Expect white tiles, round mirrors, the house milk bath every day and a 44°C hot tub next to a soft-water cold bath. It's a real ¥600 sento in the middle of Harajuku's shopping streets.

What the guides say about Kosugiyu Harajuku
Kosugiyu is the one most people have heard of. It's been in Koenji since 1933, in a wooden temple-style building with a curved gable over the door, and it's famous for its milk bath. It opens at 8am at weekends. Its second branch, Kosugiyu Harajuku, sits in the basement of the Harakado building in Harajuku and opens at 7am every day except Thursday. One stop from Koenji, Nakano Onsen Tenjinyu keeps its Mt Fuji painting and koi garden and was certified as a hot spring in 2025.

Around Harajuku
Teen fashion theatre next door to Tokyo's grandest shrine
The jump cut is the whole point of Harajuku. Takeshita Street is loud and rammed with teenagers, and one block away Meiji Shrine sits inside a forest so quiet you'll hear the gravel under your feet. Do the shrine early in the morning, then watch the street wake up.
Harajuku has 8 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 2 shops, 2 museums, 1 shrine or temple, 1 park or garden, 1 restaurant and 1 bathhouse. Read the Harajuku guide.
