EDO-YU RYOGOKU — Restaurant in Tokyo

Five minutes on foot from Ryogoku Station. The building, which has won a design award, has a good old Japanese atmosphere with a bit of stylishness added, and the entrance is already pleasant.

There are two indoor baths, a jet bath and a water bath. There are two open-air baths with hot water, and two types of saunas (hot and cold) 🔥.

The Finnish style sauna "Lowryu" was more intense than I had imagined and gave me a big thump...!

And what surprised me most of all was the abundance of workcation rooms 💻. Next time I'm thinking about staying in and working in the morning ◎

This was my first visit and the conclusion was very good! I love saunas, but even in the heart of the city, this Edoyu is a very relaxing place to spend time, and the price is right!

The best relaxing space! ✨

I recently visited Edoyu for the first time and was very satisfied! The inside of the building is clean and very relaxing with a calm atmosphere. There are many kinds of hot springs, especially the carbonic acid spring and sauna! The outside air bath space after the sauna is also spacious and allows you to relax and get in shape. To be honest, it would have been better if there were infinity chairs!

Also, the rest area was well equipped with reclining chairs to relax and unwind. The dining room menu was delicious, and I found myself lingering there for quite a while.

The staff was courteous and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely use this restaurant again! Highly...

We visited the Edo-yu at the tail end of, what was apparently, a record breaking heat wave in Tokyo. 13 straight days of 90+ degree temperatures with 90+% humidity.

The LAST thing I wanted to do was get in hot water, but, my wife was so looking forward to it... had to go.

The experience was very nice. It didn't seem like anyone spoke English, but my poor Japanese was enough to muddle by.

First take off your shoes and put them in a locker. That locker key on a bracelet is going to be the lynch pin of the experience. After you wait in line and register. They'll ask you how long you want to stay, and then provide you with some sort of spa bag. In our case we had to wait about 10 minutes, our number was called up. We tapped our magic key bracelet and headed upstairs.

There's a hot rock room on the upper floors (I could not). The men's baths had several different types of saunas, steam rooms and baths between temperatures and additives, but I just spent my whole time soaking in the cold water bath. Between my aching, swollen feet (did I mention how hot it was for two weeks) and my general hatred of warmth at that point it's all I could do.

Afterwards I spent some time napping in the relaxation room before meeting my wife for dinner on the common floor.

The food there was excellent, a very good value, and again... tap your bracelet to pay.

As your time wraps up or you're satisfied, make your way out and pay at the kiosk before dropping your...

My first public bath experience in Japan and I’ve come back twice in a row. Heard from my local friends that this public bath is slightly on the expensive side but it’s absolutely fine with me. The receptionists speak basic English, and the customers there seem generally young.

This place is separated into 5 floors, two of which are gender-exclusive. The baths were alright - two of them are open air. It was raining and snowing on one of the nights I went, so it felt absolutely magical to lie flat in an onsen and listening to the rain and snow dropping into the onsen 😍

The Japanese massage on 3/F was really great - absolutely eased my shoulders and legs pain from too much walking and carrying backpack during travel. ¥7,700 for a 70-min full body massage - seems like a bargain for me.

The resting area was fabulous - chairs are really comfortable and are perfect after onsen / massage.

I would definitely consider coming back, especially if I take a red eye flight to Tokyo and need a...
