Oedo Onsen Monogatari Awara

An interesting experience

Reviewed By Barbara M

We stayed one night at Oedo Onsen to participate in the onsen experience. We were a group of six, five of whom were Japanese nationals familiar with bathing in an onsen. As a shy westerner, having to be naked in front of others, friends and strangers, was a challenge and I recommend that travellers acquaint themselves with onsen procedures prior to your visit. We arrived mid-afternoon and after check-in could select a yukata to wear to and from the onsen and also at dinner. Guests leave the yukata in the room before they check out. The three males of the group were given a triple western style room with beds, shower and toilet. We females were allocated a traditional tatami room with three futons on the floor, a basin and toilet but no shower facilities. The onsen procedure: enter the spa area (separate for males and females), remove all of your clothes and put them in one of the baskets supplied. Make sure you bring your towel and face washer from your room. Enter the wet area only with your face cloth. You will not be allowed to wear bathers. Sitting on one of the little stools, wash yourself and your hair thoroughly. Only when clean should you enter the hot water of the spa. Relax. If you have the time, aim to spend a good hour in the water, perhaps changing from the inside bath to the one outside. When you are ready, you can rinse yourself off or just go straight back into the dressing room, retrieve your towel, dry yourself and get dressed. This spa has a wall of mirrors, hairdryers, brushes and creams for your use. According to my Japanese friends, the sign of a good spa is how smooth your skin feels afterwards. In this case, there was no difference, hence the average rating. Oedo Onsen has package deals which include a smorgasbord dinner and breakfast which is what we took. Dinner (90 minute limit) offered a wide choice of fish, sashimi and cooked, and a variety of other foods including salad, fruit and green tea ice cream. Drinks were alcoholic and non alcoholic. Breakfast catered to the Japanese palate but also offered western food. We booked a table tennis table for after dinner but when we arrived ready to play, found that our booking had been mishandled so we missed out. We did receive a call from reception later in the evening offering us a table, but by then it was too late for us. Oedo is a chain of onsen hotels. This review is only for the hotel in Awara. Your experience in another hotel in the chain might be different. If you have never been in an onsen, it's definitely worth trying. You will sleep very well afterwards.

An excellent springboard to Tojimbo

The ryokan offered a very large tatami room with an anteroom with separate toilet and bathroom. Infront of this anteroom there is another anteroom where you leave your shoes. In all very spacious and nice. The view from the room on the seventh floor was quite remarkable. The staff at the reception and in the restaurant was very friendly . The dinner and breakfast in the separee was very good. Onsen with outdoor swimming (rotemburo) was very nice. We were picked up from the train station

Reviewed By Inspire02813278220

お出迎えからわんちゃん歓迎モードで、わたしたちもワクワクが止まりませんでした。利用した際はコロナの影響でほとんど貸切状態。愛犬とはお風呂以外どこでも行けます。ドッグランも屋外、室内と両方あり室内ではわたしたちも遊べました。またごはんがとても美味しく、わんちゃんのごはんも人間が食べれそうなほど凝っており良かったです。スタッフの方は終始愛犬と遊んでくださり、大大大満足な旅館でした。またぜひ利用します。

Good value but not really "traditional"

Reviewed By JunT

It is a quick Onsen experience for budget traveler but they cut some of traditional Onsen services. You are welcomed at the reception but you need to bring your luggage to your room even if you upgrade the room. Food is served in buffet style, the food was great but not in a good-olde ambience. Having a Manga room is a very innovative service but they are all in Japanese. The spa doesn't have smell of sulfer and honestly speaking the spa itself doen't have much difference with a bath in my house. My nephew really enjoyed this Onsen because they have tennis courts and ping-pong tables. We'll come back for my nephew but not for me.

Tsuruya

Onsen hotel with very high quality food and service

Reviewed By HKA_888

A very nice onsen hotel with very good food and high quality of service. It was near to the local train station (Echizen line), just a 3 min walk, but if you are taking the JR train, the JR station is a bit far and you need to call the hotel to arrange for transfer. We arrived by the local train line (Echizen line - which is different from the JR line) and walked to the hotel. On the day of departure, we took the free hotel shuttle to get to the father away JR train station. Service level was excellent and good. Food included for breakfast and dinner was fantastic. It was a small hotel with few rooms only so you will not get the disturbance of any large group or small children. It quiet and peaceful. The only downside was that the Awara onsen town was really a onsen town with onsen hotel only and nothing else. You won't see any local shops or onsen street like in other Japan onsen town. Basically you stay in your hotel, and you got nothing to do or to see on the street. There was a very small and very short so call the night market street with few shops and bar that only open at night, but we did not visit it so cannot comment too much on that but judging from the few shops and bars in that short street, it won't be fun either.

Mimatsu

Traditional hotel

Reviewed By hylai12

We picked this hotel as we went to a traditional restaurant for "Echizen crab". Mimatsu is a traditional Japanese hotel. While its interior decoration looks old-fashioned, it has a very beautiful garden and its room was clean. The room, with a private onsen, was fairly priced. Breakfast was also included and it was very nice of the hotel to prepare a vegetarian meal for me (I had contacted them before my visit). It was not a very exciting hotel but if you look for a budget choice in this city of Fukui, you can definitely go for Mimatsu.

Not worth it

Reviewed By Jason R

Rooms are fairly old. Other reviews mention an air purifier to remove that smell but ours did not. Service level was acceptable but also impersonal. Not what we were used to in Awara. The baths were pretty decent but we waited until the last minute and were too late to book the family bath area. Entirely our fault there. The biggest disappointment though was the food. Pretty much everything had cooled down and was bland. I suppose thats the nature of buffet style food but even the miso soup wasnt warm enough to drink. The crab was well cooked and tasty but had no red crab miso or eggs. I actually thought that was just a normal feature of crab in the winter around Fukui but I guess not. Either way save your money and go elsewhere. I know we will.
