Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Unzen Toyokan

The Onsen was spacious and relaxing, and the wide variety of meals tempted us to eat more than we should.The building is old, but well maintained, and we felt truly refreshed by the warm, smiling service and thoughtful hospitality.With baby-friendly bathing facilities and dining options, we felt at ease and would like to visit next time with three generations of our family.

I wanted to stay at Unzen Onsen, so I searched for a Hotel where I could stay overnight. This was one of the few Hotels in Unzen Onsen that also accepts solo guests, so I decided to stay here.There is a shop inside the building selling souvenirs and more, and I bought some souvenirs there. It was very well stocked.There are large public Onsen baths on B1 and the 5th floor. The large bath on the 5th floor has an open-air bath, and since it’s on the top floor you can enjoy the view outside while soaking—it felt wonderful.I chose a Plan with dinner and breakfast included, so I enjoyed two meals. Dinner was buffet-style, with an incredible variety of dishes such as Obama champon, hot pot, lemon steak, squid and shrimp nigiri sushi, sashimi including tuna, and tempura like shrimp, bamboo shoots, and lotus root. Everything was delicious.Breakfast was also buffet-style and included Shimabara somen noodles, marinated tuna rice bowls (zuke-maguro don), and sea bream broth ochazuke. The flavors were gentle yet very tasty. I was completely satisfied with both meals—and ate until I was full.The front desk staff and everyone else were very cheerful and helpful, which made my stay truly comfortable. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.
