Daikokuyu in Oshiage: A Tokyo Sento with a SkyTree View and Overnight Hours
Daikokuyu has a natural spring bath and Tokyo Skytree view, with men’s and women’s sides alternating between open-air and carbonated baths by date.
Daikokuyu is a useful stop after Tokyo Skytree, but its most distinctive feature is the way the bath changes with the date. The large open-air side has the broader outdoor setup and a mugwort steam-and-salt sauna; the other side centres on a cooler, high-concentration carbonated bath. The sides switch between men and women every day, so the date matters if you have your heart set on one of them.
Which bathing side will be open?
On odd-numbered dates, men use the large open-air side and women use the carbonated-spring side. On even-numbered dates, they switch. Both sides have an infrared sauna. The open-air side also has a steam-and-salt sauna using mugwort, while the other side is known for its high-concentration artificial carbonated bath, kept around 37–38°C. The official facility page says the open-air pool and second-floor wooden deck have views of Tokyo Skytree.
The natural hot-spring bath itself is listed at about 42°C, and a 90-centimetre-deep walking bath is kept near 35°C. The carbonated pool is also gentler than the hot spring bath. This makes Daikokuyu a workable option even if you are not using the sauna, though the date still determines which layout you get.
A late visit is possible, but this is not a hotel
Adult admission includes up to 90 minutes in the bath; adding the sauna extends the limit to two hours. Shampoo and body wash are supplied. Hair dryers, Wi-Fi and phone charging are free, and tattoos are allowed.
| Extra | Weekday | Weekend / public holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Sauna surcharge | ¥300 or ¥370, depending on the side | ¥330 or ¥400, depending on the side |
| Towel set | ¥130 | ¥130 |
Hours run late: weekdays 3 p.m.–10 a.m. the next morning, Saturdays 2 p.m.–10 a.m., and Sundays/public holidays 1 p.m.–10 a.m. Tuesday is the regular closing day; if Tuesday is a holiday, the bath opens and closes Wednesday instead. There is no overnight surcharge, but the time limit still applies. You cannot treat the bath ticket as permission to sleep there all night.
Planning a visit from Skytree
Oshiage Station is about a six-minute walk, and Tokyo Skytree is around ten minutes away on foot. That makes Daikokuyu easy to pair with an evening around Solamachi or a late return from sightseeing. The large open-air side has the stronger view; the second-floor deck offers a place to cool down, with hammocks and reclining chairs.
There are three dedicated parking spaces, but most visitors will find the train simpler. If you want a newer design-led sento instead, compare Koganeyu in Kinshicho. For a natural-spring bath on the Asakusa side, there is also Yudonburi Sakaeyu.
