Staff reported the tub was missing on Wednesday at the Kominato Hotel Mikazuki, a resort overlooking the Pacific Ocean, east of Tokyo.
Police said they had no idea how it was stolen, saying they had found no sign it was dragged on the floor.
The tub weighed 80kg (175lb) and was made of 18-carat gold.
It was normally chained to the door and padlocked when the room was closed, Japanese TV reported.
A similar tub in the women's shared bathroom is still in place, the police spokesman said.
