forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.7 out of 5 (2,517 reviews). Guests note that both the main building and the annex baths have children's chairs and baby baths, and one family reported enjoying the onsen with their 18-month-old with peace of mind. Others praise the dining venue for its wide aisles and tables, which made for a calm meal even with children along. On the other hand, one guest reports knocking a foot against an iron step between the washbasin area and the toilet in the room, so families with small children should take care.

Overview
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Kounkaku is a large hot-spring inn in Naruko Onsen, with Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and Western-style rooms across the main building and the annex, 116 rooms in all. You can soak in two different types of spring water: Kuroyu in the main building and Shiroyu in the annex. The changing room of the communal bath has a baby bed, the bathing area has baby baths, baby chairs and a diaper bin, and the restaurant has baby food along with children's tableware and chairs. An extra futon for a child under 3 can be arranged for 2,200 yen with advance notice. There is no private-hire bath and no in-room dining.
Rooms
There are 116 rooms in total, with Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and Western-style rooms spread across the main building and the annex. The room list on Rakuten Travel shows nine types: Economy Single with an in-room bath (14 sq m, 1 guest); Economy Twin with an in-room bath (36 sq m, 1 to 2 guests); Economy 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room with an in-room bath (1 to 3 guests); Economy 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room without an in-room bath (1 to 3 guests); Economy 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room without an in-room bath in the annex (1 to 3 guests); Economy Japanese-Western twin with 8 tatami mats and an in-room bath in the annex (53 sq m, 1 to 5 guests); Standard 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami room with an in-room bath (1 to 4 guests); Standard Japanese-Western twin with 7.5 tatami mats and an in-room bath (36 sq m, 1 to 5 guests); and Standard 15-tatami Japanese-style tatami room with an in-room bath, in either a single room or multiple rooms (1 to 6 guests). Tatami rooms make it easy to put a small child down to sleep, and larger families can choose the Standard 15-tatami Japanese-style tatami room for up to 6 guests or a Japanese-Western twin for up to 5. The 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms in the annex have no bath. The annex is a separate building that is not connected to the main building indoors, so you step outside to get between them - something to bear in mind with children, as the weather affects the walk. Check-in and checkout are handled at the main building's front desk.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are both buffets in the restaurant on the second floor of the main building. There is no in-room dining. Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., though these hours may change depending on how many guests are staying that day. A live kitchen about 20 meters long serves freshly made dishes. The restaurant has baby food, which staff will bring if you ask, along with children's tableware and chairs. The seating is laid out with plenty of room. Dinner time slots cannot be reserved in advance; guests give their preferred time in check-in order, so if you want your children to eat early, checking in early is the safer bet.
Baths and Onsen
There are two types of spring water - Kuroyu in the main building and Shiroyu in the annex - and both a communal bath and an open-air bath are available. The communal baths and open-air baths are open from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.; hours may change for cleaning, and the open-air baths may close in bad weather. The baths do not swap between men and women. The annex's Shiroyu comes from a source of about 83 degrees Celsius, so the water runs bracingly hot - keep an eye on the temperature when bathing with a small child. Children aged 7 and over or 120 cm and taller are asked to use the bath matching their own gender, so there is an upper age limit on bathing together with a child of the opposite gender. There is no private-hire bath and no sauna. The bathwater in the guest rooms is not onsen water. No towels or bath towels are set out in the bathing areas, so you need to bring the ones provided in your room. Handrails are installed, but there are steps, so watch your footing. The changing rooms have free lockers with keys. Guests with tattoos may use the communal baths only if the tattoos can be completely covered with the cover seals specified by the inn, which are sold for a fee. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may enter the tubs is not stated, so please confirm in advance. Staying guests can also bathe free of charge at the group property Masuya and the public bathhouse Takinoyu; just let the front desk know when you set out to try the different baths.
Family-Friendly Features
The changing room of the communal bath has a baby bed, so there is a place to change clothes and diapers. Bathing-area equipment includes baby baths and baby chairs as well as a diaper bin, and the changing-room amenities include diaper disposal bags. Children's yukata, slippers and chanchanko (padded sleeveless jackets) are available to borrow. Guest categories are adults (junior high school age and over), elementary school children, children under school age with futon bedding and meals, and children under 3. Children aged 3 and over who have not yet started elementary school fall into the paid category with meals and futon bedding. Adding a futon for a child under 3 costs an extra 2,200 yen and must be arranged in advance. Humidifiers are available to borrow. There is no microwave, so if you need something warmed up, ask at the front desk. There is no coin laundry on site; the front desk can point you to a nearby shop. There is a barrier-free toilet, but the inn's FAQ notes that the building as a whole is not barrier-free and that there are steps at the entrances to rooms and to the baths, so it is worth checking in advance if you plan to move around with a stroller. Inside there is a free table-tennis corner and a manga corner, and card games, go and shogi can be borrowed from the front desk free of charge. The karaoke room and the game corner carry separate charges. There is a convenience store about a 5-minute walk away.
Access
It is about a 15-minute walk from Naruko-onsen Station and about 40 minutes from the Furukawa IC on the Tohoku Expressway. A shuttle car is available from JR Naruko-onsen Station, with a shuttle contribution of 100 yen per one-way trip. There are 140 parking spaces, free of charge and with no reservation needed, which suits families arriving by car with plenty of luggage. Snow and icy roads are expected in winter, so drivers need studless tires or similar equipment. Check-in is at 3 p.m. and checkout is at 11 a.m. Rakuten Travel lists the last check-in as 7 p.m., while the inn's FAQ says there is no set final time and asks you to get in touch if you will arrive after 6 p.m. Free Wi-Fi is available around the first-floor lobby. A bathing tax applies separately, and a bathing fee or accommodation tax set by the local government may be added as well.
