I blogged about my Tokyo accommodations in a blog that you can read by clicking HERE.
After just two nights in this Airbnb, I extended for another week—and I may stretch it to three. The deciding factor? An all-male, no-cackling, blissfully quiet Japanese bathhouse spa on the top floor… included in the $25-a-night price.
At that point, it stops being lodging and starts feeling like a life upgrade to feel better.
A hot soak to loosen everything that travel tightens. Cold plunge to wake the soul back up. Sauna room to melt what’s left. Repeat as needed. No chatter, no scrolling—just heat, silence, and reset.
It’s become bookends for my days: explore, wander, eat, blog… then soak it all away before sleep, and having this built into my stay feels absurdly luxurious. It’s not just a spa visit—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
I was a little concerned about the water filtration at first—but the good news is they do a full deep clean every few days.
Crystal clear, spotless, and zero sketch factor.
Grossness thoughts officially averted, kinda!
The routine is downright magical:
Shower 
Hot tub 
Cold plunge 
Sauna 
Repeat 
Finish in the common area, doing absolutely nothing with a cold beer and some tunes. 
It’s simple. It’s quiet. It resets everything—body, mind, shitty attitude.
If I’ve said it once, Mom said it a thousand times:
Live life to the fullest!
Sometimes it means sitting still, realizing you hacked your own happiness.
