สถานีนากาโนฮาราคุซัสกุจิ × ที่พักพร้อมเลานจ์ต้อนรับสำหรับพักผ่อนโรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

From the moment I was picked up, the staff made a great impression, and as soon as I stepped into the Hotel, I was soothed by a wonderful aroma scent. I was shown to a private Room to check in. The Room had a simple design and was very comfortable to stay in. I also enjoyed choosing my favorite scent with the aroma diffuser in the Room. This time I joined the 1-night, 2-day fasting course. Since it wasn’t a water-only fast, I had carrot juice, homemade umeboshi (pickled plum), bancha tea, and more for dinner and again the next morning. After checkout, they treated me to rice porridge, miso soup, handmade umeboshi, hana ingen beans (runner beans), and bancha tea—everything was very satisfying. Personally, the hana ingen beans slowly simmered over two days with beet sugar were so delicious that I couldn’t help asking if they were available for purchase. After check-in, I also received a brown-rice onigiri with umeboshi, which I enjoyed on my long-distance bus ride home. There is no TV in the Room, but Wi‑Fi is available so you can use your smartphone. However, since it was such a good opportunity, I tried not to use my phone during my stay as much as possible. Time flew by as I read health magazines in the lounge with herbal tea in hand; opened the window in my guest room to read my own book while listening to birdsong; and reviewed personal finances that had been put off due to everyday busyness. From the Onsen bath area in the morning, you can see Mt. Asama—the view was truly wonderful. If there’s one thing to mention: since exercise is part of my routine personally, having showers in every Room would have made it even more comfortable by allowing me to rinse off quickly after working out. Other than that minor point, everything exceeded expectations—the staff were lovely throughout—and it was a stay I would definitely like to repeat.

It was my first visit in a while, and once again the Onsen was wonderful—I thoroughly enjoyed soaking in two different natural hot spring sources. The meals were delicious and very satisfying. The guests were considerate, and it was very quiet, so I could truly relax. The staff were kind as well, and I recommend this place to anyone who likes a small, cozy property. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I will visit again.

This was an Accommodation I’d wanted to visit for a long time. I was hoping for the riverside bath and a starry sky, but due to the river running high and cloudy weather, it didn’t happen. Still, the Accommodation was wonderful, so I was completely satisfied. At check-in, we were served delicious homemade sweets: hanamame beans with shiratama in kinako and kuromitsu. The proprietress and staff were very pleasant, and the hot spring bath—fed directly from the source—overflowed generously and felt amazing. The meals were beautifully presented using local ingredients, and we were happily full. The Room was clean and relaxing, with the sound of the river (it was quite loud this time because of the high water, but I’m sure it’s usually soothing). It was also lovely to see small wildflowers displayed throughout. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to stay at again and again. We will definitely return.

The Room was spacious and uncluttered, so it felt like pets wouldn’t be able to get into mischief. It also felt reassuring even with a baby. There was a large trash bin, and being able to throw everything away in one place was more convenient than having multiple small bins. Meals were great as well—BBQ was prepared for each Room, so we only had to grill. The meat was very delicious, and the rice had already been cooked in advance, which showed how thoughtfully everything is arranged. There is very little direct interaction with staff, but if you need anything and call, they come quickly and help. The in-Room bath was wonderful, and there is also a large public bath where you can enjoy different types of baths. The large public bath was almost private during our stay. Each Room also has a cart, making it easy to get to the large public bath. Driving the cart was a fun bonus. There are many insects outside, but measures are taken so they don’t get into the Room or onto the balcony, and there were none at all in the large public bath. A lot of insects fly around outdoors, but it’s impressive how well they prevent them from coming inside. Insect repellent is also provided, which made us feel fairly at ease. It’s an Accommodation I’d like to visit again—next time for a Multiple Night Stay.

This was our first stay at this Accommodation, and we really liked it—the atmosphere was great, and the Room was spacious and very relaxing. It’s also close to Yubatake, so getting to Yubatake in the daytime and when it’s lit up at night, as well as shopping for souvenirs or grabbing a quick drink or meal, was no problem. Since it isn’t right around Yubatake, we were able to spend the nights quietly. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kusatsu.

This was our first trip to Kusatsu, and we stayed here. The Reviews were great, so we arrived with high expectations—and it truly lived up to them! The Room was spacious, and having the bath and toilet separate was a real plus. We wondered if Kusatsu’s hot spring water might be good for skin and hair. My spouse and I both have sensitive skin, but we didn’t feel itchy at all—our skin felt moisturized, and our hair became soft and smooth too! What made it even better was the wonderful group of guests. We were able to relax in a calm atmosphere. We also really enjoyed the food—both the dinner course and the breakfast buffet were delicious. We also appreciated the lounge food and drinks that changed throughout the day. If I could make one request, I would be happy if the slippers were disposable. This is a Hotel we’d love to visit again. Thank you very much!

I visit Kusatsu Onsen every year, and Sakurai Hotel is the best. First of all, the hot spring water is excellent. It also seems to have been renovated, and both the Room and the changing area were very clean. The hair dryer was the latest ReFa model. The food was delicious as well—especially breakfast, which left me completely full. The grilled salmon was great. I’d like to come again next year.

Everything was excellent—the Room, the baths, the food, the staff service, and the pool. We chose a loft-style Room, and it was very clean! However, for families with small children, we can’t recommend it because the ladder is steep and high. The baths were not crowded, so we could relax; the large public bath was very clean. We also had the pool almost to ourselves, and there were banana boats and other items available, which looked like a lot of fun. The buffet had a wide variety of options and everything was delicious. There were plenty of choices at breakfast as well. Our whole family loved it and we’d like to come again. Thank you very much.

We stayed in two Rooms with a total of seven people—my daughter’s family and my son. We have stayed here before, and it remains a favorite because we can truly relax, and both dinner and breakfast are served in private dining rooms so we can enjoy our meals at a leisurely pace. The grandchildren enjoyed not only the Onsen but also the pool, and they even wrote in their summer vacation diary that they want to come again. The staff also left a very positive impression with their courteous service.

It was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and kind. I was truly impressed by the thoughtful touches throughout the Hotel, such as handwritten boards and information materials introducing birds you can see around the Hotel.\nThe Room was also very clean and comfortable, and the meals were delicious—especially the beef stew, which became my favorite. My family and I are already saying we definitely want to come again.

Both the Room and the open-air bath were clean, and it was a very comfortable Hotel. The location was also convenient, making it easy to get anywhere, including Yubatake and the shops, which was great! Just one point: The towels provided in the Room were not very absorbent, so it took quite a while to dry off. I would be happy if that could be improved. Overall, it felt more comfortable than the price would suggest, so if the towel issue is resolved, I would like to stay again.

They contacted me about this. It was too late to cancel and I felt anxious, but they prepared a replacement Room—a suite—so I was able to stay with peace of mind. The front desk manager said, “Luckily it was available…,” and the Room even had a private hot-spring bath with free-flowing source water, so I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

Upon arrival at the Accommodation, a female staff member greeted us with a gentle smile and warm hospitality, making it a wonderful memory. We were also very satisfied with the welcome drink service, which included coffee and a small Danish pastry.

I was finally able to visit “Ura-Kusatsu Tou,” a place I’d been curious about for a long time. Located in the Ura-Kusatsu area, just a short distance from the bustle of Yubatake, the moment you step inside you’ll find a beautifully curated space where traditional craftsmanship and modern design come together. Every corner of the Accommodation is picture-perfect. From interiors accented with traditional crafts to warm, inviting lighting, you can feel the attention to detail throughout. It was an Accommodation with a calm atmosphere—perfect for an adults-only getaway. Relax from the core with “Jizo Gensen” The greatest highlight here is, of course, the Onsen fed by “Jizo Gensen.” Among Kusatsu’s many hot spring sources, “Jizo-no-Yu” is said to be rare due to its low output. Its gentle feel on the skin and subtle milky hue were wonderfully soothing, and I could truly relax from deep within. Not only in the large public bath but throughout the building, there are thoughtful touches that create a sense of gentle “sway,” making it feel as if everyday fatigue simply melts away. Dinner and breakfast were served in a serene dining space. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious enough to make you happy with each bite. Breakfast also felt luxurious: colorful small plates lined up alongside freshly cooked rice. An Accommodation where you can fully enjoy both the Onsen and the cuisine—I left completely satisfied in both heart and stomach. The Room was spotless and comfortable—functional yet designed with a calming Japanese aesthetic. The staff maintained just the right level of attentiveness; thanks to their courteous service, my stay was pleasant from start to finish. It had been some time since my last visit to Kusatsu Onsen, but this trip helped me rediscover its charm all over again. This wonderful Accommodation lets you experience both the excellence of Jizo Gensen and modern comfort at once—somewhere I would love to return again.

Thank you as always for your support. I’ll be booking again, so I look forward to staying with you.

We stayed with you last year and returned again this year, and despite the intense heat, it was wonderfully cool, allowing both our minds and bodies to truly relax. We plan to come back again next year with our two dogs. On the way here, we were also able to visit Kumano Kotai Shrine (Kumano Kōtaijingū), famous for its “long-life shrine for dogs,” where we prayed once again this year for our dogs’ knee health and overall well-being.

We stayed with our dog during the pre-opening period. There are various rules for using the Accommodation, but they were not clearly explained on the Reservation site or elsewhere, so there was very little information in advance. Until we arrived at the Hotel, I was quite worried. On-site, however, there were written instructions at key points, so we did not have many problems. That said, I think things would go much more smoothly if guests could understand everything beforehand rather than having to figure it out each time. I appreciate that simplifying services helps lower prices, but if guests are expected to handle many things themselves, the system needs to be communicated in detail in a way that anyone can easily understand. - Our dog’s vaccination certificate was not checked. For guests traveling with dogs to feel comfortable and use the Accommodation with peace of mind, I believe this should be mandatory and consistently enforced. Also, there was no explanation at all about how to use the dog-friendly Room; some basic rules and guidance seem necessary. - As mentioned in other Reviews on other sites as well, there was no sanitary disposal box in the restroom. I think this is something that should be provided. - Free rental items are available on a first-come basis. The notice said: “After use, keep it clean and finally clean it and return it to its original place.” This made me wonder whether the Hotel checks (cleans/maintains) these items properly every day after they are returned. If not, it would feel unhygienic. - The notes on the Reservation site stated: “A deposit (20,000 yen for all Rooms) will be collected.” However, when I asked staff in the lobby on the day of arrival, they told me no deposit is collected. - I appreciated having a 2-liter bottle of water provided in our Room. - All staff who assisted us inside the Hotel (lobby and breakfast venue) were pleasant, polite, and clear. With this rebranding renovation, the facilities are already very appealing as a Hotel. I hope that service operations will improve accordingly and become even better than they are now.

Located on a hill above Yubatake, the area around the accommodation is quiet, allowing you to hear the chirping of birds in the morning. The bath is an onsen and can be used anytime if available without a reservation. I enjoyed soaking in a wooden bath with a pleasant hinoki aroma! The staff were kind and provided various local information, making it an enjoyable trip. I would love to visit again! Thank you for your hospitality!

■Guest Rooms Very spacious, comfortable, and thoroughly cleaned. ■Hospitality & Service Staff interact with guests at just the right distance. ■Onsen You can enjoy both a clean, lower-temperature bath and a standard-temperature bath. For first-time visitors to Kusatsu, the Onsen may feel quite hot, so this thoughtful consideration from the owner is appreciated. ■Facility Clean overall, and it’s nice that a Lawson convenience store is nearby. ■Dining The meals were not very satisfying for me. The aromas were strong, and I couldn’t fully appreciate the natural flavors of the ingredients. What lowered my rating most was that the wine pairing was very disappointing. I think it would be better to offer around three glasses with wines priced at about 2,000 yen per glass. I felt a significant mismatch between the atmosphere of the Accommodation and the taste of the wine. ■Overall Satisfaction If you decide to dine at other places instead, this is an Accommodation with a high level of satisfaction. Above all, it feels exceptionally clean.

We stayed on the Couple Plan, and we truly appreciated several services that were not listed in the Plan details, which were extremely helpful for sightseeing in Kusatsu. Services not mentioned in the Plan details: - Shuttle Service to Yubatake after dinner - Free yukata rental - Drop-off to the terminal at check-out - Complimentary coffee, chocolates, and massage chairs in the lounge - Free ice cream in the freezer In addition, both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with great attention to detail throughout—from presentation and side dishes to cooking methods. If we visit Kusatsu again, we would definitely like to stay here again.
