Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Kounkaku

We stayed at this hotel as a base to ski at Onikoube for Powderhounds.com. We were hoping that Naruko Onsen would be a cute little onsen town, and whilst this hotel and a few other hotels were aesthetically nice, the village itself looked really tired and run down. The room had plenty of space and it was nice that it had an ensuite bathroom. The main 6th floor onsen was the better looking onsen and we thought we were accustomed to hot onsen, but this one was particularly hot. There was a small outdoor onsen with fake bamboo screening. The indoor onsen was nicer, with its views across the town & mountains.

We also checked out the annexe onsen which was rather uninspiring. The buffet meal choice was extensive which was good, but the food hall lacked a bit of ambience. We stayed in a smoking room because that was all that was left, and as you’d expect for non-smokers, it smelled pretty bad. Who'd have thought there was still such a thing as a smoking room in a hotel? One night an absolute racket was going on downstairs – it ended up that our room was right above the seafood bashing prep room (our translation might have been a bit off!) so we had to ask if they could only bash the fish during non-sleeping hours!

Nice stuff ☺️

バイキングの食事は種類も豊富で美味しく頂きました。お風呂のシャワーの出が悪い所もあり使いづらかった。

施設は古かったですが、のんびり過ごせて快適でした。

Dinner extraordinary, surprisingly good

Noisy

紅葉渋滞で辿り着くのが大変でしたが 夕食ビュッフェはお値段の割に

温泉の温質が良くお肌がツルツルします。 お料理もとても美味しくこんなにお値打ちなのに料理が豪華で良いのかと思うくらいです。 しゃぶしゃぶや焼き立てのクロワッサンも美味しかったです

our first impression is staffs who help us at parking. Then we are so surprised it has massage chair in our room. and we impressed in Large Dinner shabu and Tempura ... so WOW. and several thing in Breakfast. We love all that in this hotel and onsen is very well. Clean and nice. We love them all. All staffs are so cute even in garden.

everything is so good. i don't know what should be changed.
