Rakuten Travel is holding the “Rakuten Travel Autumn SALE” through October 20, offering great deals on fall and winter travel reservations. By combining multiple coupons currently available, you can book eligible hotels and hot spring inns nationwide at up to 30% off.
The “Oedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Minoh Kanko Hotel” (1-1 Onsen-cho, Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture), which opened on October 1, is currently offering a basic buffet plan that includes one night’s stay and two meals. For a room occupied by two people, the price before discounts starts at 22,000 yen per person.
The former “Oedo Onsen Monogatari Minowa Kanko Hotel” has evolved into the higher-tier “Premium” series and undergone a major renovation along with its adjacent day-use hot spring facility, “Oedo Onsen Monogatari Minowa Onsen Spa Garden.”
At the observation bath—exclusively for hotel guests—you can enjoy the “Tenku no Tanayu,” which offers panoramic views of the Osaka Plain from an elevation of approximately 180 meters, and and at the adjacent Spa Garden, guests can now experience the “Mirai Human Washing Machine”—a cutting-edge bathing device that garnered attention at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai World Expo—as a private bath available by same-day reservation.
A new “Premium Lounge” has been added to the hotel, where guests can enjoy cold draft beer and soft drinks at any time—whether after check-in or after a bath. Meanwhile, the Spa Garden features facilities the whole family can enjoy, including a kids’ play area, a relaxation space, a sauna, and a hot stone bath.
The dinner buffet features Kansai specialties such as niku-sui, Akashi-yaki, and kayaku-gohan, as well as sirloin steak and tempura prepared right before your eyes. In addition, autumn and winter limited-time menu items—such as the “Ginjo Hot Pot with Winter Yellowtail and Root Vegetables” and the “Chocolate Orange Trifle”—are also included in the all-you-can-eat selection.
