Mega Spas: Spa LaQua (approx. £15) in Tokyo Dome City is a polished resort-style complex with outdoor natural spring baths and saunas. Thermae-Yu (approx. £14) offers a luxurious oasis in Shinjuku, but keep in mind they have a strict tattoo policy requiring waterproof bandages.

Couples/Mixed Gender: Niwa-no-yu (approx. £12) is perfect for couples as it features beautiful traditional gardens and a mixed-gender area where swimsuits are permitted.

Luxury: The Aman Spa provides a world-class, ultra-luxury wellness sanctuary featuring traditional Shinto water rituals and a 30-metre pool with panoramic city views.
