Myosen Waraku Rankeiso

I stayed here in August. As an Accommodation affiliated with the Japan Association for the Protection of Secret Hot Springs, it was incredibly quiet—and I was surprised when the inn suddenly appeared in such a secluded setting.Surrounded by greenery, I was soothed by the sound of the river and insects.The main building has a wonderful sense of history, while the Room had been renovated and was very comfortable. Overall, it isn’t overly luxurious, but it feels cozy and relaxing.The mineral-rich Maki no Shimizu spring water could be enjoyed even inside the Room, and it tasted great.For bathing, you can reserve Mountain Bath (Deep Bath / Stone Bath) for private use depending on the time slot. If you want to secure your preferred time, I recommend checking in early.The large public bath that’s available anytime also had a pleasant open-air bath. However, in summer there are horseflies around, so it may be hard to fully relax.The Onsen water quality was excellent—my skin felt silky smooth afterward.Meals were served in a private dining room; both the sliced raw carp and meat dishes were generous portions. The breakfast rice porridge cooked with hot spring water was especially outstanding.They also offered many local sake options, all of which were delicious.There is a smoking area near the front desk, and at certain times I noticed a lingering cigarette smell. Overall though, I was very satisfied.I’d love to stay again. Thank you very much.

This is our favorite Ryokan, and we have stayed here many times. With Shuttle Service from Tsubame-Sanjo Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen, it’s easy to reach even though it feels like a hidden hot spring retreat. The meals are outstanding, and we are always completely satisfied. As a member of the Japan Association of Secluded Hot Spring Inns, the Onsen is, of course, wonderful as well. My husband and I are already talking about when to visit next. We will definitely be back.
