A historic Ryokan, relax in the ultimate Onsen. Experience a blissful moment.

Moriaki Ryokan, as its name suggests, is known as "Ujō no Yu" and offers the particularly rare "Golden Onsen" with free-flowing hot spring water in Ikaho Onsen. Founded in the first year of the Meiji era, this renowned hot spring with a 1500-year history is known for its gentle spring quality, soothing the hearts and bodies of its visitors. There are various bath options, including open-air baths, large communal baths, private baths, and rooms with onsen, all of which can be enjoyed with free-flowing hot spring water. It is also known as the inn loved by the poet Noguchi Ujō, and there is a space where you can feel his works and history. Additionally, it is in an excellent location, just a 3-minute walk to the stone steps street, making it convenient for strolling around the onsen town. An evening stroll in a yukata is also recommended, allowing you to experience a different onsen atmosphere from the daytime. The guest rooms range from standard types with a Japanese ambiance to rooms with onsen, offering a variety of types. In particular, rooms with onsen allow you to enjoy the "Golden Onsen" in a private space. For meals, we offer kaiseki cuisine using local specialties and seasonal ingredients, including the brand beef "Jōshū Beef" that Gunma is proud of, allowing you to enjoy the best taste of the day with heartfelt preparation. The hospitality at Moriaki Ryokan lies in warm service and the creation of a space filled with Japanese ambiance. The high quality of its meticulous hospitality is evident from the many repeat guests. The facility is also equipped with barrier-free accommodations, ensuring a safe and comfortable stay for everyone. Offering an unforgettable experience for visitors, with the free-flowing "Golden Onsen," historical background related to Noguchi Ujō, convenient location, diverse room types, cuisine utilizing local ingredients, and heartwarming hospitality.

  • Close to the stone steps, we were able to leave our luggage before check-in and enjoy exploring the area. The bath water temperature was just right, so we could relax and soak for a long time. Of course, the hot spring quality was excellent. The changing Room was also very clean and comfortable. The meals were filling, and we were very satisfied. I forgot to mention this to the staff when checking out, but the TV remote in the Room didn’t work—possibly due to dead batteries—so we operated it using the buttons on the TV itself.

  • Although the building itself feels a bit old, the interior of the Room has been renovated and well maintained, so we were able to stay comfortably. The bath was also a wonderful tea-brown Onsen unique to Ikaho. Some of the staff were young foreigners, but their service was polite and it was clear they are well trained. Thank you for accommodating my request in advance that I do not do well with wheat flour by leaving out dishes such as okkirikomi. If possible, I would have been happier if something could have been added in place of what was removed (for example, tofu), rather than having only a plain soup pot. Lastly, thank you to the very friendly proprietress for greeting us after our meal and for taking photos for us at the entrance. At Ryokan I have used recently, it seems less common for the proprietress to come out and greet guests, so this was especially nice. Please stay healthy always. We were able to leave Ikaho Onsen with a very good feeling.

  • [Important] Notice Regarding Food Allergy Accommodations

    For Guests with Food Allergies

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us.
    To ensure that guests with food allergies can enjoy their meals safely, we would like to share our approach and policies regarding allergy accommodations.

    At our facility, we prioritize the safety of our guests and strive to prevent any incidents related to food allergies. However, due to the diverse nature of allergic reactions and the possibility of trace allergen contamination during food preparation, it is challenging for us to completely eliminate all risks in our kitchen environment.

    We kindly ask for your understanding and request that you make the final decision based on your individual circumstances.

    【Basic Policy on Allergy Accommodations】
    - Regarding Allergen Ingredients:
    For certain specific allergens (e.g., shrimp, crab, shellfish), we will do our best to provide alternative ingredients when solid items can be removed. However, we may not be able to accommodate all ingredients or cases where even trace amounts could cause severe allergic reactions.

    - Processed Foods:
    For allergens contained in items such as broth, binders, or seasonings, it may be difficult for us to verify all ingredients; therefore, we are unable to guarantee allergen removal in these cases.

    - Cooking Environment:
    All cooking is conducted using shared utensils and within a common kitchen space. While every effort is made during preparation, there remains a possibility of trace allergen contamination during the cooking process.

    【Breakfast】
    Our breakfast service is primarily offered in buffet style with a wide variety of dishes served in one location. Due to this setup, it is difficult for us to completely prevent cross-contamination of allergens between dishes. For safety reasons, we regretfully cannot accommodate allergy-specific requests at breakfast.

    【For Guests with Severe Allergies】
    If you have severe allergies or multiple dietary restrictions due to allergies, we recommend bringing your own safe-to-eat foods as a precautionary measure prioritizing your safety. We are happy to assist by warming up brought-in foods using a microwave upon request—please feel free to let us know if needed.

    For further details or inquiries about specific concerns regarding food allergies during your stay with us, please contact us by phone directly.

  • 【Important】For Guests Planning to Use Various Tickets or Public Assistance Programs

    At our facility, various types of vouchers such as Furusato Thank You Vouchers, gift certificates, product vouchers, travel vouchers, as well as public subsidies and grants can only be used at the time of payment before settlement.
    For reservations with prior payment, we cannot process refunds or reimbursements for the use of these vouchers or systems after the reservation has been completed.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • 【Important】Regarding Smoking
