Around Kushimoto Dam × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

We were satisfied with everything—the guest room, the private open-air bath, and the restaurant. The retro furnishings in the room were truly comforting, and we were impressed by the thoughtful care in the meals. We enjoyed a level of luxury that exceeded the price. This is a Hotel we would love to visit again. The Hotel staff were also wonderful. As I get older, I find peace in an Accommodation like this. I hadn’t had many chances to visit Chichibu before, but this was an excellent Hotel as a base for visiting Mitsumine Shrine, Chichibu Shrine, and Hodosan Shrine (the Chichibu Three Shrines pilgrimage), as well as sightseeing in Nagatoro. Thank you very much.

The view from the Room was wonderful, and the meals were delicious—everything was excellent. If I had to mention one thing, I would have liked a little more time to use the bath at a relaxed pace. I will visit again in a different season. Thank you for your hospitality.

Being able to check in and out via smartphone was great, as it made the process easy and stress-free. We stayed for two nights in a dog-friendly Room, and it was very clean both days—we were extremely satisfied. The night view was also beautiful, though the trees blocked it slightly; considering the property is surrounded by nature, it was acceptable. Overall, we were very satisfied, but if I had one suggestion, I felt breakfast could have been a bit more filling.

The hot spring water quality was excellent, and since bathing is limited to up to five guests at a time, we were able to soak and relax at our own pace. The soothing sound of the river was very calming, and we could unwind while feeling close to nature.

This was my first trip to Chichibu and Nagatoro. The lobby was gorgeous, filled with green marble. The Room was luxurious, spotless, and wonderful. The restaurant had a great view, with Mount Hodosan faintly visible—truly spectacular. The food was exquisite, including a Japanese-style hamburger steak made without the four harmful ingredients and fresh sashimi. The large public bath was spacious and very clean. The water temperature was on the hotter side, which warmed me up and helped me relax. I also appreciate that you took photos for us at the end. It’s a Hotel I would love to stay at again.

The open-air bath on the balcony felt absolutely wonderful. When I soaked in the hot water at dawn, I could hear Japanese bush warblers singing. Being able to look down over the dam lake was perfect for someone who loves high places. The meals were also very delicious, but it would have been even better if there had been a dry white wine option. Next time, I’d like to come again during cherry blossom season. Thank you very much.

The best value in Chichibu—an Onsen is available next door. The sheets are fluffy, and the Facility has been beautifully renovated. The Room is clean, stylish, and a Japanese-Western blend, and each Room is named after a famous author. I stayed in the Junichiro Tanizaki Room. Meals are bring-your-own; you can use the refrigerator and kitchen. Cup noodles and ice cream are also available for purchase. It was extremely comfortable, and I would definitely stay again!!! Check-in and check-out are self-service; the key is kept in a locker at the front desk.
