Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Seiunkaku

I had a very relaxing stay. The building is old, and the air conditioning only has stronger/weaker settings, so you can’t adjust the temperature yourself. However, it was neither too hot nor too cold, and I could tell the Hotel managed it properly. The toilet washlet felt so old I wondered what era it was from, but it worked fine. Everything was well cleaned and there was nothing that bothered me.The drink service in the lobby and the post-bath relaxation area were both excellent and very well stocked. The bath isn’t particularly large, but it had a great atmosphere, and in the open-air bath I could hear bush warblers singing—truly relaxing while feeling the season. The meals don’t have a huge variety, but the sashimi was delicious, and with some local dishes included as well, I was very satisfied. The staff were cheerful and kind, handled everything properly, and made me feel at ease.If I had to mention one thing: I’d like more Shuttle Service pickups from the station. There were only two runs; I arrived at Awara-Onsen Station before 6 p.m., but there was no shuttle bus available, so I took a taxi which cost over 2,000 yen—painful (lol).

We always go to an Onsen during my mother’s birthday month, and this was our first stay here. The Room was clean, and there were plenty of baths, which was great. The meals were almost the same as at other Ooedo Onsen locations. All three generations enjoyed it. My son, who turned 20 this year, seemed to really enjoy the after-bath lounge. It’s a bit far, but I’d like to add it to my list of places to visit again.
