Hotel Route-Inn Grand Chichibu

I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I entered the room.There was a space to take off your shoes right away, just like at a traditional hot spring inn, which really lifted my spirits.The entire room—including the Japanese-style room with beds and the bathroom/toilet—felt very clean.Since we were there, we also enjoyed the hot springs. They were clean as well, and we were able to fully enjoy two types of open-air baths. It wasn’t crowded, so we could relax and soak at our leisure.Breakfast was homemade, gentle on the stomach, and delicious. The restaurant staff were also kind and welcoming.If I had to mention any drawbacks, it was that it was a bit far from the station and the wait time for check-in was long.That said, overall satisfaction was very high, and it’s a place I’d like to stay again when visiting Chichibu.Thank you to all the staff for making our trip so comfortable.

I stayed here for the first time two and a half years ago. I was completely satisfied with the Hotel’s location, the Room, and the large public bath.The property was also very clean, which left a great impression.So this time I didn’t hesitate to make a Reservation for two nights, and enjoyed visiting Mitsumine Shrine and sightseeing around Chichibu and Nagatoro.The “Tabibito no Yu” bath is a natural Onsen, and compared with other Route Inn properties it has more shower booths (and they’re ReFa), plus a larger bath—perfect for relaxing and unwinding.I definitely want to stay here again next time I visit Chichibu.Thank you for taking care of us for two nights. We’ll be back.One small disappointment: the in-room TV’s facility guide didn’t work (even when pressing the Home button), so I couldn’t check how crowded the large public bath was.
