Can anyone recommend a good sauna where I can go for a soak and a sauna, preferably near the Jimbocho, Ochanomizu, Akiba or Kanda area? Sometimes I want to take a break during the middle of the day. I want to sweat out the toxins and stress and ease my weary bones. Years ago there was a place attached to Tokyo Station called Tokyo Station Sauna. Long gone. I have been to a place in Yaesu a few times but it is kind of groaty. I don't want a massage, and of course, I don't want to be in a gay place. Just a decent, clean, well appointed sauna where the Buta can steam himself. Like a Butaman.

Not to be too obvious but a google map search for
千代田区 サウナ turned up a bunch
 
Yea but most of them suck for one reason or another. Will start to look into it deeper. Thanks

In Ikebukuro we like to go to Resta near Sunshine Bldg.
In Shinjuku we recently found Thermae-yu in Kabukicho which is pretty nice (and has a special relax room for those who snore. lol guess they know me)

Not true; most of them suck for multiple reasons.

Don't know any good ones around the area you are looking, there used to be an OK one in Roppongi but haven't been there in years.

I joined a gym near my office for this purpose. Somewhere like this might work for you? Depending on how frequently you want to visit, you can choose between single entry or monthly membership:

Or you could go old school / downmarket and join the regulars at your nearest sento:

The only Sento I go to is http://haginoyu.jp/ but it’s out of the way in Uguisudani... Standard price but it was just renovated and has a super spacious bathing area, 5 baths and and large (and very hot) sauna.
