forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.75 out of 5 (1,621 reviews). Guests praise the wide variety at both the dinner and breakfast buffets, which children enjoy too. One review mentions a child being delighted by the medicinal kettle-shaped bath, saying it was like the great cauldron in Spirited Away. On the other hand, some guests report that the rooms are dated, that footsteps in the corridor carry, and that the futons are thin and make it harder to sleep well.

Overview
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Masuya is a ryokan in the hot-spring town of Naruko Onsen, about a 3-minute walk from Naruko-Onsen Station. The guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms of 6 to 14 mats, and there is also a Japanese-Western room with 8 tatami mats and 2 beds, plus a suite tatami room that sleeps up to 9, so families can pick a room that keeps everyone together. Breakfast and dinner are both buffets in the restaurant, where children's tableware and chairs and baby food are available. The communal baths alternate between men and women and include an open-air bath with a view and a kettle-shaped bath filled with medicinal herbal water; children's items such as baby baths and baby chairs are kept there. There is no private-hire bath and no in-room dining, and individually prepared meals for food allergies are not available.
Rooms
The ryokan has 70 rooms in total, mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms. There is the Economy 6-mat tatami room (with bath and toilet, for 1 to 2 guests), the Economy 8-mat tatami room (1 to 3 guests), the Standard 10-mat tatami room (1 to 4 guests), the Standard 12-mat tatami room (1 to 5 guests), the Standard 14-mat tatami room (1 to 7 guests), the New Wing's Superior 10-mat tatami room (1 to 4 guests) and Superior 12-mat tatami room (1 to 5 guests), and the Suite tatami room of 12.5 plus 8 mats (32 sq m, 1 to 9 guests). All of them have an in-room bath. The Main Building also has a Standard Japanese-Western room (1 to 6 guests) with an 8-mat tatami area and 2 single beds, so you can combine beds and futons. The 14-mat tatami room takes up to 7 sets of futon bedding and the Suite tatami room up to 9, which makes it easy for families with several children, or three generations together, to share a single room. The Economy 6-mat tatami room is a compact room with no view, and you cannot request a particular floor. The refrigerator is left empty, so drinks come from the shop or the vending machines. Room amenities include a hair dryer and a toilet with a washing function, plus a humidifier available to borrow, which helps families with children during the drier months. The water in the guest-room baths is not onsen water. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms; it is available around the first-floor lobby.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are both buffets in the restaurant, and in-room dining is not offered. Dinner runs from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., though the hours may change depending on how many guests are staying that day. Meal times cannot be reserved in advance; you give your preferred time in the order you check in, so families who want an early dinner for their children can relax by checking in early. The Ooedo Three-Star Buffet began on April 22, 2026, with seafood shipped straight from the market, live-kitchen sukiyaki-style grilled Japanese Black beef loin, and desserts such as cakes and ice cream. For younger children, the restaurant provides children's tableware and chairs and baby food free of charge. If you would like baby food, please ask a member of staff. There is no microwave on the premises, so when something needs warming up you ask at the front desk. As for food allergies, individually prepared meals are not available, and detailed questions about ingredients cannot be answered. Because the meals are served buffet-style with shared serving chopsticks, tongs and dishes, separating allergens completely is difficult, and ingredients are not individually labeled. You may bring in food and tableware that are safe for your child, so if you are staying with a child who has a food allergy, plan on bringing your own.
Baths and Onsen
There are 2 communal baths, which alternate between men and women. The spring water is a sulfur-containing sodium chloride spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline, high-temperature), with water added, heating applied, and partial recirculation and filtration. Along with the open-air bath with a view, there is Tensho, a kettle-shaped bath filled with medicinal herbal water blended from 11 medicinal herbs, though this medicinal kettle-shaped bath is not onsen water. Hours are 3 p.m. to midnight and 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.; they may change for cleaning, and the open-air bath may be closed depending on the weather. Children aged 7 and over or 120 cm and taller use the bath for their own gender. Handrails are installed in the bathing areas, but guests are asked to take care with steps and level changes, so watch your footing when walking with a child. No towels or bath towels are provided in the bathing areas, so bring the towel and bath towel from your room. The changing rooms have free lockers with keys. There is no private-hire bath, and no baby bed is provided at the baths. Guests with tattoos cannot use the communal baths, unless the tattoo can be covered completely with the cover seals designated by the ryokan, which are sold for a fee. Staying guests can also bathe free of charge in the same Naruko Onsen area, at the group property Kounkaku and at the public bathhouse Taki no Yu; just let the front desk know when you set off on your bath rounds.
Family-Friendly Features
The communal baths keep children's items such as baby baths and baby chairs free of charge, which makes bathing with a child easier. Children's yukata and slippers are available too. Children aged 3 and over fall into a paid category that includes meals and futon bedding, and for a child under 3, futon bedding can be added for an extra 2,200 yen, so please let the ryokan know in advance. Note that adding futon bedding for a child under 3 depends on the size of the room, and a party larger than the room's capacity cannot be accommodated. Free of charge on the premises are the table-tennis corner, the manga corner, and games such as Othello, playing cards and shogi lent out at the front desk; the karaoke room and the game corner cost extra. There is a barrier-free toilet, but the building is not barrier-free overall, and there are steps at the entrances to the guest rooms and the onsen, so take care if you are using a stroller. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may get into the bathtubs is not stated, so please confirm in advance.
