Overview
Some hotels sit next to an attraction. Manyo Club Toyosu is built inside one. Occupying the upper floors of Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai—Tokyo’s Edo-period-themed entertainment complex that opened in February 2024—this hot spring resort delivers a genuine onsen experience in the heart of one of the city’s most exciting new districts. The defining feature is the water itself: real Yugawara Onsen sourced from Kanagawa Prefecture, piped up to rooftop footbaths and open-air spa facilities with unobstructed views of Tokyo Bay.
I arrived by Yurikamome monorail, stepping off at Shijomae Station and reaching the hotel via a covered pedestrian bridge in under three minutes. Entering through the lantern-lit streets of Senkyaku Banrai—styled after the Edo period, dense with food stalls, izakayas, and the scent of grilling seafood—it was immediately clear that this wasn’t a standard hotel stay. The whole complex is designed around the idea of slowing down, and Manyo Club sits at the center of it.
The facility opened less than a year and a half before my visit, and it shows. Everything from the lobby to the communal areas still feels fresh, polished, and well thought out. Whether you’re coming for a full overnight stay or a day-use spa session, there’s enough here to fill an entire day without ever stepping outside.
Room & Amenities
My room was a 4-tatami mat Japanese-style room (non-smoking), Room 426 on the 4th floor. It’s compact—there’s no avoiding that—but the design is deliberate enough that the size quickly stops feeling like a limitation. The tatami flooring creates an immediate sense of calm, and the room functions exactly as it should: as a personal retreat between rounds of onsen, lounges, and food.
The futon sits on a slatted base that allows airflow and prevents moisture, a thoughtful detail that extends the comfort of sleeping on the floor. The cylindrical pillow comes with height adjustment options—genuinely useful for side sleepers. Bedside amenities included USB-A and USB-C charging ports, easy-reach light switches, and adjustable lighting and temperature controls. An air purifier, safe, fridge, and a deodorizing spray were also provided. Tabi socks, bottled water, and a comprehensive amenity kit—shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair and skin care products—completed the in-room setup. The TV felt generously sized for the room’s footprint.
The restroom is a separate toilet, clean and well-maintained. There’s no in-room shower or bath, which is entirely by design—the communal hot spring baths, sauna, and stone spa facilities are the primary bathing experience at Manyo Club. The room functions as a sanctuary; the rest of the building is where the real experience happens.
At check-in on the 7th floor, guests choose their room wear from a selection of yukata and samue in various colors and patterns. I picked a blue-striped yukata, which I wore for most of the stay. Loungewear, sash, tabi socks, and towels are all included in the admission—arriving with nothing but a small bag is entirely possible and actually quite freeing. A card key handles all in-house payments, making food, drinks, and massages easy to add throughout the stay. Weekday evenings bring a 15% discount on massage services, and the relaxation floor monitors allow you to browse and book treatments directly from your seat.
Dining & Breakfast
The breakfast buffet on the 5th floor was the highlight of the stay. Given that this is Toyosu—home to one of Japan’s most important fish markets—the seafood selection was exceptional. Fresh fish toppings for building your own kaisendon, sukiyaki made with premium Omi beef, squid with spicy cod roe, a dedicated rice topping section, miso soup, salads with a wide choice of dressings, Western options, and a DIY hot pot corner. The dessert section included matcha pudding, custard pudding, fresh fruit, and yogurt.
Then there was the premium large-grain natto, wrapped in the traditional style and noticeably larger than the natto you typically encounter at hotel breakfasts. As someone who eats natto regularly, finding this variety at a hotel buffet was a genuine surprise. I ended up adding fresh seafood to the bowl alongside green onions and soy sauce—one of the best breakfast combinations of the trip.
The hall is vast, easily accommodating large groups without feeling rushed or crowded. I sat beside a wide window watching morning light fall across the ocean and the city skyline, eating slowly, enjoying the pace. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you reconsider checkout time.
On the same floor is Manyoan, a separate à la carte restaurant serving Japanese dishes—seafood bowls, rice sets, sake from across Japan. Compared to the Senkyaku Banrai food stalls below, the prices here are noticeably more reasonable, making it a good option for lunch or a quieter dinner.
Location & Access
Manyo Club Toyosu’s location is one of its strongest assets. The hotel is a 3-minute walk from Shijomae Station on the Yurikamome line via a fully covered pedestrian walkway, making arrivals smooth regardless of weather. For guests preferring trains, the free shuttle bus to Shimbashi and Monzen-Nakacho stations adds flexibility—both are major interchange points with easy connections across central Tokyo.
The views from the upper floors are remarkable. The rooftop footbath garden—accessible by stairs from the 9th floor—offers a full 360-degree panorama of Tokyo Bay: Rainbow Bridge is clearly visible, Tokyo Tower appears in the distance, and on clear days the outline of Mt. Fuji emerges on the horizon. I spent an unreasonable amount of time up there simply watching the city lights shift as the evening deepened. The 8th floor footbath garden faces Senkyaku Banrai and provides a different but equally striking view—lanterns and lit rooftops below, open sky above. Both gardens are fed by real Yugawara Onsen water.
The relaxation lounges on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors (the 4th floor is women-only) each come with personal TV monitors, power outlets, USB ports, and blankets for napping. The manga library on the 3rd floor is extensive. I found myself in the lounge long past the point where I’d planned to leave.
A guide near the rooftop footbath identifies the major landmarks visible from that height—Toyosu Bridge, the bay bridges, skyscrapers across the skyline. It’s a detail that adds context to what’s already a stunning view.
Final Verdict
Manyo Club Toyosu delivers something genuinely uncommon: a fully-formed onsen resort experience inside one of Tokyo’s most vibrant new entertainment complexes. The rooms are compact but carefully appointed, the breakfast buffet is outstanding, the views are dramatic in every direction, and the spa facilities—real Yugawara Onsen, rooftop footbaths, saunas, stone spa, and multiple relaxation lounges—provide everything needed for a proper wellness day. Admission includes loungewear and towels, so you can arrive light and stay comfortable throughout.
The autograph of kabuki actor Shido Nakamura displayed in the breakfast hall adds a quietly cultural touch that suits the whole Edo-period aesthetic of the complex. Small details like that—along with the thoughtfully designed rooms, the free shuttle service, and the seamless card-key payment system—signal that serious care went into building this place.
If you’re looking for a hotel stay that functions more like a full-day experience, Manyo Club Toyosu makes a compelling case. It rewards arriving early and leaving late. Rates vary by season—check current prices on Agoda.
