Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower - A Tattoo-Friendly Hot Spring in Osaka City, Osaka

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower brings an innovative twist to Japan's bathing tradition with its spectacular Sky Spa perched on the 31st floor. Opened in July 2024, this modern sanctuary offers one of Japan's highest open-air bathing experiences, where you can soak in sweeping Osaka cityscapes from 135 meters above ground. Unlike traditional ryokan onsen, this luxurious hotel onsen creates a perfect marriage between contemporary design and Japanese bathing rituals—earning recognition from the prestigious Michelin Guide for its creative approach to urban relaxation. The Sky Spa provides a welcome retreat for international travelers seeking authentic Japanese bathing culture within a sophisticated, accessible environment. After a day exploring Osaka's vibrant streets, you'll find tranquility just steps from the bustling Osaka Station in this sleek urban oasis.

• Breathtaking Skyline Views: Experience one of Japan's tallest open-air baths with panoramic 360° vistas of Osaka's urban landscape 
• Urban Convenience: Located just 5 minutes from Osaka Station, perfect for integrating relaxation into your city explorations 
• Contemporary Luxury: Enjoy modern amenities including a Finnish-style loyly sauna in an elegant, design-forward setting 
• International Atmosphere: More approachable for first-time onsen visitors with English-speaking staff and contemporary bathing etiquette 
• Day-to-Night Experience: Witness Osaka transform from daytime bustle to dazzling nightscape while immersed in warm waters

The Sky Spa offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional Japanese bathing culture, where the star attraction is the open-air bath providing uninterrupted views across Osaka's urban tapestry. As evening falls, the cityscape transforms into a glittering canvas of lights that reflects on the water's surface, creating a magical atmosphere unlike any other onsen experience. While the baths don't contain natural mineral content (this is a heated public bath rather than natural hot spring water), the carefully maintained temperature provides perfect relaxation for tired muscles. The adjoining loyly sauna enhances the wellness benefits through alternating heat therapy—promoting circulation, stress reduction, and skin health. This urban bathing ritual offers a perfect balance of Japanese bathing tradition and modern wellness practices.
