I stayed here for the first time two and a half years ago. I was completely satisfied with the Hotel’s location, the Room, and the large public bath. The property was also very clean, which left a great impression. So this time I didn’t hesitate to make a Reservation for two nights, and enjoyed visiting Mitsumine Shrine and sightseeing around Chichibu and Nagatoro. The “Tabibito no Yu” bath is a natural Onsen, and compared with other Route Inn properties it has more shower booths (and they’re ReFa), plus a larger bath—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. I definitely want to stay here again next time I visit Chichibu. Thank you for taking care of us for two nights. We’ll be back. One small disappointment: the in-room TV’s facility guide didn’t work (even when pressing the Home button), so I couldn’t check how crowded the large public bath was.

This was my first stay at NIPPONIA Chichibu Monzenmachi, and I stayed in Room 102 of the MARUJU building. Room 102 is a maisonette-style guest room created by converting an entire kura storehouse, so I had been genuinely looking forward to it even before arriving. When I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and excellent service, and check-in was accompanied by explanations about the property’s history and unique features. I was then shown to Room 102. The door wasn’t new—it was the original one from when it was a storehouse—so I felt excited even before stepping inside. As soon as I opened the door with high expectations, I found myself in a truly unique, extraordinary space. With its open atrium design, the first floor is a living area; climbing the original ladder from its storehouse days leads to the second-floor bedroom. It’s such a spacious room that it feels like it could be two separate rooms across two levels. The nostalgic atmosphere comes from how beautifully it blends preserved beams and walls from the past with modern comfort. The hinoki cypress bath I had been looking forward to was larger and deeper than expected. Even before filling it, the pleasant scent of hinoki filled the bathroom; once hot water was added, the aroma became even richer, making it wonderfully relaxing even without hot-spring water. Dinner—something I had eagerly awaited—was truly delicious from appetizers to main course to dessert. You could also feel great attention paid not only to plating but also to every piece of tableware used. The course featured plenty of locally sourced ingredients; while it goes without saying that both venison and river fish were excellent, I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully they brought out the flavors of local vegetables and by how outstanding each sauce tasted. It’s hard to describe well from appetizer through main course, but every dish looked unlike what you’d expect—and each bite delivered a delightful surprise. Breakfast offered a complete change of pace: traditional Japanese cuisine. The assortment of small side dishes let me enjoy many different flavors, and the classic miso soup was exceptional. As an old folk-house hotel, it has an abundance of nostalgic charm while still being impeccably clean. With wonderful food and genuinely hospitable staff, this became a Chichibu trip that left me completely satisfied.

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.

Thank you for taking care of us during the typhoon and heavy rain. Both dinner and breakfast were wonderful, and I was especially moved by the homemade chestnut soup prepared by the proprietress. I only wished there had been a shower in the open-air bath that is available 24 hours a day. I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

Starting with the welcome drink, the indoor Onsen bath and open-air bath were clean and wonderful. Dinner and breakfast were so plentiful we couldn’t finish everything. The soft-serve ice cream service, morning pancakes, and drip coffee were excellent. The nail corner and massages were also very popular with the women in our group. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Simple, but fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. Although it was a No Meals Included plan, we each received a delicious local bakery’s koppe-pan at the front desk. The semi-double bed was comfortable, and I slept well. There is also free on-site parking, which was very helpful.

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.

The Japanese-modern Room was bright and cozy, with beds set in a calming tatami space. Stepping out onto the balcony, sitting in a chair, and enjoying the night view was wonderful. Having power outlets everywhere also felt like a thoughtful touch. The vegetable tempura at dinner—especially the carrots—was sweet and delicious. This is an Accommodation I’d love to stay at again.

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.

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.

Five middle-aged men stayed here together. The building itself has a historic feel, but the interior is well maintained and clean, so it didn’t feel particularly old. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying in both quantity and quality, with a great balance for enjoying drinks as well. The white rice cooked over firewood at the end of the meal was especially delicious. We’d love to return next time with our family.

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

Everyone at Yatsugawakan, thank you very much for taking such good care of us the other day. It was our first visit, and the private open-air bath was wonderful. The room was clean and well maintained. The food was also delicious—we enjoyed it so much that we even had seconds! Above all, the owner and proprietress were truly lovely people, and it made us want to come back 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!

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.

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 stayed with two families. As expected from the reviews, it was clean and wonderful! The kids were also happy to share a room with new friends for the first time. We initially planned to use a day-use hot spring for bathing, but the bath at the property was spacious and clean enough that we ended up using it instead. If you’re heading to the Chichibu area, we highly recommend it.

I stayed here when I visited Chichibu to enjoy the spring season. The staff’s attentive and friendly service was very pleasant. The Accommodation had a charming atmosphere, the meals were delicious, and I was very satisfied.
