I searched on a whim and found availability, so I booked without hesitation. The Plan included a private bath, and I chose the reclining bath. Lying back in the open-air bath felt amazing—I could have stayed in forever. The meals were more than I could finish, with plenty of abalone. The rice (white rice) was self-serve, which was perfect for me since I only need a small amount (I feel bad leaving food when the portion is fixed!). The view from the terrace was also refreshing, and I was able to relax with a drink in hand. I’d love to visit again if I get the chance.

We stayed here on our way to Kumamoto, visiting places like Hita and Yume Otsuribashi. Upon arrival, the staff promptly helped us with our luggage. Since there were few guests staying, we were allowed to use the men's onsen as a private family bath. The outdoor onsen had a silky texture that felt like applying lotion to the skin. As our room only had a shower, this was a very appreciated service. The room featured elegant furnishings that must have been impressive when first opened. While some signs of aging were noticeable (like loose closet knobs), everything was kept clean and tidy. The TV was quite small—less than 20 inches—and we found ourselves standing close to watch it at times. Normally, we don't watch much TV during trips, but since the weather was bad and there wasn't much else to do outside, it became a way to pass time indoors. On clear nights, I imagine the stars would be stunningly visible. Dinner consisted of course meals and everything tasted delicious! Although I knew this when making my reservation, breakfast offered only one option: Western-style with fried eggs as the main dish. Since this is not a large hotel catering to many guests, having no buffet is understandable (and I personally don’t prefer buffets). However, I would have loved an option for Japanese-style breakfast. On October 19th during our stay, there was one tree within the property showing autumn colors already turning red. By November, you can likely enjoy vibrant red and yellow foliage. This accommodation is perfect for those looking forward to enjoying onsen and meals here—thank you very much!

I visited with a friend for our once-a-year, slightly indulgent girls’ trip. The Accommodation seems to be located right in front of a local bus stop, but part of the national highway on the bus route was closed due to a landslide and buses were taking a detour, meaning extra travel time from both Takayama and Matsumoto. So my friend drove from Nagoya instead. We took a short break at the Hirugano Kogen Service Area to enjoy the magnificent scenery, and arrived comfortably in just under three hours with no traffic. There were spots with some snow remaining along the sides of the road, but there was no snow on the road itself. Even so, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so winter tires are recommended for peace of mind in case of icy conditions. The building is kept impeccably clean and is wrapped in a pleasant quietness and the lovely aroma of charcoal from the irori hearth—while our Room had no odor at all. We were welcomed into a spacious Room with delicious homemade pound cake as part of their hospitality, and as we chatted comfortably, time flew by. The cuisine was truly outstanding—bringing out the full flavor of each ingredient while presenting combinations and plating unlike anything I’d experienced before, far exceeding its reputation and my expectations. As richer foods have started to leave me feeling heavy or unwell the next day over recent years, I especially appreciated how refined every dish was; it felt like food I could happily enjoy even in my 80s without any heaviness. The chef’s and staff’s genuine desire for guests to enjoy themselves came through clearly. Perhaps because of the high altitude, alcohol seemed to hit more quickly—and since I also wanted to bathe—I unfortunately didn’t get around to trying the local craft beer or sake provided in our Room. Still, stepping outside after the sauna into crisp mountain air with grand peaks right before us felt incredible. The private hot Onsen bath attached to our Room—hotter than expected—with jazz at night and birdsong in the morning was pure luxury: an unbelievably relaxing stay beyond what I could imagine. I’d love to return to experience another season’s cuisine as well—I’ve become a true fan. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

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.

This was my second stay. The staff at the facility were just as kind and attentive as last time, making my stay very comfortable. The food was delicious, and the Onsen was excellent.

The dinner was impressively elaborate. It was incredibly delicious, and I believe staying here was worth it just for the meal.

Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, all very delicious, and we were completely satisfied. I only wished the tempura had been served freshly made, but it was still tasty and satisfying. Breakfast was a healthy Japanese-style meal with many small side dishes that went perfectly with rice, and I was happy to be able to have three extra bowls of rice. The private bath was a bit hot, but we could adjust the temperature. The large public bath was also clean, and we were able to relax in the Onsen. The waterfall shower is right in front of you, and they even provide coins for it—excellent. The balance of food, price, and overall satisfaction was very good. We also received discounted ski tickets, which made our ski experience great value as well. They are flexible with breakfast times for hikers and can accommodate bento lunches too, which I found very convenient. I would like to stay again. Thank you very much.

The facility was operated by a young male and female staff on that day, so I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was surprisingly delicious. The open-air bath offers a view of a birch tree grove, and the lukewarm water allows for a relaxing long soak. Great value for money, and I would love to visit again.

My sister and her husband from the U.S. visited Japan, and we used this accommodation for a one-night trip with our parents. The maisonette had 3 rooms with baths, each spacious, and the first floor featured a kitchen-equipped dining area and a living room with a fireplace, providing ample space even for 7 people. The center lounge offered alcohol-free drinks from morning to evening, which was perfect for those who enjoy non-alcoholic beverages (laughs). The young staff provided excellent service, while the experienced staff offered solid support when needed. We booked quite early at a very reasonable price; although there was an additional fee for early check-in, we opted for it. Please note that lounge access is available only after check-in. One night felt too short—I’d love to stay 2 or 3 nights next time!

It was a wonderful stay. The interior and appliances were stylish, but the view from the window was absolutely stunning. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and had lovely smiles. I will definitely visit again!

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.

I was able to relax and spend time at a leisurely pace surrounded by nature. We could park the car right next to the building, which made loading and unloading luggage very convenient, and we even saw deer along the way. For dinner, I wanted to eat at CAFE Erina, so I chose the hamburger steak. It was delicious and very filling. The next morning, after heading into town to see the morning mist, I enjoyed the private open-air bath, then had breakfast in the Room while taking in the view—it was truly amazing. I’d love to stay again. I stayed in that Room.

Located in a quiet and scenic area slightly away from the Onsen town, the building is old but well-maintained and clean. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious and satisfying. The bath is very warming, and I could feel positive effects on my body. Although bathing is available only until 8 AM, I had no complaints. The 10-tatami Room comes with a toilet, allowing for a relaxing stay with check-in at 1 PM. I would love to visit again.

It was a quiet, standalone Accommodation. All the staff were pleasant, and the food was very delicious. I also liked that they used Okura China coffee cups (perhaps because there is an Okura outlet in Karuizawa). The Room consisted of two rooms—a bedroom and a Japanese-style room—unified in beige tones, giving a neat and clean impression. There were two open-air baths, which seemed like they may have originally been private open-air baths for guest rooms. They were hinoki-wood baths with plenty of hot water. However, it seemed I was the first to use them that day, so the water was extremely hot and I couldn’t soak for long. The large public bath was also free-flowing from the source and had a more comfortable temperature than the open-air baths. Dinner was Western-style. Everything was delicious, including the seaweed salad, assorted terrines, grilled char (meunière), and roast beef. Breakfast was Japanese-style. Overall it’s a good Hotel, but perhaps due to the location there were many stink bugs. There were about 10 dead ones on the window frame in my Room, and I felt they probably weren’t from that day. Also, I noticed some staining on the washbasin. If these two points are improved, I think it would be an even better Hotel. Overall, it’s a Hotel I would like to visit again.

We stayed as a family of three and were very satisfied with the sophisticated soba-based creative cuisine and excellent service. The facility is simple, making the price reasonable, and it was impeccably clean. This is an accommodation we would love to visit again and again.

Enjoy the great nature of Nasu with a sauna & Onsen. The Facility was highly satisfying. We look forward to visiting again next year.

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.

The Onsen was wonderful, and the thoughtfully prepared seasonal cuisine was delicious. The Room was barrier-free, with views of the green mountains from the window. Art panels and lighting featuring Gokayama washi paper were used throughout, creating a very pleasant space. The bed firmness was just right, helping us recover from travel fatigue, and we were able to relax and take our time. We also learned about the Kokiriko folk song at this Accommodation. The staff were friendly and attentive, making this an Accommodation whose hospitality stayed with us. Thank you very much.

I stayed for one night. The Room was a twin in the annex, and I was able to relax comfortably. There is an Onsen in the building that is available 24 hours, so it was great to be able to bathe early in the morning as well. Yukata were provided in the Room, and at night I enjoyed strolling around the illuminated Yubatake in a yukata, which became a wonderful memory. I would definitely like to stay here again when visiting Kusatsu.
