สถานีโออิชิ × โรงแรม·เรียวกัง ที่มีการประเมินน้ำพุร้อนและอ่างอาบน้ำในระดับสูง

A new building with free parking. Located right next to the station in a charming countryside area. It's surprising to find a Hotel in such a place. There’s a supermarket and McDonald's nearby, and I enjoyed buying local food to relax and eat in the Room. The Plan was No Meals Included, but breakfast was available for 600 yen, so I opted for it. The portions were generous and satisfying. A great Hotel overall!

My two classmates and I (three men, all 78 years old) stayed in the suite with a ceramic-style bath. The toilet was the same TOTO Neorest as we have at home, but the space around it felt a bit narrow. It would be better if the shower head holder in the bath were positioned lower. Dinner was delicious, but there was so much that we left quite a bit. Breakfast was a half-buffet; if possible, we would prefer a Japanese set meal. Everything was clean, and all of the staff were kind and courteous. We would like to stay again.

The night view was wonderful. The river-side Room was furnished in a Taisho-romantic style, beautifully coordinated, and the scenery was amazing. It felt like stepping into a mysterious world. Dinner was delicious as well. And the breakfast imoni soup(?) was really tasty. We also had lunch at Shirogane the next day, so it was a very filling trip. It’s a bit of an uphill walk, but the Onsen at Ginzanso was great too! You can hear footsteps and voices from the next Room or upstairs quite clearly. For me… it bothered me a little (well… quite a lot, haha). Ginzan Onsen is wonderful.

Although I was a little taken aback at first by the ultra-stylish space designed by Kengo Kuma, that sense of stepping into another world only made it more exciting—and it turned into a truly enjoyable stay. Both dinner and breakfast were served in our Room. Even though this is an Onsen town, the sashimi was surprisingly fresh and delicious, and paired perfectly with local sake—leaving us pleasantly tipsy. There are four private baths on the first floor, and by timing it right we managed to try them all—both at night and in the morning! On top of that, there was an open-air bath on the third floor where we stayed, so we ended up completing all “five baths” (laughs). What impressed me most was the tofu served at breakfast. It’s freshly handmade tofu from Nogawa Tofu Shop nearby, which they start making from 3:00 a.m.—soft, fluffy, and genuinely delicious. The staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming as well, and I could truly relax. By chance it was Saturday night, so we also got to watch a Hanagasa Dance performance (about 15 minutes) right in front of the Accommodation. The interaction with locals felt heartfelt and authentic. Ginza Onsen itself isn’t overcrowded with tourist spots, so nights are quiet and time passes peacefully. With its magical atmosphere reminiscent of *Spirited Away*, this is the perfect Accommodation for anyone who wants to savor a calm yet luxurious getaway.
