This was my second stay. Last time, I stayed in the designated cultural property Room above Koike Tobacco Shop; this time, I stayed in the kura-style Room (No. 103). The high ceilings, spacious layout, and large hinoki bath were wonderful—the fragrance was amazing—and the interior design was superb. With no TV or clock, it truly felt like being in another world, which was fantastic. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept soundly. Breakfast was delicious—absolutely delicious—and all the staff were very courteous and attentive. Thank you very much. The dreamlike time passed in the blink of an eye. Next time as well, I would love to stay in a kura-style Room—preferably No. 102. Please keep NIPPONIA just as it is, and I look forward to visiting again. P.S. I bought Takayamaen’s tea right away. The barley tea with grapes is delicious, and I also purchased many other kinds of tea. I even became friendly with the shop owner lol. It was a fun trip with lots of new discoveries. Thank you for the Diamond Member gift! It made me so happy—it felt wonderfully substantial too.

This was my second stay, following last year. The lobby, Room, and large public bath are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The large public bath is excellent. The Onsen leaves your skin feeling smooth, and I especially liked the open-air bath with a very hot option. Breakfast featured many Chichibu specialties and was healthy, so I could eat plenty without feeling heavy—while still offering hearty options for those who want a more filling meal. I’d love to stay here again when I visit Chichibu.

We thoroughly enjoyed the all-you-can-drink craft beer server. The open-air bath overlooking the bamboo grove was also wonderful: during the day, you can hear cicadas, and at night it has a majestic, Bamboo Cutter’s Tale atmosphere. The meals were excellent—both dinner and breakfast offered a great variety of dishes. The bar had many cocktails and Japanese whiskies, all delicious. Thank you to the bartender.

In a small Japanese-style room, I enjoyed the sweetness of local vegetables while imagining that merchants from long ago might have stayed here alone as well. Perhaps because of the terrain there is no railway, which may help create the town’s calm atmosphere. On the way back, when I was kindly given a ride on the bus toward Chichibu, I was deeply impressed by driving that was more considerate than anything I have ever experienced. Even on mountain roads, the driver’s smooth control never caused sudden tilts in any direction, and he consistently kept safely to the left edge of the road to allow oncoming traffic to pass. I wasn’t able to thank the driver when getting off, so please allow me to express my gratitude here.

I stayed here for an event and a shrine visit. The front desk staff were extremely friendly, and that alone made the heat and fatigue melt away. Their explanation of the Room location and the check-out procedure was also very clear. The Room had wooden flooring, was very spacious, and comfortable to stay in. The bathroom did not have a shower curtain like a typical unit bath, so when showering in the tub I took a little care not to get the outside wet (it was fine). Two sets of amenities were provided, and it was helpful that disposable chopsticks were included as well. I used one toothbrush and one pair of chopsticks. Thanks to that, I slept well. Check-out is done by dropping off the key. It was such a good Hotel that I almost regretted not being able to say “thank you for your help” in person. If I have the chance, I would like to stay again.

I stayed here with friends to make lasting memories. Thank you for assisting us with the parking in the heavy rain. The Onsen, the bed, and the breakfast buffet were all excellent. Thank you very much. The view from our Room on a slightly sunny morning was also wonderful.

This Business Hotel offers covered parking for motorcycles. The location is excellent—Seibu-Chichibu Station is truly just a short walk away, and you can also walk to JR Chichibu Station. The breakfast buffet staff were very kind, which was great. This time, I stayed here while touring Chichibu by motorcycle for the pilgrimage and to see the Kawase Festival, and thanks to that I had a wonderful trip.

Although it’s a bit far from the station, the surrounding area is residential, so it’s very quiet. The Room was even more spacious than it looked in the photos, and having a balcony made it very comfortable. Some Reviews mention that the bathroom is small, and it is indeed smaller than in a typical Business Hotel. However, I’m not very tall, so it didn’t bother me. Rather, I liked that the toilet and bath are separate, so it felt like using them at home. At check-in, I asked a few questions such as whether my luggage could be stored after check-in, and the front desk staff answered everything politely, which left a good impression. Overall, this is a Hotel with high satisfaction, and if I stay in Chichibu again next time, I would like to use it.

This was my first stay. The views of the Chichibu townscape from both the Room and the dining area were wonderful. In the main building, Rooms on the 2nd floor have a roof below that reduces the sense of openness, so I recommend choosing the 3rd or 4th floor if you stay in the main building. For dinner, I had a Japanese-Western kaiseki-style course; since the price difference is minimal, I personally preferred it over the buffet. Overall, it’s a Hotel with great value for money.

Thanks to the Accommodation’s consideration, we were upgraded to a larger Room. The meals were delicious and we were very satisfied.

A quiet countryside Accommodation in the satoyama hills. The owner is a former top-division sumo wrestler, Kenzan, and the property is decorated with many sumo photos and wrestlers’ handprints. In the open-air bath styled like a sumo ring, you can hear birds singing and enjoy a cool breeze through the trees—it’s wonderful.\n\nThe meals also use local ingredients and are very enjoyable. The rates are very reasonable as well. Highly recommended, and the hostess is warm and welcoming.

One night, two days, for one person. I was picked up from Yokoze Station by the Shuttle Service on a rainy evening. With a typhoon forecast (it turned out to be just normal rain), the Accommodation was quiet. I headed straight to the bath, and from the open-air bath the trees felt close; the gentle sound of rain was beautiful. It was a wonderful soak surrounded by nature. At dinner, I enjoyed warm sake along with beautifully prepared appetizers and warm river fish dishes. The carrot tofu and sobagaki tempura were unlike anything I’d had before—truly delicious. The vegetable tempura and wild boar were also outstanding. I was completely full after the mountain-vegetable mixed rice and handmade udon, and then dessert left me even more satisfied. Even so, I ordered late-night snacks in my Room—miso potatoes, grilled rice balls, and fruit liqueur. Strangely enough, despite being so full, I woke up hungry in the morning. Another rainy open-air bath before breakfast made it an amazing one-night stay. Thank you very much. If possible, it would be even better if non-smoking Rooms were available for solo guests as well—I wouldn’t mind paying an additional fee. Everyone at the Accommodation was very kind; thank you for such a wonderful time.

The place was very spacious, and the kids could relax and play freely. It’s an older house, but it was thoroughly cleaned—everything was spotless, comfortable, and pleasant. The amenities were well stocked, and I was surprised they even had phone chargers. There were lots of board games, which the kids absolutely loved. Because it’s a large house, it felt chilly in the mornings and evenings, but a fan heater was provided so we had no trouble. The kitchen had everything from cooking utensils to tableware, and we could use the drum-style washing machine as much as we wanted (detergent provided). It was an Accommodation with truly thoughtful touches throughout. We’d love to stay again.

When traveling for business, I usually stay at a Business Hotel, but this time I chose a Ryokan. The environment was more than sufficient for solo business use, with a relaxing bath and room atmosphere. What surprised me the most was the breakfast—it exceeded my expectations and left me completely satisfied. Everything I ate was delightful, and it made me feel like I stayed at an excellent Accommodation after a long time. Since it’s not a large Ryokan, I highly recommend it to those who want to spend their time quietly. If there’s one thing to note, it would be that the TV could be slightly larger... I’ll definitely visit again if I have another chance to go to Chichibu!

Thank you for your hospitality. I stayed for one night because I was drawn by the promise of “delicious food.” With meat, fish, and vegetables, it wasn’t flashy, but I was very satisfied with the simple flavors and generous portions! Since it was a Room with an open-air bath, I could soak anytime—I ended up going in four times. It was a shame the stars weren’t very visible. It would be amazing to watch the stars from a warm open-air bath on a cold winter day. I’d like to stay again.

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 stayed in early March. The Accommodation had a wonderful atmosphere, and the Room was very lovely. Amenities and services (usage guidance, drinks, breakfast, etc.) were well provided, so I didn’t need to bring much luggage. The walls were thin and I could hear things like sneezing from the floor above (it was very windy and the pollen was intense), but I had read the notes at the time of Reservation, so it didn’t bother me. However, because the walls and windows are thin, I personally felt quite cold. Blankets were available at the Accommodation, but if you are sensitive to cold, it may be best to dress warmly. The location is also convenient—close to Seibu-Chichibu Station and Ohanabatake Station—and you can enjoy street food along Banya Street, so I recommend staying here if you plan to explore the area. I would like to stay again if I have another opportunity.

The room was beautifully renovated, preserving the charm of a traditional old house while adding modern comforts.

After a quick check-in, I was able to enter the Room smoothly. The Room and shared areas were clean, so I felt comfortable and at ease. The shared space had card games and playing cards available to borrow, and I enjoyed playing with friends. There were three shower rooms, so I didn’t have to wait, which was great. I’m glad I could stay comfortably at an affordable price.
