  • Imagine Hotel and Resort Hakodate
  • Recommendations for Affordable Hotels/Onsen Ryokan with All-You-Can-Eat Crab?

I'm planning a trip to treat my parents, who love crab. We're planning to go this winter. Could you please recommend any hotels or onsen inns where we can enjoy an all-you-can-eat crab buffet? I'm looking for a "hidden gem" (anaba) hotel that is inexpensive, serves brand-name crab, and is quiet with fewer tourists so we can relax.

  • hot spring hotel with all-you-can-eat snow crab

  • This hotel offers all-you-can-eat snow crab. It has been recently renovated, so the rooms and baths are new and comfortable. The ocean is right in front of you, and you can hear the sound of the waves from open-air bath and your room, which will help you relax. What's more, you can stay here for a very reasonable price. The tropical botanical garden in front of the hotel has its famous monkeys, which are a lot of fun.

  • Enjoy crabs and Breathtaking view open-air bath

  • Our stay at Imagine Hotel & Resort Hakodate exceeded our expectations! The biggest attraction was the all-you-can-eat buffet, where we could enjoy as much fresh crab as we wanted. We were able to enjoy the crab, packed with meat, to our heart's content and were extremely satisfied. The open-air bath on the rooftop offered Breathtaking view of the Tsugaru Strait, and it was wonderful to relax while listening to the sound of the waves. onsen(hot spring) was also very pleasant, and helped to soothe our travel fatigue. It was conveniently located, about a five-minute taxi ride from Hakodate Airport, and the warm hospitality of the staff was also impressive. It was a memorable resort experience that crab lovers will love!

  • Panoramic Ocean Views & Spacious Open-Air Baths

  • My stay at Oedo Onsen Monogatari Hotel Suiyotei was fantastic. The open-air bath offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Atami's cityscape and Sagami Bay from its hilltop location, and the night view was particularly spectacular. The spacious onsen completely melted away my daily fatigue. For dinner, I opted for the all-you-can-eat crab plan, and the fresh, sweet crab was served generously – it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating! Beyond the crab, there was a rich selection of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, and the live kitchen was a fun addition. My room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, making for a lively and enjoyable stay.

  • Infinity Onsen & Crab Feasts in Nikko

  • My recent stay at TAOYA Nikko Kirifuri, an Oedo Onsen Monogatari resort in Tochigi Prefecture, was truly excellent. The infinity onsen offered absolutely stunning views! From the open-air bath, I could take in the majestic nature of Nikko, and the sunset views were particularly breathtaking. The onsen itself was incredibly spacious and refreshing. Dinner was a lavish buffet with a wide selection of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, including many local specialties, and everything was incredibly satisfying. They even had an all-you-can-eat crab option! My room was stylish, modern, and very comfortable, providing a relaxing space.

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Atami

8-3 Sakimicho, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0019

  • Popular, Lively Hotel Near Atami Beach

  • I recently stayed at Oedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Atami and absolutely indulged in their all-you-can-eat snow crab! Beyond the crab, the buffet offered a wide variety of seafood and meat dishes, which were all delicious. The hotel is conveniently located near Atami Station and the beach, with a lively shopping street right outside. I enjoyed great ocean views from both the lobby and my room. While the open-air bath didn't offer much of a view since it's in the city, I still had a relaxing time in the onsen. The vibrant atmosphere and excellent service made for a fun and perfect family trip!

  • Enjoy a soak in the hot onsen(hot spring) and eat all-you-can-eat crab in Atami at a great price at Oedo Onsen Monogatari!

  • Many of Oedo Onsen Monogatari group's locations offer all-you-can-eat crab, but if you're traveling from Tokyo, we recommend Atami. It's just a seven-minute walk from Atami Station, and has Japanese-style rooms that can accommodate up to seven people, making it ideal for groups of friends as well as three-generation family trips. Available only during the winter months of November to February, there's a plan that allows you to eat the whole crab, not just the legs, all you can eat. You can also enjoy nigiri sushi and locally caught fish dishes in addition to crab. If you're planning on drinking, you can also add an all-you-can-drink alcohol option for an additional fee.

  • There is an all-you-can-eat plan where you can enjoy the whole snow crab.

  • How about a stay at onsen(hot spring) inn "TAOYA Nasu Shiobara" in Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi Prefecture?

With the top-tier plan, you can enjoy a whole authentic snow crab, from the meaty claws and legs to the rich crab roe. The open-air observation bath offers a panoramic view of the lush Nasu-Shiobara mountains and onsen(hot spring) town, making this a highly recommended onsen(hot spring) inn.

  • This hot onsen(hot spring) resort hotel offers all-you-can-eat snow crab.

  • Although it's a little far from Nasu-Shiobara Station (a 40-minute bus ride), this hotel is well worth it. If you choose the meal plan, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat snow crab at the dinner buffet! It's also all-inclusive, meaning that not only alcohol at dinner, but also drinks in the lounge, late-night snacks, and other in-house dining options are almost all included, so you can eat and drink without worry. They also offer a wide selection of Japanese dishes, including tempura, sashimi, and nigiri sushi, and you can even eat as much Häagen-Dazs ice cream as you like! They also offer sparkling wine for breakfast. The open-air observation bath, surrounded by the Nasu mountains, offers Breathtaking view view. Enjoy traditional Japanese activities like table tennis and karaoke during your stay at a onsen(hot spring) Ryokan (Japanese inn).

  • Besides all-you-can-eat crab, menu is abundant!

  • We recommend Oedo Oedo Onsen Monogatari in Naruko Onsen, Miyagi Prefecture. This is a wonderful hot spring inn that offers a gorgeous Buffet with all-you-can-eat crab, as well as raw tuna and scallops, all served in a live kitchen. While the food tends to grab your attention, this is also a recommended hot spring inn with a large public bath and open-air bath where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Naruko Onsenkyo and the wide sky.
