สถานีชิโมนิตะ × บ่อน้ำพุร้อน × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

We stayed as a family. It was a very spacious Ryokan, and just walking around the building felt exciting. Dinner and breakfast were especially wonderful! The portions were generous, every dish was delicious, and we were very satisfied. For the children’s meals, they had kid-friendly options like hamburg steak and omurice, and our child ate happily—it was great to see how much they enjoyed it. The breakfast buffet also had a wide variety of choices, and the freshly made onigiri rice balls that the chef shaped one by one on the spot were especially delicious! There were two types of baths as well, and we enjoyed both. However, it was a bit disappointing that there was an unpleasant fishy odor in one area of the open-air bath. If that could be improved, it would be even more comfortable to use. Other than that, considering the price, it was excellent value for money, and the staff were polite and pleasant throughout. Our whole family had a great time overall, and we’re very satisfied. We’d love to stay again if we have another chance!

At the breakfast buffet, the chef prepared dashimaki tamago and onigiri on the spot (you can choose the fillings), and I was happy to enjoy them freshly made. Today’s miso soup had clams in it, with a rich clam broth—it was delicious and comforting. There was a wide variety of dishes and desserts, including konjac-based items and Ota’s famous yakisoba, so choosing was fun and exciting. I’d love to stay again.

Mount Myogi rose like a folding screen, and the scenery was spectacular! The Hotel was clean, and the Onsen had great water. Meals were buffet-style for both breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t food I’d want to eat again... There are many sightseeing spots nearby, so we were able to stop by various places and had a very fulfilling trip.

It was very comfortable, and the bath left my skin feeling smooth—I was very satisfied. I’d love to come again!

The facilities felt a bit dated, as expected from a public accommodation. The room was a combination of Japanese and Western styles. While the Japanese-style side showed some signs of aging, the Western-style side seemed to have been renovated and was excellent. Although our room did not have a private bath, the large communal bath was conveniently close (it seems they accommodated our request for proximity due to my mother’s mobility issues). The room's location near both the dining area and the bath on the first floor was very convenient. The toilet and washroom were clean, making for a comfortable stay. The communal bath was also wonderful. The indoor bath had separate areas for washing and soaking, providing a peaceful experience when in the tub. The outdoor bath offered stunning views of autumn-colored mountains while listening to the gentle sound of a nearby stream—an exceptional experience available even late at night. Compared to the indoor baths, the outdoor baths were slightly cooler, perhaps designed for longer soaks. Above all else, however, it was the food that stood out as extraordinary! Despite jokingly mentioning that Gunma only has mushrooms, miso paste, and wild boar pork ("Inobuta"), these ingredients were crafted into delicious dishes with great care and creativity. The portions were generous; unfortunately, my elderly mother and wife couldn’t finish their meals entirely. The dishes made abundant use of fragrant mushrooms with mild yet flavorful seasoning—truly delightful! Miso paste seemed to be a local specialty here; its rich aroma enhanced various dishes beautifully. And then there’s sake! With around 40 varieties exclusively from Gunma breweries (if I recall correctly), choosing one can be overwhelming at first glance! We opted for their tasting set featuring five types (approximately 30ml each) priced at ¥1,500—and every single one tasted distinctively delicious! Individual glasses ranged between ¥600–¥800 per serving (about 180ml), making it hard not to deliberate over what next drink should follow! I particularly enjoyed "Hiraijo," while my wife preferred "Akagiyama," so we ordered another glass accordingly based on her choice afterward. A staff member who recommended these selections had extensive knowledge about sake which made conversations engaging throughout dinner service too! It’s no surprise this accommodation attracts many repeat visitors—it truly deserves such loyalty given how memorable our stay turned out overall. Thank you sincerely for providing us such an incredible travel experience!

The tofu—something of a signature at this Accommodation—is delicious. We booked a Multiple Night Stay and chose the “Miyabi” dinner and the Joshu beef teppanyaki on a ceramic plate; tofu was included with both (the teppanyaki set was served at breakfast). This is a classic Japanese Ryokan. The building is old, but it’s well cleaned and we had a comfortable stay. It’s only up to the second floor, but there are stairs, so it may be a bit difficult if you have mobility issues. The staff are efficient and pleasant. This Accommodation lets you fully enjoy the charm of a small Ryokan.

I surprised my wife, who loves the countryside, with a stay here. She was very happy and said she’d like to come back next time with her parents.
