Real kuroyu, the dark peaty water of the Kanto plain, across nine different tubs including an open-air area, in the wooded Jindaiji area of Chofu rather than the city proper. Jindaiji temple, its soba street and the botanical gardens are all a few minutes away, but you have to finish with a bus back to Chofu or Mitaka.
