[2025 Tokyo ] Travel Guide for Natural hot spring Heiwajima (Updated Apr)

Staying at the Dormy Inn Natural Hot Spring Hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, I was impressed by its minimalist Japanese design and the highlight of its natural hot spring baths. Today, I decided to venture a bit further to Heiwajima Onsen as my destination. Taking a ride to the seaside, I passed by Tokyo Bay, enjoying the expansive views. Heiwajima Onsen boasts comprehensive facilities, including open-air baths and hot stone rooms that offer complete relaxation for both body and mind. While soaking in the hot springs, I watched the gentle sway of tree shadows in the sea breeze, as if time had come to a standstill. Returning to Ikebukuro in the evening, I indulged in another soak at the hotel’s hot spring, letting the warmth dissipate the fatigue of the journey. This day, without rushing to tourist spots, brought true healing to both my body and soul.

| Natural Hot Spring Heiwajima. Heiwajima Hot Spring🏨 is a natural hot spring close to Haneda Airport. It's not far from the airport, just a 10-minute taxi ride. Bathing in a Japanese hot spring is actually just like bathing in a large bathhouse, but after a long flight of more than ten hours, it's really comfortable to soak in a large bathhouse, let alone a natural hot spring one! You can choose to take the late-night bus to this natural hot spring Heiwajima, or the bus in the late afternoon. You can take the train to Omori station, or change to the tram at Heiwajima station. There is a rest area in the hall. After taking a bath, you can have a good sleep. It's so cool. Although the air conditioner is on, there is a heater on the floor, so it won't be too cold to sleep. Precautions: 1. Bring a good eye mask, you can have a very comfortable sleep in the rest area. 2. If convenient, bring a small blanket to cover when sleeping, because the hall only provides towels. 3. After a long flight, it is not recommended to soak in the hot spring for more than 5 to 10 minutes at a time. You can soak intermittently, rest for a while, and then go to soak. 4. The checkout💰 is swiped on the self-service machine, but the American visa card may not work well. Tell the front desk, and the front desk will take out another pos machine to help you checkout. 5.

But the locker requires a 100 yen💰 coin (please note, so it's better to exchange some yen in advance at the airport, there is an ATM at the airport), it's not an exaggeration to say that after a hot spring bath, the whole person is much more refreshed~
