In my opinion neither city has good onsen. There is traditionally no natural onsen in Tokyo and Osaka. Only thanks to modern drilling technology it is nowadays possible to get hot spring water from depths of 2 kilometers or so in the city centers. Among the better "artificial onsen" are Oedo Onsen in Tokyo and the Spa World in Osaka.
For "real onsen" you have to leave the cities. Kusatsu Onsen is my recommendation for an onsen side trip from Tokyo, and Arima or Kinosaki for a side trip from Osaka. Onsen are best enjoyed by staying overnight at an onsen ryokan.
You can look up details on all the above mentioned pages by using this website's search engine.

And in my town Kyoto, There is quite welknown hot spa on 2 area 1) KURAMA-KIBUNE northern part of Kyoto 2) ARASHIYAMA west kyoto.
One nice thing about ARASHIYAMA is that they have open air Foot-Bath inside the Station!! Please Google the train company KEIFUKU DENTETSU
