Spadium Japon - A Tattoo-Friendly Hot Spring in Higashikurume, Tokyo

Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Higashikurume, just 20 minutes from the heart of Tokyo, Spadium Japon (スパジアムジャポン) stands as a modern sanctuary where traditional onsen culture meets contemporary leisure. Opened in 2019, this sprawling hot spring complex has quickly established itself as one of Kanto region's premier bathing destinations, drawing visitors with its impressive array of 15 distinct baths fed by Higashikurume's crystal-clear natural spring water—a source so exceptional it earned a place on Japan's prestigious Heisei-era "100 Best Waters" list. Unlike many traditional onsen establishments, Spadium Japon represents the evolving face of Japanese bathing culture—a place where innovative amenities like rooftop open-air baths, a 30,000-volume manga library, and therapeutic bedrock baths create an experience that balances authentic relaxation with modern entertainment. For tattooed travelers seeking Tokyo's hot spring culture without restrictions, this urban oasis offers a promising retreat from the city's frenetic energy.

Private Bathing Allowed: While Spadium Japon doesn't explicitly advertise a tattoo policy, as a modern facility catering to diverse clientele, it generally adopts a more flexible approach than traditional onsen. We recommend contacting them directly to confirm current policies before your visit, especially for larger or numerous tattoos.

Stepping into Spadium Japon's baths feels like discovering Tokyo's hidden natural side. The facility's alkaline-rich spring water—drawn from deep beneath Higashikurume—creates a silky, enveloping sensation that Japanese bathers prize for its skin-beautifying and stress-relieving properties. The minerals present, including sodium and calcium, leave your skin noticeably softer while the varying bath temperatures (typically 39-42°C) work to release tension held in tired muscles. The standout experience is undoubtedly the rooftop open-air bath, where you can gaze at Tokyo's night sky while immersed in therapeutic waters. For something unique, try the carbonic acid foam baths, where thousands of tiny bubbles stimulate circulation and create a tingling sensation that bathers describe as "champagne for your skin." After soaking, the bedrock bathing areas offer heated stone surfaces where you can extend your relaxation while the body continues to detoxify through gentle perspiration.
