Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Kounkaku

It was an affordable Accommodation, and I was satisfied with my stay.

Stayed during the New Year period with a family reservation for one night including breakfast and dinner. Adding an extra person for dinner as a day trip via phone was very helpful. The accommodation cost was reasonable, yet the quality, variety, and timing of the buffet (with small French-style plates, steak, creative Japanese dishes at night, and dozens of Japanese and Western options in the morning) were excellent. Among all buffet-style ryokans I've stayed at so far, this one ranks number one for delicious meals. The facility has a retro charm but is well-maintained and clean. The onsen on the 6th floor offered stunning views of snowy mountain landscapes in the countryside—truly breathtaking—and left my skin feeling smooth. I also appreciated the free service of cute yukatas. There were three ping-pong tables available by reservation with names listed, which made waiting times very convenient. Despite the cold weather, staff members guided us warmly at the ryokan entrance—it was truly touching! I'm glad I visited!
