Onsen-Yudonburi-Sakaeyu — Yoyo Traveler

Compact but with a lot of variety: almost every bath has bubbles, even the cold and the brown one. Bilingual signs and an owner who speaks some English make it one of the best first onsen to try in Tokyo.

For First-Timers For A Sunny Day Tattoo-Friendly With Sightseeing

Intro

A special Onsen near Asakusa, in an area called Oku-Asakusa, north of Sensoji. Yudonburi Sakae-yu isn’t overly huge but it is a bigger warm-bath facility which was revamped and renovated in 2017. There are three types of bath - medical, jet and electric - plus a sauna. Although a natural hot spring, the facility itself is a sento, a downtown-style public bath.

The following description is based on the male facilities!
