Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Hotel Fugetsu

It’s close by, but I only had memories from decades ago of the “Hell Tour”…This time, we took it easy—three ladies (well, three middle-aged women)—stayed at Fugetsu, and walked to explore five of the “Hells” from there.Check-in was at 3:00 p.m., but we arrived a few hours early…They let us park, and we asked the staff cleaning around the entrance about the Hell Tour and nearby sightseeing spots…They stopped what they were doing to answer our questions and welcomed us with smiles.The three of us kept saying, “Their service feels so nice.”The Onsen was great—and entry to the neighboring “Yume Tamatebako” was also free—so we enjoyed all three: the rooftop open-air bath and two large public baths. Very satisfying!Meals were also excellent—both dinner and breakfast had a wide variety of dishes, and we were very happy! (There were plenty of welcome drinks as well, including alcohol, all free.)I even gained weight over two days (lol).It really felt like staff training is thorough in every way.The next day, checkout was a relaxed 11:00 a.m., and even chatting with the housekeeping staff—with their great sense of humor—made us feel right at home!This little trip was a big success.

We visited during our 30th wedding anniversary last time, and it was such a wonderful experience that we decided to come back for a family trip. Our whole family has become fans of Fugetsu. The service at the front desk, restaurant, and shop was excellent, and the food was delicious. This time, we were able to enjoy the rooftop open-air bath that was under renovation during our previous visit, which made us even more satisfied. We left saying, "Let's come back again." Thank you very much!
