Hidden on the seventh floor of a department store building in old Asakusa, Matsuri-yu is frequented by locals who come in the morning and stay all day. That's because it's more a spa than a tub. For starters, each of the many baths boasts different mineral infusions for a variety of benefits. There are Jacuzzis, outdoor baths, aromatherapy saunas, massage rooms, facialists, darkened resting rooms, even a vast tatami...
