Swimming pool is one of top summer attractions in Japan, where you can make a splash and beat the heat during extremely hot and humid Japanese summer.

Several hotels in Tokyo have open-air swimming pools on their rooftops, which are usually privilege to hotel guests, but also open to public at night only during summer. Those “Night Pool” have been a huge trend in Tokyo especially among young people, which often features bars, music with DJs, colourful decoration and lights. Some hotels also offers a stunning night view of the city from the rooftop.
