Satoyama Onsen Hatagoya Maruichi ~ A Retreat of 17 Detached Rooms to Enjoy the Extraordinary ~

I looked for a good Accommodation in Gunma, my father’s hometown, to travel with my elderly parents. My husband and I have stayed here about twice before, and I really wanted to come again, so I made a Reservation. The Room, the meals, and the service from the staff are all excellent—this is a truly wonderful Accommodation. One thing only: I knew it wasn’t barrier-free, but moving around inside the Facility was still quite demanding for my father, who cannot walk without a cane. The buildings and atmosphere are so beautiful that I wondered whether adding ramps or handrails might spoil the charm… but it was disappointing to feel that this place may be difficult to use for guests who need assistance with walking. Other than that, everything was truly outstanding, and I would love to stay again. This time we stayed in the Room called “Kanho.”

The peaceful, relaxing atmosphere left a strong impression. With the charm of an Edo-era establishment, this is a wonderful Accommodation where adults can unwind at a leisurely pace. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and it was clear that each dish was prepared with great care. We enjoyed taking our time and savoring every bite. This time we stayed in a guest room with a private Onsen, so we could enjoy the Onsen as many times as we liked whenever we wanted—an incredibly luxurious experience. The water wasn’t too hot; it was slightly warm, just the right temperature for soaking slowly and comfortably. On the other hand, getting from the room to the large public bath or dining area requires walking outdoors, so it may feel a bit inconvenient in winter or on rainy days. Overall, this was an extremely satisfying Accommodation that I would recommend to anyone looking to relax in a quiet setting or fully enjoy excellent meals and an Onsen experience.
