This was my first time visiting Sarugakyo Onsen, and to be honest, it didn’t feel like there was much sightseeing, but this Accommodation was so wonderful that I’d come back just to stay here again. The staff were all very hospitable, and the food was excellent. The pizza in particular was truly delicious—I ended up eating far too much. I’d love to visit again! Thank you very much.

It was a wonderfully attentive Accommodation. The food was delicious—above all, the rice was outstanding. The grilled fish was cooked perfectly, and the sashimi was fresh and very tasty. I was also very happy with the late-night rice ball and message. Breakfast had a great variety and was exciting as well. Personally, I especially appreciated having rice porridge. It was raining when we left, but thank you for carrying our luggage to the car. You also lent us an umbrella, so we were able to get to the car without getting wet. I forgot something behind, but I can only be grateful for your kind and careful assistance. I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you for letting us relax and enjoy our time there.

I personally love the Genroku-no-Yu bath, though it may not be to everyone’s taste. The route to the annex can be hard to find, so it’s best to ask the front desk for clear directions first.

I looked for a good Accommodation in Gunma, my father’s hometown, to travel with my elderly parents. My husband and I have stayed here about twice before, and I really wanted to come again, so I made a Reservation. The Room, the meals, and the service from the staff are all excellent—this is a truly wonderful Accommodation. One thing only: I knew it wasn’t barrier-free, but moving around inside the Facility was still quite demanding for my father, who cannot walk without a cane. The buildings and atmosphere are so beautiful that I wondered whether adding ramps or handrails might spoil the charm… but it was disappointing to feel that this place may be difficult to use for guests who need assistance with walking. Other than that, everything was truly outstanding, and I would love to stay again. This time we stayed in the Room called “Kanho.”

I stayed one night at Kashotei and had a truly soothing, relaxing time. The cuisine was outstanding—rooted in Japanese food yet incorporating French elements, it was creative and impressed me with unexpected ingredient combinations. As someone who loves tableware, I also found it delightful. The staff were wonderful and treated my elderly parents with warm hospitality. This is an Accommodation I sincerely want to visit again.

This was my first long-awaited trip to Shima Onsen. As we got closer to Shima Onsen, we were greeted by lush, untouched natural scenery… Before checking in to the Accommodation, we went a little further to Lake Okushimako, where the stunning “Shima Blue” surface looked exactly like it does in travel magazines… Everything was wonderful. Kashiwaya Ryokan, located slightly outside the Onsen town area, was outstanding in every way—the Ryokan atmosphere, meals, Onsen, and the view from our Room… The complimentary coffee served in the library… All of it was excellent. And just as we reluctantly checked out and were about to step out of the entrance, there was a charming farewell with bubbles and “Thank you”… It was hospitality through and through—far beyond complete satisfaction—it made us think, “We want to come back!” I truly believe this is an Accommodation that lets you fully enjoy Shima Onsen. We would love to return again in a different season.

At check-in, we were able to make a Reservation for the private bath and choose drinks for dinner. Dinner had gentle yet well-balanced flavors and was excellent. The local craft beer was also very easy to drink.

I will definitely visit again! A Ryokan that gets repeat guests always trains their staff to greet every guest warmly. Every time you pass by, they greet you. This is a common trait of highly-rated places I’ve visited before. Greeting every time you pass by—it’s a way to ensure they never forget the spirit of hospitality! Please stay just as you are now! I once revisited a place after a year, and the service had become so terrible that it was disappointing and even infuriating. This was truly the best day ever! Thank you so much.

I thought it was a very nice Ryokan. Even though the building and Facility are understandably old, all of the staff were wonderful. Dinner had a wide variety of dishes, and for my growing son they kindly provided extra white rice in addition to the final rice course, which we really appreciated. The attendant was also very kind, and we enjoyed our meal at a relaxed pace. There were several baths and we couldn’t try them all, but I’d definitely like to come back and enjoy them again. One small downside was that the shower temperature in the bath area wasn’t consistent, but overall it was a great stay. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I traveled with my elderly mother. The “Forest” Room was located very close to the front desk, making it easy for her to get around and very comfortable. The Room was so spacious that my mother even complained, “I’ll forget where I put everything,” but the changing area and bath were also roomy, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Because it truly feels like being in the middle of a forest, we could open the windows morning and evening (there were sturdy screens, so no insects came in) and spend time without air conditioning. Also, my mother—who says her feet feel cold even in summer—was delighted to have floor heating. When I asked if we could have milk for the coffee in the Room instead of creamer pods, they kindly went out of their way to bring a large container from their sister property. I was truly impressed! The meals were carefully prepared with elaborate dishes, and everything—from local vegetables to meat—was delicious. The portions were just right. For my mother, the rice seemed a bit firm, but I assume that is part of the head chef’s preference; I enjoyed it very much. In Gunma Prefecture, where it can be hard to find an Accommodation with few stairs for an elderly guest to stay comfortably, we found a real gem! We would love to visit again.

This Accommodation offers heartfelt hospitality throughout—and you even get to stay in a rare, registered cultural property building. As you step through the entrance, you’re welcomed by a traditional architectural space with a high-ceilinged hall and the gentle smolder of firewood in the irori hearth. The cuisine is prepared with great care, with no shortcuts. There are three Onsen baths, with fresh spring water welling up directly into them, and separate time slots for men and women so you can relax at your own pace. We chose a Plan without an in-room toilet or bath, but it was a wonderful Room filled with the soothing sound of the river. Thank you very much.

After descending from the mountains on the second night of my two-night stay in Shima Onsen—somewhere I had long wanted to visit—I stayed at this Accommodation. It is located in a quiet area, and the beautiful views of the Shima River from both the Room and the baths, along with the excellent spring quality and comfortable temperatures, made me very satisfied. The three large public baths were each enjoyable. The proprietress’s picture-story show and talk, which she has continued for 33 years, were skillful, fun, soothing, and highly recommended. The staff were also polite and very pleasant, providing attentive hospitality throughout. This is one Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

Once again, we had a truly relaxing stay, thanks to the warm and welcoming staff and the Room. However, one of our highlights here is the dining. Last time, every detail felt so thoughtful and considerate that it was comforting from the inside out. This time, that level of care didn’t come through as much, and it felt a bit more “wild,” which was disappointing. That said, the staff’s hospitality is genuinely wonderful.

This was our fourth stay, and I visited with my wife. Each time, we stayed in a different Room. Not only the Room, but the entire Accommodation is truly spotless and impeccably maintained. Every meal is delicious, no matter what you choose. We visit various high-end Ryokan and other places every month, but this Accommodation has a relaxing atmosphere you don’t find elsewhere, and we really love it. I can tell all the staff put in tremendous effort. I’m not good with words and can’t express it well. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We will be back.

We were very satisfied with the Room, the service, and the meals. Because there are only a few guest rooms and the number of guests is limited, we only ran into other guests at mealtimes, which gave it a strong sense of privacy and made it even easier to enjoy time with a partner or family. Since it is a newly opened Hotel, we could feel the staff’s fresh enthusiasm, which made us feel relaxed and happy. The Room was clean, and we were able to take it easy since Netflix and YouTube were available. Also, as it was a birthday celebration, we ordered a cake via Cake.jp; it was delivered to our Room right on time, and we also received congratulatory words. Since the Room has an open-air bath, there was an unexpected incident when a large spider appeared, but that also became a good memory. Shima Onsen itself was wonderful as well, but thanks to how well-equipped the Hotel is, it made for an even more special birthday celebration. Thank you very much!

Baths and meals at Hanamaru. Sorry for traveling solo, but I’d love to visit again and again. I was truly able to relax. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your hospitality. This Accommodation is reasonably priced, yet very well maintained. Both the Room and the common areas were clean, and I was able to relax comfortably. I stay mainly to unwind, so if there are unpleasant smells or anything unclean, it’s disappointing. But this Accommodation was attentive in many ways, and I had a very pleasant stay. Cleanliness really matters. The Onsen also suited my skin very well. Since the water seemed mild and not distinctive, I didn’t have high expectations, but it simply made my skin feel smooth, and you can fully experience the good quality of the spring. Lastly, I understand that at this Accommodation Fee it can’t be helped, and while all of the meals were normally tasty, for someone like me who enjoys drinking alcohol, there was a high proportion of carbohydrates such as udon and rice, and dinner felt more like a standard meal overall; I felt there were fewer side dishes that work well as snacks with drinks. I’ve shared various comments, but overall I was satisfied. Thank you again for your hospitality.

This was my second stay here. As with my previous visit, the two older gentlemen who greeted us were very pleasant, and their warm welcome made us feel truly appreciated—excellent hospitality. Above all, I think Sarugakyo Hotel’s service is outstanding. There wasn’t a single staff member who made me feel uncomfortable. The person who assisted us during meals was from Nepal; perhaps they are still getting used to the work, but their sincerity really came through and I never felt uneasy at all. I ordered oolong tea, but when they repeated the order they said orange juice—so I corrected it, yet what arrived was orange juice (laugh). That was completely acceptable. It was delicious! The next morning, they greeted me with “Thank you for yesterday,” which made me happy. Thank you as well. Both dinner and breakfast were very tasty and generously portioned—we were completely satisfied. The Onsen was kept extremely clean and felt wonderful. Thanks to everyone at the Hotel, we had a very comfortable stay. We also really enjoyed playing table tennis. We will definitely come back again.

Although the exterior looks a bit old, once you step inside it is wonderful, and the front desk staff were very pleasant. The open-air bath in the Room was extremely relaxing, and I ended up using it many times.\nUnfortunately, we ran into a typhoon on the way back and had to leave without seeing anything, but I would like to visit again when the weather is good.

Not only were the cleanliness and comfort excellent, but I also felt this was a wonderful Hotel thanks to the staff’s attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and teamwork. As we were traveling with my elderly parents, I contacted the Hotel in advance about a few concerns, and they kindly offered helpful suggestions. On the day of our stay as well, they showed such considerate care and checked in on us so often that I almost felt sorry for troubling them. Although it was a Saturday in the last week of May and I’m sure there were many guests, it was very quiet. There was no crowding at meals or in the baths, and our Room—spotlessly clean—was very comfortable. Even my father, who usually uses an Onsen only once wherever we go, said “My body feels so much lighter!” and went in twice—both evening and morning. We were also very grateful for the private bath. My sister had been avoiding Onsen because she was self-conscious about her surgical scars, but thanks to this stay she was able to enjoy an Onsen again for the first time in a long while, which made her truly happy. Thanks to Itoen, our whole family was able to relax comfortably and have a wonderful time together—we are filled with gratitude. I will strongly recommend it to friends as well! Thank you very much.
