The entire Accommodation is covered with tatami mats, and it was the most Japanese-style place I have ever stayed. It is close to the stone-paved street, so an after-dinner walk was very pleasant.

On the day of my stay, I decided on a whim and the Accommodation kindly accepted me, so I arrived after 8:00 p.m. When I told the man at the front desk that I was heading to a nearby izakaya for dinner, he cheerfully said, “Then please take this,” and gave me drink coupons for the place, lent me an umbrella, and even showed me a shortcut—always with a warm smile. It really put me at ease. The private bath was open until 11:00 p.m., so even though I arrived late I could still relax and enjoy it. I also appreciated having a beer vending machine in the building. The property is old, but clean in an unpretentious way, and I felt comfortable using everything—the Room, futon bedding, and amenities. The other guests also seemed very considerate. Breakfast was great too—the main dish (grilled pork? hot pot?) went perfectly with rice and egg over rice. These days it’s rare, but everyone on staff seemed to be Japanese—maybe just by chance? Everyone provided service that more than made up for the age of the building, and it was very comfortable overall. To be honest (and no offense meant), I only made a Reservation because there happened to be availability and didn’t expect much—so maybe that’s why it felt even better than expected. Next time I’d like to visit with dinner included as well. Thank you very much.

I decided to go on a castle tour in Gunma Prefecture. The accommodation was conveniently located near Numata Castle Ruins and surrounded by plenty of dining options, so I chose it. With a spacious public bath on the first floor and a large dining area, the overall design was relaxing and comfortable. I splurged a little and reserved a room on the 10th floor, the top floor, where I enjoyed expansive views of Numata's beautiful mountain scenery. For dinner, I had some drinks at the yakitori restaurant next door, which was right in front of the parking lot. There were also several izakayas and bars nearby, making this my favorite accommodation. The breakfast buffet was well-managed with staff promptly replenishing dishes and cleaning up with great attention to detail. However, it was disappointing to see some guests leaving their tables messy with leftover dishes behind.

Although the building itself feels a bit old, the interior of the Room has been renovated and well maintained, so we were able to stay comfortably. The bath was also a wonderful tea-brown Onsen unique to Ikaho. Some of the staff were young foreigners, but their service was polite and it was clear they are well trained. Thank you for accommodating my request in advance that I do not do well with wheat flour by leaving out dishes such as okkirikomi. If possible, I would have been happier if something could have been added in place of what was removed (for example, tofu), rather than having only a plain soup pot. Lastly, thank you to the very friendly proprietress for greeting us after our meal and for taking photos for us at the entrance. At Ryokan I have used recently, it seems less common for the proprietress to come out and greet guests, so this was especially nice. Please stay healthy always. We were able to leave Ikaho Onsen with a very good feeling.

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.

We stayed for one night before Obon as a trip to celebrate my mother-in-law's 88th birthday. Although it is a bit away from the stone-paved street, it was a quiet and charming accommodation. The staff were friendly and kind with warm smiles! The room was spacious, and the meals were delicious. The attentive service by the dining staff was very much appreciated. The bath included an indoor open-air option, and there were various hair dryers from different brands available to try out, which was great! Near the front desk, there were board games that everyone could enjoy together. I would love to visit again if I have the chance!
