Heiwayu

An eco-minded bathhouse a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station on the Yamanote Line, where the water is heated by an energy-efficient heat-pump system that keeps bathers warm long after the soak. A soft-water bath that is gentle on the skin is offered, and a wide tub lets bathers enjoy an artistic tile painting of a female figure. The house also has jet, bubble, and silk baths, and is kept clean throughout.
