Botanical Pool ClubTokyo, Japan
'The Black Pool' is a 40 metre, 40℃ infinity pool that is arguably the highlight of the stunning Botanical Pool Club, near Chiba, Tokyo.
It's amazing that a place like this could even exist in Tokyo, comprising of 21 rooms, a bunch of swimming pools and a jungle-inspired sauna stretching out over some considerable space.
Tokyo is a city of vastly variable climate, and so this is a place to come whether it's a desert oasis or warming up you're requiring.
It is so at odds with the Tokyo we all know and love, in fact, that we at get lost think it's a masterstroke. A refuge from the chaotic, beeping energy, leaving you with more energy to charge this city's weird beauty during the day and at night.
