I took the free shuttle bus from Shinbashi and returned by Yurikamome line. I enjoyed looking around Senkyakubanrai and the souvenir shops, and relaxed in the hot spring after dinner. The foot bath with the wonderful Odaiba Rainbow Bridge as scenery was fun, and the buffet was delicious. The self-made self-nabe & various sushi and Japanese food, croquettes, other dishes and desserts were all good, and the hot spring and relaxation area were also nice. The open-air bath was wonderful, and the cave-shaped hot spring in the women's hot spring was also fun. I was happy that they provided all the convenience items such as towels. I want to visit again. I recommend it.

It was easy to find because it was close to exit A1 of Kasuga Station. The night view of Tokyo Dome City was also wonderful, and I liked the Asian resort-style facilities and sauna at Healing Bade, as well as the hot springs. There were various types of showers, dryers, and cosmetics, so it was fun to choose and use them. There was also a place selling convenient goods in the relaxation area, which was convenient. Healing Bade is open until 11:30 PM, so if you are entering late in the evening and want to use it until late at night and in the morning, I recommend experiencing Healing Bade first. The stone sauna was very good, and I also liked the mirrors and sofas between each hot sauna space, and the cool spaces with jellyfish. There were also a few saunas in the hot spring facilities, so I could warm up and enjoy each hot spring and open-air bath. Among them, my aunt said that the Finnish sauna in the open-air bath had a sauna feeling like the one in Frozen, so it was charming ^^ I also liked that I could go sightseeing in conjunction with Tokyo Dome City. I recommend it.

Aisha was so lovely and educated us through the onsen experience. As a person with tattoos I was wary about going to an onsen, but doing this have me peace of mind that I wasnt breaking any rules and could enjoy my own onsen experience safely in Japan. Would recommend this to anyone else with tattoos or anyone unsure about onsen procedures and how to be respectful in an onsen. If you're in Tokyo looking for an onsen to visit that isnt too far away, this was an easy location to navigate to and friendly services make this the perfect experience for a tattooed traveller. Stunning view of Tokyo Skytree too!

Our family of 4 had a great time! Learned a lot about the sumo culture. The MC was wonderful and funny. We were able to understand the MC as he was a foreigner and spoke perfect English. There was audience participation. Free gift. Highly recommend.

A really enjoyable and hands-on experience. The chopsticks making class was well organised, relaxed, and easy to follow, even if you don’t have any prior experience.
It was great to make something yourself rather than just buying a souvenir, and the process was surprisingly satisfying. The instructors were patient and welcoming, explaining each step clearly and making the experience feel personal rather than rushed.
You walk away with a useful, meaningful keepsake that actually reminds you of your time in Japan. A nice change of pace from sightseeing and a great cultural activity to break up the trip.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something interactive and memorable.

Our package has a choice between two types of wood only, and all the other wood types require additional costs (from 2k-10k ¥) and were said to pose more difficulty in creating the chopsticks due to wood hardness. Place has a pin on Google maps and is walkable from Shinjuku station, and the class isn't exactly one-on-one. Most instructors were European so there's not much of a language barrier. They're all approachable for any questions or assistance in case there's something wrong with the blade or you're having difficulty with your wood type (or maybe you're unknowingly going against the grain). Making the chopsticks takes effort and care, but even children can make it with you because of the wood docks/mold you can mount the chopstick into while shaving/carving it. Such a unique experience and definitely worth the price!

Tips before visiting Tokyo
1. Plan your train routes early
Tokyo has many train lines, so it helps to check routes on Google Maps before heading out. Most places sit within walking distance of a station, making your trip smoother. Keep a prepaid card for faster transfers.
Get your Suica card through Klook before you arrive, which saves time at the station. It’s easy to use for trains, buses, and even small shops around Tokyo, Japan.
2. Wear comfortable shoes
You’ll walk a lot when you visit Tokyo, especially in large areas like Shinjuku City and Shibuya. Streets and attractions are close but still require steady walking.
3. Bring cash for small shops
Many places accept cards, but some food stalls and older shops still prefer cash. Markets you'll visit, like Tsukiji Fish Market or small cafés, may not take cards.
4. Visit popular spots early
Places like Tokyo Tower, Asakusa, and Shibuya Sky get busy as the day goes on. Going early helps you enjoy calmer views and shorter lines. This works well if you're a budget traveler who want more time in each spot.
5. Check the weather before your day trip
Tokyo’s weather changes often, especially during spring and summer. If you plan a day trip to Mount Fuji or parks like Yoyogi Park, look at the forecast first. It helps you plan what to wear and what to bring!
