3. Things to know in Tokyo’s 23 wards
Day-trip onsen in the 23 wards fall into two types: central ones right by a station, and suburban ones you reach by bus or on foot. At the central ones (LaQua, Thermae-Yu, Niwa-no-Yu) and at Heiwajima, towels and house wear are included in the fee, so you can go with nothing. At the suburban Myojin-no-Yu and Sayano Yudokoro, the fee is around ¥1,000, and towels and house wear are rented separately or brought from home.
SAKURA runs a shuttle bus between Sugamo Station and its car park. Heiwajima runs free buses from Omori and Heiwajima stations on days when Boat Race Heiwajima holds races. Sayano Yudokoro says on its official site that it has no shuttle bus.
Parking differs. Niwa-no-Yu has none. Myojin-no-Yu has 90 free spaces, Sayano Yudokoro 74 free spaces (free for up to 5 hours on holidays), and SAKURA 88 spaces (2 hours free).
Age rules for children also differ. LaQua does not admit children aged 0–5, Niwa-no-Yu admits ages 13 and over, and SAKURA admits ages 6 and over to bathe.
Check temporary closures before you go. Niwa-no-Yu is closed for maintenance from November 9 to 13. Sayano Yudokoro raises its fee after 18:00 on weekdays to ¥1,000 from November 4, 2026.
