Koushinetsu Hot Spring Area × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan - 14Page Number

This Accommodation is attached to a roadside station. There are Rooms in the main building, and there are also trailer houses behind it; one of the four units allows guests with dogs. It seems you can enjoy BBQ except during the winter season. The reception staff’s kindness and smiles were especially memorable. There were no dog amenities in the Room. Since it is a dog-friendly Accommodation, I didn’t expect too much, but it was kept very clean—by far the cleanest dog-friendly place I’ve stayed at so far. The Room even had an open-air bath and underfloor heating, so we were very comfortable. We could also use the on-site bathing Facility for free. The bath with Hokutolite warmed me through to the core, and it was well cleaned too. There were quite a few day-use visitors as well, which shows how popular it is. We didn’t eat here this time, but dinner seems to be available at the dining hall from 5:00 PM. I’d like to try it next time. Done! Thank you very much.

Although slightly dated, it was a lovely Hotel. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and even though it was outside regular hours, they kindly gave a ride to the station for one person who had to leave early. The only disappointment was not being able to use the open-air bath with a great view. The baths switched between men and women the next morning, but I couldn't use it due to lack of time in the morning.

The ski slopes are immediately to the left as soon as you step outside the entrance, so it was great that we could change into our gear in the Room and head straight out. The Onsen was also very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were wonderful—everyone greeted us with a smile and kindly answered our questions. The building is old, but it was clean and didn’t bother us. It snowed until early morning, then cleared up around 9 a.m., making for perfect conditions.

The open-air Onsen bath in the Room was truly relaxing, and I used it many times. We chose the small-portion Plan for meals, but it was more than enough to leave us completely full. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The thoughtful touches unique to a small Ryokan—such as a toothpick holder made from chiyogami paper—made the hospitality genuinely comforting. The proprietress and all staff were also very pleasant. Also, since I have trouble with my legs, I stayed in a barrier-free Room, but the shampoo and other amenities in the shower area were placed quite low. If possible, I would like them to be set a little higher. Thank you very much.

It was so cool and refreshing that I almost forgot the summer heat of the city. I think I would have been even more satisfied if there had been a coffee service. I look forward to staying here again!

I had used the Onsen several times as a day trip, but this was my first time staying overnight. The toothbrush provided in the amenities was a bit hard, but that’s easy to solve by bringing my own next time. Other than that, I had a comfortable stay with no complaints. My Room had a view of Mt. Jonen, but since I arrived at night I couldn’t see it then. I enjoyed Mt. Jonen the next morning, but I left in a hurry and couldn’t take my time to fully appreciate the view, which was a bit disappointing. Next time, I plan to check in while it’s still light and enjoy everything properly. I’d like to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed at this Accommodation during the summer season.\nThe entire building had undergone major renovations, and it was very clean, making for a comfortable stay.\nThe food was delicious, and the chef-made omelets at the breakfast buffet were outstanding.\nIn addition to the large public bath, there was also a private family bath, and I could use the free massage chairs. After bathing, it was wonderful to cool off in the evening on the balcony on the third floor while enjoying a beer.\nIn winter, staying in the Ichinose area offers better access to the ski resort, so I would love to stay here again if I have another chance during summer.

The property located within the ski slopes offers excellent access. While the age of the building and facilities cannot be denied, the onsen, with its Yunohana, is quite pleasant. All the staff members are very nice. Perhaps it's the nature of the area, but it was very good.

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.

I was worried because the Reviews I checked in advance were low, but I’m very satisfied. The Room was spacious, and the view toward Zenkoji Temple and the night scenery were amazing. The amenities were well stocked, and both the open-air bath and indoor bath were great. Since it was that time of year when the Room heating wasn’t on, it was cold, so I contacted the front desk and they brought me a fan heater. There were some stains and dirt on the carpet, and the amenities didn’t feel particularly luxurious, but at this price it’s more than enough. It seems like meal ratings are very low, but since my stay was No Meals Included, I can’t comment. If you go down about 10 minutes there’s a convenience store, and beyond that there’s an AEON mall, popular supermarkets, chain restaurants, and ramen shops—so even with No Meals Included there’s no problem. I’ll stay here again next year!!

We stayed with a group of six and were very satisfied! The space was great, and the bathroom was excellent!

Excellent access to the Shiga-Kusatsu Road. The Room was spacious and relaxing. The Onsen was very pleasant. The staff were kind and made us feel at ease.
