It was very convenient, just a short walk from Dogo Onsen. The building feels a bit old, but the staff’s wonderful hospitality more than made up for it. We really appreciated it! We also used the large public bath in the morning, but the air conditioning wasn’t on... I’m not sure if that was intentional or simply forgotten... It was a hot day, so that was the only thing that concerned us. We were able to cool down properly once we returned to our room, but we would have liked to cool off right after the bath.

This was my first stay. The front desk staff were very courteous. There were complimentary drinks on the first floor, and the ice-cold draft beer was excellent. The Room was spacious and had a massage chair, so I could relax, but I couldn’t adjust the air conditioning—when I tried to operate it, it turned off. I filled the in-room Onsen right away and enjoyed a very pleasant bath, but my parent, who has difficulty walking, said the step was high and felt scary. Since everything is flat around it, I thought a handrail would make it safer. I understand this may be difficult as it is not barrier-free. I was looking forward to dinner. Everything was delicious, including salt-grilled ayu and chicken hot pot, and even the white rice was excellent. The children’s lunch plate was also generous in portion size, and my child happily bit into a big fried shrimp. However, there was one thing that concerned me. My child’s dessert (a mousse-like item topped with fruit) that came with the lunch plate was taken away partway through for some reason. Since I happened to be on the phone at that moment, I wondered why. After that, as if nothing had happened, the removed dessert was served to an adult instead, and jelly was placed for my child. I assumed it had been a mistake, but I believe an explanation should have been given. Taking something once served to one person and then serving it to someone else seems inappropriate etiquette-wise. At the very least, some explanation when bringing out the jelly for my child would have been appreciated. Overall it is a wonderful Accommodation; only the dinner service response bothered me. Thank you very much.

First stay. Everything was average, neither good nor bad. I used the onsen late at night and early in the morning, and it was empty, so I had it all to myself. The water temperature was perfect, and I was very satisfied. It was disappointing that there was no shop and the selection of souvenirs was limited.

We stayed at “Yuzu no Yado Senrien” in Yunogo with our family and our beloved dog! The Room where we could stay with our dog was very comfortable, and we were truly happy that we could enjoy the delicious meals together the whole time. Usually on trips, our dog has to stay behind or we end up spending time apart, but this time our whole family could be together from start to finish and relax with peace of mind. Using the Accommodation as a base, just step out into the Onsen town and you’ll find everything packed into a charming, walkable area—an atmospheric shrine, footbaths to soothe tired feet, and stylish, cozy cafes. We were able to take a leisurely stroll at our dog’s pace and felt genuinely refreshed. With such warm hospitality and the best holiday spent together with the family (and our pup), it became an unforgettable memory that made us think from the bottom of our hearts, “We’re so glad we chose this place.” We also used a private bath inside the property with our dog. It was not an Onsen. It’s a favorite Accommodation we’d love to visit again in a different season!

Although it was a self-service stay in a traditional hot-spring therapy style, the host/manager provided very courteous service and clear explanations, so I felt at ease throughout my stay. In the Room, there was what seemed to be a protective mat for placing luggage (likely to prevent dirt from suitcase wheels), and an extension cord was thoughtfully placed by the bedside—small touches that really impressed me. The yukata selection included many sizes, so each of us could choose one that fit perfectly. I booked a no-meals Plan, but I had no dinner plans, and I was told nearby restaurants could deliver to the Room. Since it was hot outside and I didn’t feel like going out to eat, I really appreciated that (haha). The bath was nicely hot and felt great. I think it helped boost my immunity. Because of the timing, I didn’t run into other guests, so I could bathe comfortably without worrying about anything. Despite the reasonable rate, I truly felt their wholehearted hospitality and was very satisfied. I’d love to stay again next time.

Staying in a Japanese-style room with an Onsen, and even being able to watch the nearby fireworks festival from the window, truly refreshed both my body and mind. I will be a repeat guest.

This was my second visit, and the meals were still delicious. The Onsen was clean, and I could relax and enjoy it at my own pace.

Although there is only one type of spring source—our favorite sulfur Onsen—we enjoyed how the water color differed between the indoor bath and the open-air bath. The open-air bath also offered beautiful fresh green maple leaves, and we would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season. The meals were a satisfying amount for enjoying drinks, with seasonal items as well. The asparagus tempura in particular was outstanding. The building is old, but the Room had been renovated and was clean. From the Room, we enjoyed the garden flowers and fresh greenery.

The facility is old but kept very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The meals were perfectly suited in terms of ingredients and portions for us as an older couple, and they were delicious. The host family was incredibly kind and welcoming. The Onsen was exceptional and even helped improve my joint pain. Plus, having a Japanese-style room with an Onsen at such a reasonable price is amazing! We will definitely visit again. Thank you very much!

The building is old, and the rooms are not very spacious, but the interior is clean and sufficient for a comfortable stay. Guests can use the large public bath at the neighboring Yurari facility. The pool is also available, so bringing swimwear could be a good idea. For dining, famous restaurants like Toyotsune and Ichiriki are located nearby. For Multiple Night Stays, cleaning service is provided every three days; however, towel replacement is available upon request. As a tip, you can access the neighboring public bath in loungewear provided by the Hotel. Since the Hotel slippers are thin, it might be helpful to bring your own from a 100-yen shop. The loungewear is well-made and warm enough even during winter. Parking is available at a paid parking lot right next to the Hotel for 600 yen per night. Please note that fees apply each time you enter or exit. The location of the Hotel may be slightly difficult to find; using Yakiniku Ichiriki as a landmark could help guide you there easily.

Located on a steep hill, access by foot can be challenging. The room provided a calm and private space, allowing for a stay without encountering anyone from check-in to check-out. Although not an Onsen, the water quality was excellent. No insects were seen during the stay, but insect prevention items might create unnecessary concern for some guests. On the other hand, waking up to the sound of birds made for a delightful experience in this beautiful location.

During the Obon weekend, when most places were around 20,000 yen, we were able to stay here at a very reasonable price. Because it was inexpensive, we didn’t expect much from the Room or the meals, but the Ryokan has been renovated and the food left us completely full. The coffee in the lounge after breakfast was a delight. The staff were wonderful and even saw us off when we left. It turned into a very satisfying family trip.

I had a wonderful time at this Accommodation where I could relax and fully enjoy both the Kinsen and Ginsen Onsen. Is the owner a woman who loves Onsen? It wasn’t excessive, but everything I wanted was thoughtfully provided, making my stay very comfortable. I also appreciated the complimentary free-drink service. The large public bath allows up to seven women, but since there are four private baths as well, it never felt crowded. If I may make a small request, it would be great to have tissue paper available in the private baths too, and having both M and L sizes of loungewear in the Room would be helpful so guests can choose what fits best. I would love to stay here again when I visit Arima Onsen. Thank you very much.

We are grateful to all of you for your kindness.

This time we came to Yugawara to see fireflies. It was truly magical and moving. Although this Accommodation is old, the bathroom and water facilities in the Room have been nicely renovated, and there are four private Onsen baths, so you can relax and enjoy them at your own pace. The meals can be served in your Room and were very delicious. We chose the smaller course, but it was more than enough for us seniors. However, perhaps because the building is old, we were quite bothered by noises such as footsteps at night and woke up several times. Next time, we would like to stay in a Room with a private bath. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

■Guest Rooms Very spacious, comfortable, and thoroughly cleaned. ■Hospitality & Service Staff interact with guests at just the right distance. ■Onsen You can enjoy both a clean, lower-temperature bath and a standard-temperature bath. For first-time visitors to Kusatsu, the Onsen may feel quite hot, so this thoughtful consideration from the owner is appreciated. ■Facility Clean overall, and it’s nice that a Lawson convenience store is nearby. ■Dining The meals were not very satisfying for me. The aromas were strong, and I couldn’t fully appreciate the natural flavors of the ingredients. What lowered my rating most was that the wine pairing was very disappointing. I think it would be better to offer around three glasses with wines priced at about 2,000 yen per glass. I felt a significant mismatch between the atmosphere of the Accommodation and the taste of the wine. ■Overall Satisfaction If you decide to dine at other places instead, this is an Accommodation with a high level of satisfaction. Above all, it feels exceptionally clean.

A master’s graduate from Kunitachi College of Music delighted us with two welcome piano pieces and five more before bedtime. The polonaise pasta we requested for breakfast was also delicious.

The cleanliness of the room, which was unexpected from the exterior, made it very comfortable. Except for the lack of an elevator and needing to drive to access the bath, the service was friendly, and I would like to use the No Meals Included Plan again.

Although the property is old, it was kept very clean, and the Onsen was also very good. If I had to mention something, I would have liked a hair dryer in the Room, and the deodorizer placed in the Room had not been replaced. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay again.

I requested the Shuttle Service, and everyone was very kind, including on the phone. It was my first time trying lukewarm bathwater, but afterward my skin felt smooth and I stayed warm—it was a pleasant surprise. Dinner was delicious and far more than I could finish; I wished I had asked for a smaller portion. For breakfast, the miso soup and rice were especially good. The place had a comforting mix of nostalgia and warmth, and it was truly relaxing.
