Above all, everyone was cheerful, kind, and made me feel comfortable, including the proprietress, the host, and the young proprietress. It was clean and had tatami flooring throughout, and I enjoyed the tasteful decorations throughout. Everything at both dinner and breakfast was delicious and I ended up eating way too much. At the folk craft shop next door, which is connected to the museum, there were many interesting and well-made items lined up, so I never got bored. This was my first time here, but I was lucky enough to book a room with an open-air bath. There was even a changing room in the bathroom in a separate building, so that even a father and daughter could use it as a family without any hesitation. It was a windy night, but the free-flowing hot spring water warmed me to the core, and I was able to enjoy it all night long. The souvenir recommended by the young proprietress was the Rokumonsen bun that I went to buy in the morning and it was really delicious. If I ever go to Chikuma, I will definitely visit you. Thank you very much for your help.

Since it's a local hotel, I always come here for the year-end general meeting and subsequent banquets.I've used it about 10 times already.I think it's an inn with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel at home.The hot water in the bath was good, so it was very warming in the cold winter, and I had a pain in my lower back, so I took my time in the bath.The seating for the banquet was comfortable with tables and chairs.Thank you very much for your kindness from the hotel, and the food was brought to me one after another, and I was full and it was delicious♪It's also nice to be able to drink Chikuma City's specialties, such as local alcohol and apricot cider.

Of course the quality of the water was good. I was surprised that the room I stayed in was a maisonette style, with separate bedrooms.
