Kairyo-yu

Kairyo-yu is a modern bathhouse located about a 20-minute walk from Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Compared to older establishments, its whole vibe is very sleek and minimalist – think moody, dim lighting that softly reflects from the ceiling with the movement of the water below.

The bathing area has a 40-degree bath, a moderate 35-degree bath, a cold plunge and a sauna. The hotter bath comfortably fits around 5 people, or more depending on how cozy you’re happy to get. It has two jet massage chairs in the corner, which are pretty moderate in power but add a touch of variety to your soak.

The adjacent 35-degree bath is filled with carbonated spring water, which is said to promote circulation, aid exercise recovery and tighten skin. The men’s side features a 90-degree convection sauna that automatically steams every 20 minutes. The women’s side has a Kelo sauna that’s said to offer a milder, more aromatic sauna experience.

Kairyo-yu occasionally holds special events such as women’s days or men’s days, where you’re able to use both sides of the bathhouse and experience both saunas. The relaxation area has a variety of drinks as well as sento and sauna merch available for purchase. Credit card payments accepted.
