Onsen Minshuku Takano-ya

At check-in, the host greeted us very calmly and kindly, which immediately made us feel at ease.The Room had the basic amenities (towels, bath towels, toothbrushes, and yukata), and the bathroom vanity had razors, cotton swabs, a comb, and a hair dryer.We were also able to use the private bath (depending on the time slot) right away with perfect timing.I’m not sure about public transportation, but traveling by car was not inconvenient at all.There is a convenience store within walking distance; the only downside is that there aren’t any restaurants nearby.I’d like to stay again.

Amid all the large buildings around, it’s nice that this place sits quietly and feels cozy. It has a charming, authentic atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and easy to talk to. The staff are energetic and their service is smooth as well. As other Reviews mention, the building does show its age, but the bath is exceptionally good—far better than a typical unit bath. It’s spacious and seems to be kept clean.The meals (breakfast only) are filling too, with healthy side dishes centered around Uonuma-grown rice.
