insider tip
Wash at the taps before you get in, and keep your small towel out of the water. A towel set costs just ¥50, and shampoo and body soap are free. Open 3:30pm to 2am, closed Wednesdays. The Skytree is a short walk away.

Around Asakusa
Old Tokyo's front door, best before the tour buses arrive
Asakusa gets dismissed as touristy, and at 2pm on a Saturday it is. Go at 7am instead. Senso-ji with incense drifting and almost nobody around is a different place entirely, and the backstreets west of the temple still feel like the shitamachi Tokyo that most of the city paved over decades ago.
Asakusa has 14 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 3 shrines and temples, 3 bathhouses, 2 viewpoints, 2 bars, 2 shops, 1 park or garden and 1 restaurant. Read the Asakusa guide.
