Spadium Japon

Today December 30th 2025 me and my family came here for the first time, at 9:06 we already see a 40min long queue outside the entrance. Since it’s Winter Holiday, the prices are higher than the normal price (understandable) but still cheap. Inside the entire building you have to pay by a NFC Tag on the bracelet attached to the shoe locker key, but be careful, only in the gaming area (ufo catchers and gachapon) you must pay with real cash and coins. We enjoyed the Sento and Sauna but most of the customers are very young people like high school students and college students so you hear them screaming and shouting and playing everywhere so don’t expect to be in the Sauna chilling quietly. I also enjoyed a Thai style massage which, as expected, the technique was bad because they are all Japanese staffs, my massager even forgot to stretch some body parts, which luckily she remembered at the very end. They have a food court ,an Udon restaurant, a Gelato shop and a Cafe (which is always full of people waiting in line for an hour). This place was meant to be for business people, elderly to chill and relax, but because the entrance fee is so cheap, 80% of the customers are under 25, so they made a “cafe” where they sell Crepes and Floats and more other sweets. I came here to relax but it’s really hard to relax being surrounded by young people screaming and running wherever you are. I would like to give a 5 stars, they even have enough parking space for car and bikes, even a free shuttle bus from the nearest station, but with few disappointing I experienced today I’ll give it a 4.

This was my first ever onsen experience, and it was crazy! I stopped here randomly after a day trip to Hannō on the way back to Ikebukuro, and I’m so glad I did. This place is enormous & has everything. There were so many different types of baths & temperatures. My favorite part was the individual Tansan tubs! As others had mentioned, this place is hoppin’ - it can be a bit crowded, but honestly I liked that. There was a jovial atmosphere, and since there were so many different types of people & bodies, I didn’t feel so shy being naked like that for the first time. The staff were very nice working with my limited Japanese. I had a delicious mushroom pizza & ramune squash drink in the cafeteria - there are so many food & drink options it’ll make your head spin! The yukata are different fabric weights - I wish I had gotten the blue one, the black one was too heavy with how hot I got in the baths! It was still fun to wear, though. There are free shuttles to & from multiple train stations. I came & went from Higashi-Kurume. The shuttle stop isn’t marked in any way, it’s just in front of a random building near the train station - check out the map on the website. PS - I had never worn a tattoo shield & I messed it up, so I want to share what I learned: it’s like a temporary tattoo. You should wet the skin area, press it down, and eventually the soft peel will separate from the plastic. I was walking around trying to keep the whole thing, including the plastic, on my leg 😅 Eventually it adhered by itself and the plastic just fell off, and I understood. Oops!

This place has spa areas and a pretty good Onsen, and also very, very many places to relax of different types that are very interesting. but I can't say that I recommend it. there are too many people even on weekdays in the morning, and on weekends it is impossible to sit there. the staff is quite polite but the attitude of other people towards foreigners is strange and sometimes racist. I have been there several times and every time people behaved strangely despite the fact that I am polite and know Japanese well. Good in the 1st floor was quite bad, especially chicken. Also even on a weekday it’s hard to get into the spa rooms. People just sleep there and you have to wait like a dog under the door. You can’t just get in easily and relax. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO This place allows you to come with a tattoo to the onsen but you have to buy a cover at the entrance. This cover is hard and absolutely useless in the water. It will fall off in 10 minutes. A waste of money. Also, if your tattoo goes beyond the cover, you will not be allowed to use the onsen. Some say that Japan is the country of the future but in reality Japan still lives with prejudices in 2025 and for them you are a yakuza if you have a tattoo. In fact, they are just afraid of the reviews of aggressive old people

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this place was, not expecting it to be so big and nicely designed. The interior makes me feel like I am on holiday at a resort in the tropics, with the use of lots of wood, plants, and yellow light making it bright enough but still retaining a relaxing atmosphere. There are lots of food choices in the food court, from Japanese meals to pizza and burgers. So, if you ever get hungry, it’s always possible to grab something to eat. The baths were also quite stylishly made, with different pools of different features. Going on a day with good weather, the wall that connects the indoor pools with the multiple outdoor pools (露天風呂) was even opened so it didn’t feel cramped even though there was quite a lot of people. This place may be far from the train station, but it is connected to a few stations by a free shuttle bus, so make sure to check their website for the timetable. On busy days/times, you might have to go a bit earlier to the waiting area as the small bus gets filled quite easily. If you’re leaving from the spa headed to the station, they might use 2 buses if there are lots of people, however, if you are riding from the station and the bus gets filled, you’ll just have to wait for the next shuttle.

Affordable, so much to experience, and clean facilities. Food is good with many options, price to enter and use the 4th floor is incredibly reasonable at around 1900 yen (includes towel and robe rental). Would be a bit careful as it gets packed during holidays and weekends and parents often let their kids roam around freely - which can be annoying, but otherwise I’d recommend this place for a few hour getaway and relaxation. Have been twice and was happy both times. Note for foreigners with tattoos: you can purchase a tattoo cover for 200 yen here (type that dissolves in water and leaves a patch), it’s roughly the size of half a sheet of paper. If you have one or two small/medium sized tattoos you will be fine but if you have a larger sleeve or back piece take precaution and understand you may not be allowed in the hot water bath.
