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.

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

Second time here simply because of the family room, but won't come again. Staff make you feel like a stranger.

Reviewed By 1966Jamo

We stayed here 5 years ago because it had a family room with karaoke, ping-pong, Nintendo, massage chair, etc and the room could sleep 8 people. The food was OK, not great and the service was not overly friendly, but it was a good way for 8 people to enjoy the hot spas and some evening entertainment together. We went back this year because we'd heard a few things had changed and we wanted the large room again. The service simply made you feel like you're a hassle rather than a patron; e.g. I'm a large person with big feet, so finding a large pair of scuffs is impossible, yet they don't want you walking barefoot or wearing outdoor thongs. I simply wore their wrath while walking around barefoot. The food was much better, but the standout again was certainly the room, although with the same number of people, we were made to get a second room to sleep the same 8 people. The hot springs themselves are tiny compared to other Ryokans in the area, especially considering the number of accommodation rooms in the establishment. We had to queue to wash before entering the hot spa. I would not recommend this Royokan if you can book far enough ahead to find something else, or you don't need to accommodate a large family group who wants the separate games room attached. A pity because they could do so much more in the location they have at their disposal.

Good food

Reviewed By centrisleng

Very simple with rooms were of average size with tatami beds and very simple toiletries. There were both indoor n outdoor onsen. The onsen was abit old, the taps at the onsen bath area were rusty and the toiletries were very minimum. But Japanese dinner provided was good, so was the breakfast..
