  • Imagine Hotel and Resort Hakodate
  • Please recommend some cheap hotels and hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn) that offer all-you-can-eat crab!

I'm thinking of taking my crab-loving parents on a trip to show my appreciation for them. We plan to go in the winter, so please let me know if there are any hotels or hot spring resorts where I can enjoy an all-you-can-eat crab buffet. Please let me know of any hotels with low accommodation rates, where I can eat brand-name crabs, and where there are few tourists so I can spend a quiet time.

Imagine Hotel and Resort Hakodate

3-1-17 Yunokawacho

  • All-you-can-eat delicious Hokkaido crab!

  • There is an all-you-can-eat plan for Esashi red snow crab. In addition to boiled crab, you can also try crab soup with delicious crab stock. This buffet serves delicious Hakodate cuisine, and there is an open kitchen where you can eat freshly made tempura. There are many other dishes besides crab, so I'm sure you will be satisfied. There are four hot springs, all of which are 100% natural hot spring. There is an open-air bath on the rooftop with a panoramic view of the Tsugaru Strait! Bathing in the hot springs while feeling the sea breeze and the sound of the waves is sure to be an unforgettable memory. There are baby products and board games available for rental, making this a hotel that can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults.

TAOYA Wakura

Wakura machi Yobu 91-1

  • There are multiple plans that allow you to eat crab.

  • This hotel offers two plans: an all-you-can-eat plan for real snow crab claws and legs only, and an all-you-can-eat plan for the whole real snow crab. If you want to enjoy the crab miso as well, we recommend choosing the all-you-can-eat plan! The all-you-can-eat plan is only available for a limited time, so please check and make a reservation. The hot spring is a one-of-a-kind infinity hot spring with Breathtaking view view overlooking the Noto Sea. Another attractive point is that it is all-inclusive, so you can use it with peace of mind. Many languages are available, including English, Chinese, and Korean, so foreigners should be able to stay without any problems. The rooms are spacious and there are tatami rooms, so you can spend a relaxing time while feeling the Japanese atmosphere.

TAOYA Nikko Kirifuri

1535-1 Tokorono

  • A hot spring resort hotel at an altitude of approximately 1,000m

  • You can spend an extraordinary time surrounded by magnificent nature at a hotel located inside a national park. There is a shuttle bus, so even if you can't use a car, you can access the hotel without any problems as long as you can access JR Nikko Station or Tobu Nikko Station. There is a shuttle bus timetable on the official website, and no reservation is required, so there is no need to prepare in advance. (As of July 2025, the shuttle bus costs 110 yen one way.) The food is a creative gourmet Buffet, and the all-you-can-eat crab is an additional order. You can add it from 5,780 yen. You can drink as much alcohol and soft drinks as you want, so I think you will be satisfied. The hot spring is an infinity type, so you can experience the sunrise in the morning and the beautiful starry sky at night while feeling one with nature. I'm sure it will be a great memory!

  • This is a very satisfying Ryokan (Japanese inn) with excellent facilities!

There are various plans, such as an all-you-can-eat whole crab plan, an all-you-can-eat claws and legs plan, and a plan for a whole crab, so you can choose according to your needs, which is a great deal! The basic dinner plan is delicious, and they also have seasonal dishes. The breakfast Buffet is satisfying for both Japanese and Western food lovers. There are rooms with beds and rooms with tatami mats. As it is part of the Oedo Onsen group, there are plenty of facilities in the building, such as a manga corner and a table tennis corner, so you will never get bored!

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!

TAOYA Nasu Shiobara

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

  • How about a stay at the hot spring inn "TAOYA Nasu Shiobara" in Nasu Shiobara, Tochigi Prefecture? The all-inclusive nature of this inn is what makes it so appealing, but it also offers an all-you-can-eat real snow crab option as a special order. With the highest-end plan, you can enjoy a whole real snow crab, so you can enjoy not only the meaty claws and legs, but also the rich crab roe. From the open-air observation bath, you can get a panoramic view of the lush Nasu Shiobara mountains and the hot spring town, so it's also a highly recommended hot spring inn.

Hotel Wellseason Hamanako

1891 Kanzanjicho, Chuo-ku

  • All-you-can-eat crab and grilled eel.

  • This is a resort hotel in Tateyamadera Onsen that boasts hot springs. I think it depends on the season, but this hotel had an all-you-can-eat crab dinner Buffet plan. In addition, they also had all-you-can-eat kabayaki eel, a specialty of Lake Hamana. The dessert was made right in front of us, and we were very satisfied.

  • A hot spring inn where you can enjoy the famous hot springs of Sanin and all-you-can-eat crab.

  • This hot spring inn is part of the Oedo Onsen brand and is located in Misasa Onsen, Tottori Prefecture, which boasts a high concentration of radium.

  • At Oedo Onsen Monogatari crab is often featured at Buffet.

  • I recommend Oedo Onsen Monogatari. Oedo Onsen Monogatari, where crabs are caught, sometimes has an all-you-can-eat crab menu. This is held every year in the winter when crabs can be eaten, so I think you'll be able to eat it this season too!

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Higashiyama Grand Hotel

  • Aizu-Wakamatsu Hotel Amidst the Mountains

  • If you're looking for all-you-can-eat crab, Oedo Onsen Monogatari is definitely recommended. I stayed here with a friend on a historical tour in Aizu-Wakamatsu, and it was great. We used the convenient shuttle bus from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station to the hotel (reservation needed). The large public baths and open-air baths were incredibly spacious and liberating, allowing us to fully enjoy the onsen experience. Dinner was a wide-ranging buffet, with local dishes and fresh items from the live kitchen being particularly impressive. The all-you-can-eat crab was also fantastic, letting us indulge to our heart's content.

  • 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.
