It was a wonderful space. I’ve also uploaded photos, so I hope you’ll take a look. I was amazed at how beautifully this place has been designed—what could otherwise feel a bit small is made to feel so special. My wife, our 3-year-old child, and I stayed here and were very satisfied! The room was very clean, and our child was thrilled, saying, “The top bunk is my spot!” The sink area and bath were comfortable with everything we needed, and the TENTIAL sandals were also very comfortable to wear. I think this place will change people’s image of a “garage house hotel.” One thing I hope will improve going forward is the food. Dinner looked great—the plating and tableware were beautiful and enjoyable visually. On the other hand, the overall flavor felt like it could use one more step up. In particular, while the venison main dish was prepared in a very approachable way, those who love game meat might find it a little lacking. I was also personally disappointed that there wasn’t a glass red wine option to pair with the venison main. That said, since it was such an easy-to-eat dish, perhaps the by-the-glass selection was chosen intentionally to match that style. And breakfast— this is something I really hope you improve. The rice had dried out and become hard, which honestly made me sad. Personally, I feel breakfast can greatly change the overall impression of a Hotel stay. Because this Facility is so wonderful otherwise, I strongly felt you should put more effort into breakfast. Also, while the female staff member in charge of dinner came across as highly professional, at breakfast it felt like operations still weren’t running smoothly. In the end, after-meal drinks took quite a while to arrive and we had to wait. The families on both sides of us seemed to be in the same situation as well, so I hope this will be improved going forward. I’ve written various things about the meals but—above all—this place itself is truly lovely. I think it’s definitely worth staying at this Hotel. There was also a small issue during our stay this time; however, your response was very smooth and pleasant. Including how you handled an irregular situation like that, my personal evaluation is very high. As an aside: when my child and I woke up early for a walk in the morning—we actually found a stag beetle! My child was overjoyed as well; including that experience too, it became a wonderful memory.

Set in a quiet location surrounded by a tranquil forest, it feels very relaxing. The Room has a retro vibe. The refrigerator and toilets are shared, but they are well organized and easy to use. As for Room security, the door locks with an old-style push-button knob. Please keep valuables with you. The sheets for the futon are changed daily. Everything is very clean and fluffy. The lighting feels a bit dim, so it would help if it could be brighter. The bath water is clear brown, with a relatively high pH. Leaning against the main pillar of the pyramid-shaped building (inside the bath), you might feel some kind of energy?? It’s refreshing. Both morning and evening, the bath is not crowded. I hope the 95-year-old owner is doing well. If the timing works out next year, I’d like to stay again. A hands-off Accommodation that’s just right for me.

Last year, we had to cancel the Reservation just before our stay as 2 out of 7 people caught the flu. This time, we could only make a one-night Reservation due to limited Room availability, but it was worth it. The meals exceeded expectations—mini osechi, seafood, simmered dishes, tempura, handmade desserts—all in portions more than enough for big eaters. The rice was very delicious and self-serve style allowed us to enjoy as much as we wanted without hesitation. Breakfast included special tofu and was also very tasty. The bath offered a view of snowy landscapes; the water temperature felt slightly lukewarm but perfect for relaxing comfortably. Although the Accommodation has an older feel to it, everything was kept very clean and tidy. The staff were all kind and welcoming. We wish we could have stayed for two nights!

I have stayed here several times. At check-in, I was informed that the baths were renovated in May this year. One of the two baths has become very beautiful. Additionally, the shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are now provided by POLA. The previously slippery floor is now slip-resistant, and everything including the showers has been updated beautifully. The changing room is also spotless and lovely. I look forward to staying here again!

We chose this Accommodation for our kids, who love buffets. The buffet used plenty of ingredients typical of Gunma Prefecture, which we found really interesting! The manga corner and table tennis were also a hit with the kids!

Everything was wonderful. What impressed me the most was the staff. They were always smiling and did their best to help, which made my stay very comfortable. The meals were delicious, but the rice at breakfast was too firm for me to eat... I think it’s just a matter of preference, but I ended up leaving some (sorry). If I have another opportunity, I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

Everyone was thrilled by the building and the Facility the moment we arrived. After a while, we looked around at what was in the Room, and once we had settled in, we headed to the open-air bath. The open-air bath building also had a sauna and a water server—absolutely fantastic. If I had to say one thing, it would have been even better if there were chairs where you could sit down for a moment after bathing. We didn’t realize until late afternoon the next day that amenities such as towels must be replenished by the day before, which was hard to understand. It’s also inconvenient that everyone’s address and phone number are required for check-in.

Stayed with family on a plan with two meals. - Staff The staff were very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much! - Meals The food was very delicious! No complaints. - Bath The night view from the open-air bath was beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that the shower water pressure dropped a little halfway through. - Room The room was spacious, with air conditioning and a stove in each room, making it warm enough to spend the night. It was a bit inconvenient that there was no washroom or toilet in the room, but it was acceptable. - Thoughts It seemed like there weren't many guests, so it would be nice if it was more lively...

The Facility may look old, but it has a pleasantly aged charm, and it is thoroughly cleaned, so it never feels dirty. The fireplace atmosphere is wonderful! The service was very courteous, and everyone greeted us with a smile, which felt great. When we contacted the front desk, they came to our Room right away—truly attentive. The meals were very generous and we couldn’t finish everything, but we also enjoyed the game meat. The bath was well cleaned, and the open-air bath was especially relaxing with a view of the night sky!

The biggest highlight is, without a doubt, the very spacious Room. We stayed as three generations of our family. We brought our own ingredients and had fun cooking dinner together, and since there is a natural Onsen, we enjoyed bathing many times and fully experienced an extraordinary getaway in such an open space. The staff were foreigners, but even without speaking English we managed to communicate somehow, and they were kind. Some amenities and tableware were missing, but when we asked, they provided them. This was our second stay, and we’d love to come again with the family! Thank you very much.

A nostalgic Showa-style Ryokan where you take off your shoes at the entrance! I think just changing the carpet here would dramatically change the overall atmosphere. The bath is a natural hot spring with a high content of metasilicic acid, so your skin becomes smooth and moist even without soap - wonderful! The tsumire unkai nabe for dinner was exquisite, and I was completely absorbed in it. The tamago kake gohan and soba mizu kake for breakfast were also delicious, and I was impressed by the abundant use of local ingredients, including vegetables. Thank you very much.

The facility is old and not an Onsen, but it is located right in front of the ski resort, and the compact feel of the facility made skiing quite convenient. Also, all the staff were very pleasant. I stayed for two nights, and since the breakfast menu changes slightly, it doesn't get boring. For dinner, one night was a buffet and for an additional charge on another night we had Western cuisine, which was satisfying.

This was my third visit, but it was my first time experiencing rainbow trout fishing and firewood chopping. I was surprised that such valuable experiences, which could easily be offered as optional paid activities, were included in the original Accommodation Fee. The foil-grilled rainbow trout I caught myself was absolutely delicious! The staff were incredibly kind, spoke warmly with smiles, and their gentle demeanor created a soothing atmosphere. When I couldn't figure out how to use the BBQ grill for dinner and the charcoal went out once, the staff kindly assisted me, for which I am very grateful. Also, the breakfast the next morning was amazing—everything tasted fantastic! It was unfortunate that the outdoor bath couldn't be used due to renovation work, but I definitely want to stay here again next time.

Considering the balance with the price, the cost performance is excellent. However, while the hot spring source is hot, the bath is a bit lukewarm. It might be fine in summer, but I thought it should be a bit hotter in winter.

Thank you for taking care of us for two nights and three days. We were very satisfied with the bath and the meals. Also, the stargazing was amazing—we were moved to see a sky full of stars that you can’t see in the city. If we had to mention one thing, it was quite hot, so we would have liked air conditioning. A blower and a fan were not enough. Also, the filter on the back of the blower was clogged with dust, so we cleaned it. Aside from these two points, it was a satisfying Hotel. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

The bath: It would have been better if it was cloudier, but I’m still satisfied. The scale was not working properly, but I apologize for not informing the front desk. Meals: They were delicious. Room: It was small, but I appreciated the handmade cheesecake. The Shuttle Service was also helpful. Thank you!

I want to eat Hida beef! I want to enjoy sake while watching the snow! I want to relax in an onsen! All my wishes came true. I was satisfied with everything: the food, customer service, onsen, overall cleanliness of the property, and the warm atmosphere. I will use it again.

On this occasion, we stayed here to celebrate our grandchild’s 20th birthday. The moment we opened the Room door, the two of us were amazed—it was a surprising maisonette-style Room. And then another surprise: we were astonished and truly moved by the towel art. It was a truly wonderful Room. Everything was wonderful, and the staff’s service was excellent as well. We are planning to stay again next year with our daughter and our grandchild’s family. Thank you very much.
