What this is
Soaking in a hot spring while surrounded by Blue Lock anime imagery is the pitch here — Oedo Onsen, the popular Odaiba bathhouse complex, is running a three-month collaboration with the football anime series throughout summer and autumn 2026. Visitors can expect themed decorations throughout the venue, a photo rally, limited merchandise featuring newly illustrated artwork of the Egoists characters, and special accommodation plans that come with exclusive novelty items.
Who should go
Blue Lock fans who want something more immersive than a standard merch pop-up — the onsen setting makes this genuinely unusual. Works well for anime-going couples or friend groups who can make a half-day or overnight stay of it.
Good to know
Admission to Oedo Onsen can be purchased at the venue or sometimes via online booking — foreign credit cards are generally accepted at the front desk. The facility is a large-scale onsen theme park rather than a traditional bathhouse, with yukata provided and multiple bathing areas, food stalls, and relaxation zones inside. Collaboration merchandise counters at anime events like this typically open when the venue does and lines form early on weekends. The photo rally will be spread across the special venue area, so allow extra time beyond a standard onsen visit. Accommodation plans with exclusive novelties are likely to require advance reservation through the official website or Rakuten Travel.
