It is very difficult to find an onsen or super sento in Tokyo for around 1,000 yen, but here are some top recommendations.
| Facility Name | Nearest Station | Onsen Features |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Onsen Sachi no Yu | Kōjiya Station | Cost-effective natural onsen |
| Tenjinyu | Shinbanba Station | Simple yet well-equipped |
| Mikokuyu | Kinshicho Station | Enjoy kuro-yu natural hot spring |
| Shimizuyu | Musashi-Koyama Station | Popular for its rich onsen minerals |
| Heiwajima Onsen (Hayayu Course) | Heiwajima Station | High satisfaction even for short stays |
Among them, Shimizuyu (Musashi-Koyama) stands out for its high-quality onsen, featuring two types: kuro-yu (black water) and golden water.
In terms of cost-performance and accessibility, Sachi-no-Yu (Ōta-ku) and Tenjinyu (Kita-Shinagawa) are also excellent choices.
Mikoku-yu is also very good with black hotspring, but a little bit far from Kinshicho-station.
② If You Have a Car, add 5 minutes and 500 YEN! A Higher-Grade Onsen & Super Sento
For around 1,000 yen, most options are “sento with onsen” facilities. However, if you can try to go a bit further and increase your budget slightly, the overwhelmingly recommended choice is Maenohara Onsen Saya no Yu Doki (Itabashi Ward).
Recommended Features:
- Natural hot spring with free-flowing source water
- Spacious indoor and open-air baths for relaxation
- Easy access from central Tokyo (even more convenient by car)
If you’re looking to enjoy a day-trip onsen experience in Tokyo, use this ranking as a guide to find the best facility that suits your needs.
