A Cafe that is an Old Japanese Style House in Tokyo - ENGAWA CAFE 縁側カフェ・昭和の家

Recommended hot springs around this area

Low Priced and Popular Hot Spring / SPA RYUSENJINOYU near Tokyo 竜泉寺の湯 草加谷塚店
I have been to this hot spring a few times. It is still unknown to international tourists. I recommend you go there on weekdays. On weekends and during holiday season, probably it is crowded in the bathing rooms and restaurant.
