Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Higashiyama Grand Hotel

This place was an EXPERIENCE! We had to walk up the steep mountain hill to get there. And there were scary bear signs! And there was trickling rivers and flourishing vegetation everywhere! And then we made it up there, it was like a haven. They got massages, massage chairs, gambling, a store, good breakfast/dinner buffet, and a nice onsen. The view is amazing, if you get a good room - if you don't, take the elevator up to the observatory and watch the sun set on the horizon of the green mountains while you are getting a massage.

The dinner and breakfast buffet was great, with many different options. The hotel is a bit far up into the mountain, so I recommend having a car to get there. The onsen was great after spending the day exploring the area. However, be aware that you can’t use the onsen if you have tattoos.

Food was great and Onsen is marvelous. Definite will stay again. Although it is a very short walk but the hotel provides Shuttle bus between car park.

Breakfast and dinner were both buffet style. We arrived late for check-in but made it in time for the 7pm final slot. Breakfast starts early, last slot at 8:15am.

Good size many amenities
