Around Kodama Country Club × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

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.

I previously stayed here with my 4-year-old daughter, and while I was a little nervous about our first trip with a young child, we had a wonderful time—delicious meals and a clean Room, and we were very satisfied throughout our stay. This time, my husband was able to join us. The meals were different from last time but just as delicious as ever, and since we chose the largest Room, my daughter was thrilled. What made me especially happy was that the washing area in the women’s bath has been expanded! All of the staff were very kind, and we had a comfortable stay. We will definitely stay again as a family.

I stayed for one night, and it was a wonderful Hotel from start to finish. The Room uses a PIN code system with no key, so it was very convenient to go out without having to carry a key around. In the evening, alcoholic drinks were all-you-can-drink (free). It was a shame the large public bath didn’t have an open-air bath, but it was clean and the alkaline Onsen water was excellent. Breakfast offered a great selection of both Japanese and Western dishes, and I was very satisfied. I was also impressed by the thoughtful services—being able to choose your pillow, and free coffee and drinks available at all times. What makes this Hotel stand out is how they thoroughly reduce operating costs within what guests can reasonably accept—such as shortening breakfast hours to about two hours, asking guests to help with tidying up, using PIN codes instead of keys, and not handing out unnecessary amenities—and then use those savings to enhance guest services like free drinks and alcohol overall. I felt this approach significantly increases satisfaction. I admired how well they strike that perfect balance where you feel like thinking, “They do so much for us—so we can do this much in return.” I would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed with six people, including infants. The Hotel features a spacious, open lobby, and the Room was also clean. Best of all, being able to enjoy the Onsen in the Room was amazing. The water felt silky and slightly slippery, leaving our skin soft and supple. All of the meals were delicious, especially the vegetables and curry. The staff were very kind to our young children, making it an easy and comfortable stay. We would love to visit again.

I stayed here while visiting temples and shrines around Kumagaya and Fukaya, then heading to Nagatoro. The Room was clean, and the bath area was spacious—overall a very nice Hotel. Breakfast was also delicious. I would gladly stay here again.

This was my first time staying at a container Hotel, including a Multiple Night Stay here and another one in Kofu. The air conditioning worked properly, and the Room was clean and tidy. There’s no large public bath, of course, but I’m fine with the unit bath—I like relaxing in the tub while watching videos on my phone. Coming and going from the Room is easy without worrying about others, and since the parking lot is right in front, loading and unloading luggage is simple. It was actually quieter and more comfortable than a typical Hotel. Meals are limited to frozen bento only, so it feels very basic. If your main goal is simply to rest your body, it’s more than sufficient.

Our first Shinkansen trip together as a couple. We chose this place because we wanted to go somewhere surrounded by nature. It was close to the station, and while it had a touch of the past, it felt nostalgic and relaxing. The breakfast buffet was delicious—we both ate so much we thought we overdid it. The Onsen was wonderful, and we were very satisfied, wondering if it was really worth this price. We’d love to stay again. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

It had been a while since my son and I had the same day off, so we stayed here after work the day before our holiday. Since we might have gotten stuck in traffic on the expressway and arrived late, I had set a later check-in time, but we ended up arriving earlier than expected. The male staff member at the front desk was extremely kind and courteous. There was a bath in the room, but we took advantage of the large public bath instead. Since it was late, it wasn’t crowded and we could relax and unwind. Breakfast was buffet-style, with more than enough variety for me. On our way to Kusatsu and Ikaho, I was looking for a Business Hotel where we could check in even late at night and enjoy a large public bath, so this location was easy to find and very convenient. The other staff were friendly as well, and I’d like to stay again. Highly recommended for an after-work stay.

This time, I stayed at Trail Inn Hanazono Inter for a business trip. It was very convenient with a home improvement store, supermarket, McDonald's, and Sukiya nearby. Despite being along the national highway, it was quiet and I had a pleasant one-night stay. I will use this accommodation again for my next business trip in this area. Thank you very much!

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.

Five middle-aged men stayed here together. The building itself has a historic feel, but the interior is well maintained and clean, so it didn’t feel particularly old. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying in both quantity and quality, with a great balance for enjoying drinks as well. The white rice cooked over firewood at the end of the meal was especially delicious. We’d love to return next time with our family.

The Room was clean and comfortable. Surprisingly, the frozen meals were delicious. There is also a convenience store next door, so you can stay without any inconvenience.

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.

It’s affordable, clean, and there’s nothing to complain about. The light snack service is also a nice touch. I’ve stayed at several R9 locations, and they’re all new and comfortable. If they can keep this level of cleanliness even as time goes by, I’d love to keep using them.

I chose this place because it’s close to my workplace—Done, and it was the right choice. The sound of passing trains is pleasantly soothing! I’ve used a similar container accommodation in Tatebayashi, but this one feels calmer. There were so many frozen meal options that I couldn’t decide (lol). I’d love to stay again.

Perhaps we were lucky with the timing, but we received an upgrade. There is a large public bath and the Facility amenities are well equipped, so this price offers excellent value for money. The Room was also clean and comfortable. We didn’t have time and chose No Meals Included, but next time we’d like to book a Plan that includes meals.

We visited to see the moss phlox at Hitsujiyama Park. The Accommodation offered a free stargazing tour, and we had a wonderful time. Every staff member was truly hospitable. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I was disappointed by the limited number of dishes. In particular, the menu didn’t pair well with bread.

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.
