Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

The Saya-no-yu open-air hot spring is a natural hot spring that is fed non-stop directly from a natural source located 1,500 meters underground. The greenish brown tinge of the water comes from its rich sodium chloride content, which is said to provide excellent thermal effect. It is also called "netsu-no-yu" (thermal bath) for this reason, and is also good for neuralgia, chronic rheumatism, and poor circulation.In addition to Saya-no-yu, there are fourteen other types of baths, plus a ganbanyoku hot stone bath (an additional fee is required for the hot stone bath).
If you like a ryokan (Traditional Japanese style hotel) with hot springs, but you don't have enough time to travel, this is the place to go. It's 30-40 minutes from Shinjuku and the place is a renovated Japanese old residential. They offer tatami rooms, a Japanese garden, and soba noodles in addition to the hot spring. There are many modernized hot springs (called super bath or Spa) in Tokyo, however, this place has a charm that other places don't offer. You get a list band to pay food or other expense and pay at the end. No cosmetic stuff (lotions, etc.) is available. Be aware.
