The list of things to do in Tokyo just keeps getting longer, whether you’re checking out onsen towns, manga libraries, or buffets. But if you only have limited time in the city, there’s one spot where you can get an all-in-one experience: Toyosu Manyo Club.
The current exchange rate is ¥100=~S$0.91 as of 8th August 2024.
Having opened this year in February 2024, Toyosu Manyo Club is more than just a huge onsen spot. It’s jam packed with loads of other amenities such as a rooftop foot bath area, massage rooms, lounge room with manga library, restaurants, games corner, and kids’ room. Heck, there’s even a hotel included, if you feel like a day isn’t enough. It starts from ¥15,000/night for 2 guests.
The Great Value Set Admission Fee (from ¥1,400) includes the bathing and facility usage fee, bath towel, towel, and a yukata outfit to wear. If you just need a few hours, try the morning bath (from ¥800).

The club is located in Toyosu in Tokyo, roughly an hour away by train from both Shibuya and Shinjuku. If you’re coming straight from Narita Airport, it will take around 1 hour 20 minutes. On the flip side, it’s only 40 minutes away from Haneda Airport.
The place is quite easily accessible. It’s right next to the famous Toyosu Market and hard to miss. Just take the Yurikamome line to Ichiba Mae station, and it’s just a 5-minute walk to the location. There is even a pedestrian deck connected, so getting there is seamless.
Toyosu Manyo Club has both indoor and outdoor onsens for you to unwind from the stress of climbing the corporate ladder. You can be assured that you’ll be relaxing in the freshest water possible, as it is imported daily from Yugawara and Hakone, 2 Japanese towns which are well-known onsen hotspots.
Fees start from ¥2,200 for adults and ¥800 for children above the age of 3. Kids above 7 years old, or taller than 120cm must be segregated into the onsens of their own respective genders.
For more privacy, there are also private onsens for you to enjoy with your partner or family. Rates start from ¥4,500/hour. However, take note that they don’t accept any reservations in advance – you can only book your session after entering the premises.
If you just want to dip your toes, head to the 10th floor for the rooftop footbath. As you soak your feet in, admire the skyline views of the city. Its design is also circular, with a 360-degree wooden walkway for you to roam about and take photos from various angles.

When we think of onsens, our first thought that comes to mind is usually soaking in hot spring water. However, Toyosu Manyo Club also has bedrock baths, which is when natural stones emit infrared rays to help your body heal. It’s basically an onsen without the water, but with similar body healing benefits. Do note that you will have to pay an extra fee of ¥1,500 for the rock bath.
For a different form of relaxation, head to the sauna and cold bath. The sauna is kept at a hot 55°C, whilst the cold bath maintains a temperature of 16°C. They are just mere metres away from each other, so you can go in and out in a jiffy for some contrasting temperature therapy.
You can further give your body a treat with their massage services on level 3. There are many services available such as Thai, Balinese Oil, Chinese Foot, and even Amoy Oil Lymph massages starting from ¥2,700.

If you have an overnight flight and are waiting to check in at your hotel, you’d be happy to know that you can get some sleep in at Toyosu Manyo Club. The family lounge room is decked out with comfy massage recliner chairs, you can use the built-in speakers in the headrest to play some calming music to sleep to. There are charging ports for your devices to “recharge” too.
Anime fans will be glad to know that there is a huge manga collection to bury your nose into, with more than 10,000 manga titles available. Browse through popular ones like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto.
Of course, what’s some relaxation without delicious food to refuel you? Toyosu Manyo Club has an all-you-can-eat buffet offering a variety of cuisines like Japanese, Western, and Chinese. Try the Xiaolongbao or fried rice for your day’s worth of carbs. The seafood items are even brought from the nearby Toyosu Market, so you know it’s fresh.
The roast beef and sashimi are a crowd favourite, giving you a juicy and tender bite. There’s even a one-person hotpot service available if you want to take the phrase “every man for himself” literally.
As you wolf down the contents of the buffet, you can enjoy the views of the Harumi Ohashi Bridge and the Odaiba Rainbow Bridge, which lights up every night. You may be tempted to stay there all day – but know that there is a 90-minute limit for all diners. It starts from ¥2,300 for adults and ¥990 for kids.
The terms “peaceful relaxation” and “kids” don’t really correlate that well together and it’s only a matter of time before they get restless. Worry not, as there’s a games corner and kids’ playroom right next door. Let them try their hand at the arcade claw machines to snag some plushies, or release any pent-up energy at the slides and obstacles of the indoor playground.
To capture the memories to last a lifetime, there is even a puri-kura – a photobooth corner at the kids’ room to snap some pictures with your fam.
The usual rules at Japanese onsens apply at Toyosu Manyo Club. If you have small tattoos, you will be given 11cm x 20cm stickers to cover them up throughout the course of your stay, even when you’re not using the onsens. People with tattoos bigger than that would sadly have to give this place a miss, but can check out Kinosaki, a tattoo-friendly town.
For the ladies, if it’s that time of the month, refrain from using an onsen and just go for the footbath or sauna instead.
Whenever we’re filling out our travel itinerary planners, we tend to overestimate how many things we can cover in a single trip, and often leave with a tinge of regret. At Toyosu Manyo Club, you can do a whole host of activities at just a single spot.
And if you head just outside the club, you’ll find yourself at Toyosu Senkanyakubanrai, a 17th century-themed shopping street with a myriad of shops and restaurants serving Japanese food, snacks, and souvenirs.
