สถานีชิโมสึเกะ ฮานาโอกะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

I stayed here on a solo trip and was extremely satisfied with my stay. Above all, the Onsen was outstanding. The water quality was excellent, and after bathing my skin felt surprisingly smooth. The open-air bath is in a quiet setting surrounded by forest, making it easy to forget everyday life and truly unwind. The sauna was also excellent. With self-service löyly, you can work up a good sweat in a short time, and the deep cold bath with continuously flowing groundwater had no chlorine smell—I could really feel how clean the water was. The temperature is properly maintained with a chiller, so it’s nicely cold and comfortable. Relaxing on the reclining chairs in the outdoor area while looking out at the forest was the most memorable part of this stay. Dinner is served as a course meal but offers far more volume than expected—you’ll be completely full. The locally sourced ayu (sweetfish) from Kitsuregawa was delicious, and I enjoyed regional ingredients. Breakfast is semi-buffet style, with rice, miso soup, natto, and a drink bar available freely, so you can eat well from the morning. It was also very helpful to have Shuttle Service both ways to Ujiie Station. It’s about 20 minutes away, but for guests arriving by public transportation this is an especially appreciated service. Some parts of the building and Facility show their age, but everything inside was kept clean and I never felt uncomfortable. It seemed to be run by a small team, yet everyone provided warm and very attentive service that made my stay pleasant throughout. Even though it isn’t far from Tokyo, I think this Accommodation is special for offering an escape into nature in such a peaceful setting. Amenities are minimal essentials only, so if you have specific preferences you may want to bring what you need—earplugs included—for an even more comfortable stay. This time I traveled alone, but next time I would love to visit with my family.

This was our first stay with a three-generation family and our dog. There were various pet supplies placed in the Room and at the entrance/exit from outside, which was very helpful. The building felt a bit aged, but it was well cleaned throughout. Dinner was the local kaiseki course with a small upgrade! Everything was delicious, and in particular the Tochigi beef sukiyaki had tender meat—upgrading was absolutely the right choice. The breakfast buffet was also very tasty with a wide variety of options. There were many international staff members, but everyone spoke Japanese very well, and their hardworking attitude left a strong impression. The changing area and large public bath were spacious, so we could relax comfortably. As advertised as “beautifying hot spring water,” it really did leave our skin smooth. It was only one night, but it became a truly enjoyable trip. Staying here was absolutely the right decision. Thank you very much.

Dinner in the evening was also delicious, thanks to the staff’s attentive service.

The interior facilities and amenities were excellent. The Room had a stylish Western feel, and I would like to stay again. The bed was very soft, and I slept comfortably. A short drive away there are many shops, and the nearby shops listed in the Hotel guide were easy to understand.

It was clean, and the Onsen was wonderful. It’s also close to Motegi Circuit, so I’d like to stay here again.

Because the door is a bit unique, I was nervous at first, wondering if I had the wrong entrance. But once I passed through the gate, nature opened up and it was exciting. Since the car park and the Accommodation are separated, those with a lot of luggage should be careful not to forget anything. The Accommodation was clean. It was a little disappointing that there were no hangers in the room. As for the toilet and bath, you have to step outside once to get there, so at night I couldn’t bring myself to go out because I could hear what sounded like distant howling (lol). Still, since they are private facilities—unlike places where you share with other guests—I think it’s more than sufficient. There are also many Facilities you can use for free, such as a terrarium experience, a basketball hoop, a sauna, and a pool; depending on the season, there may be more than enough to keep you busy. I had assumed we might be able to interact with the horses too, but when it came to the ranch area I only heard them and never actually saw them, which was disappointing. For meals, we were satisfied being able to enjoy BBQ using our private grill! It’s not a luxury-style glamping Accommodation, but I think it’s just right for enjoying nature and a camping vibe in a clean environment at an affordable price.

The quality of the beds is truly exceptional, the best we've ever experienced. It seems that other locations in this chain use similar beds, so we look forward to staying at their properties again in the future. However, to be honest, there aren't many other standout features beyond this.

Arrived late at night, but the gentleman at the front desk was extremely kind. He welcomed us with a smile, instantly relieving our travel fatigue. The building was impressive, the room was clean, and we were able to relax in the bath. The woman who assisted us over the phone before our stay provided perfect answers and demonstrated excellent training and hospitality. This is an accommodation I can recommend to everyone. Thank you very much for your wonderful service!

Thank you for responding quickly to our requests and various issues. The Facility’s Onsen is excellent. It’s a shame that morning bathing isn’t available, though.
