It is further in the mountains than Kinugawa Onsen. This is from Fukushima prefecture. It is located up several mountains from Nikko Road. Itoen Tourism Group.

I stayed alone during off-peak season in early October. I could have stayed in a smaller room, but the room had good reviews and I wanted to stay in a room like that, so I chose a larger room in the east building, which was about 1,000 yen more expensive. The room lived up to its reputation. The bathroom, the building, and the atmosphere of the mountain are nice.It can't be helped considering the price, but the buffet feels a little lonely compared to before the coronavirus. Still, considering the all-you-can-drink plan, it's more than enough.

This is the strongest Itoen. Oni cost performance is good.The location is not very good, but it's definitely worth going. Although the building is somewhat deteriorated, it is still quite beautiful within Itoen. The room is also pretty clean. After all, the quality of the hot spring water is the best, and the bathhouse is the best.It's wonderful. The view from the open-air bath is good, and the indoor bath has a beautiful glass-walled view, and is lit up at night. After all, the glass is the most beautiful in Itoen's history. It's a lot better than other Itoen restaurants, but it also has unlimited alcohol, private baths, and free karaoke, all for a price in the 8,000 yen range. Best for those who don't care about details. Recommended. It is definitely more satisfying than Atami's Itoen Resort or Kinugawa. I guarantee it.

The room and bathroom are good. To be honest, the dinner buffet is pretty good. Crunchy fried chicken, almost carbonated highballs, sushi toppings that were flimsy, desserts and side dishes that were empty but didn't even bother to add anything. I don't know if it's the management's policy or if they prioritize profits, but I feel that the quality of dinner should be improved a little more. This may be a group-wide policy, but I think the restaurant should be managed a little more from the customer's perspective when it comes to meals, such as unannounced internal audits. I advocate that whether it is cheap or bad, it is not a given.This is an additional reviewI visited again a few months after the above review.I'm not sure if the last time was bad by chance or if the above review caught the attention of the management, but today's buffet was good. The highball has a strong taste of unprocessed sake, and the sushi ingredients are intentionally made with ingredients that are less susceptible to discoloration due to deterioration of freshness (squid, sushi shrimp, kohada, etc.), and all ingredients, including desserts, are carefully prepared until the number of customers decreases. Additional supplements were made. The Yuba soup and Maitake mushroom tempura were very delicious. I believe that if this quality is maintained, we will continue to be supported by many customers. I could feel the management's intention and effort to maximize customer satisfaction with minimal food costs. I would like to use it again. The only complaint I have is that the beer glasses were not cleaned properly. Everything was dirty. Alcohol lovers are surprisingly concerned about it (lol).I think it's difficult with a small amount of man-hours, but I'd be happy if you could improve it.

5/5
Staying in real time.I think the price is sufficient.Both the indoor and outdoor baths have great views and the quality of the spring water.Some reviews say it's difficult to move from the indoor bath to the open-air bath, but it takes about 30 seconds to walk while wearing a yukata. It won't be a pain.The food was delicious during the fried dinner fair.Sushi, white rice, soba, sashimi, fried chicken, Maitake mushroom tempura, fresh ginger tempura from Iwashita, desserts, etc...delicious and satisfying.There is also a wide variety of soft drinks.The milk ice cream at Itoen was delicious and I had a lot of it.The breakfast is quite luxurious considering it's a business hotel plus extra.The room has deteriorated over time, but I don't feel uncomfortable.The lobby and rest area have been maintained like old luxury inns, so it feels like a great deal.I feel that we are working hard with a small staff in the mountains of Yunishigawa.My mother and I have repeat orders.If I had to make a request, it would be helpful if the meal times for both breakfast and dinner could be extended by an additional 30 minutes, as it takes time to share the buffet when staying with elderly people.This is the price for one night and two meals in an era of rapid price increases. If you are dissatisfied with Hotel Yunishigawa or are likely to be dissatisfied with it, I think it would be better to stay at an expensive hotel where you pay more.

My husband and I visited here for our anniversary trip.Honestly, I cannot recommend staying here for anniversaries etc.[Guest room]Since the building is old, I think it is inevitable that it will deteriorate to some extent.There were countless stains on the tatami mats and cushions, and many insects stuck to the windows, which made me feel uncomfortable in terms of hygiene.【bath】The facility was supposed to sell private baths, but by the time we checked in, it was fully booked until morning.I was told that reception would start at 12:50, but I felt that it was too early since check-in was originally at 15:00.The customer who came on time looks at the idiot.The baths, which are separated by gender, were comfortable, but the access to the open-air bath was very poor, so I couldn't take a bath.【meal】Itoen Hotel's typical lineup.The all-you-can-drink option was appealing.The tuna in sushi has a lot of stringy texture, and conveyor belt sushi is more delicious.【whole】The floor in front of the elevator smells strongly of urine.Doesn't any of the staff find it strange?
