Hoyo Center, in Tokyo's Edogawa ward, offers radioactive (radon-bearing) water at 38°C, a type long valued in Japanese onsen tradition. Indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna round out the facility.
Insider tip — Radium Onsen Hoyo Center serves Edogawa Ward in eastern Tokyo as one of the few genuine urban radon springs in the metropolitan area. The Edogawa spring was discovered during post-war well-drilling and has served the working-class communities of eastern Tokyo as an affordable alternative to remote mountain thermal resorts since the 1950s — an urban marvel of natural geothermal energy beneath one of the world's most densely populated cities.
