I try it here as well.

Has anyone Info on Steam establishments - 24 Kaikan Shinjuku or other steamy venues?

Every Info welcome. Thanks

I visit 24 Kaikan in Shinjuku whenever I'm in Tokyo, a few times a year.

What do you need to know?

Any location information, how to arrive there, is it near the Park hyatt Shinjuku?

The www. has no map for this establishment only for the other two in Ueno and Asakasa.

Thanks for an up date on this.

No, I wouldn't call it near the Park Hyatt. On foot it would probably take you half an hour or more. Best to go by taxi or subway, but you'll have to figure out what line to take.

It's right in the middle of the gay district (Shinjuku 2-chome), facing a small park that may just be named Shinjuku ni-chome Koen (I'm not sure).

Actually, there is a Japanese language map on their site, here:

24 Kaikan Shinjuku Branch Map

The two boxes with text and a line pointing to a dot are showing nearby subway stations: Shinjuku 3-chome Station (the one with the 3 visible in it) and Shinjuku Koen Station on the Marunoichi Line (the other one).

Once you're in the area, you should be able to find the sauna when you find the little park in Shinjuku 2-chome. Just look for the sign with "24" on it, or ask any of the lots of obviously gay guys who frequent the area.
