Used in November 2023The location is a little far from the center of Ikaho Stone Steps (about 10-15 minutes walk)(ง ˙ω˙)วtechtechThere is no problem if you go by car.I got there early and took the Ikaho Town Bus (at the time Suica accepted, PASMO not accepted) to sightsee, but I was able to keep my car while I was there.The town bus stop is also right in front of you.The inn itself looks quite old from the outside.However, I used a coupon from Rakuten's Autumn Sale and stayed at a super cheap price for one night and two meals on weekdays.Less than 16,000 yen for 2 people Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)There aren't many places you can stay for this price, so I can't complain about how old it is.pretty big“It must have been beautiful and crowded during the Ikaho boom of the Showa era.”That's what it feels likeThe room was old with tatami mats, but it was quite spacious.There was so much variety and quantity of food that I couldn't finish eating in my room.I like alcohol, so I put the leftover side dishes together in one plate and used it as a snack while drinking until I went to bed.The taste was mediocre, so I wonder if they are reorganizing the catering? That's what I felt like, but it's totally fine.d(˙꒳˙* )The bath was large and the spring quality was good.My skin became smoothAlthough it's old, it's dirty! ” There was no such thing.When I went there, there was shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, but no makeup remover or face wash, so I think women should bring their own skin care products.The basic amenities of the accommodation are provided.I don't think men will have a problemThere was a convenience store (I think it was Lawson?) right next door, so I don't think it would be a problem if I forgot something.You can also reserve hot spring steamed buns that will be prepared at the front desk when you check out.(*´∀`*)ﾉ

If you come down on me, I'll look at you in pain.I'm here now for a seminar camp.I have not yet used the food, guest rooms, or public bath, so this is my evaluation at this stage.First of all, it feels like a long-established inn that is old (the toilets are old), but my first impression is that it is quite humid, damp, and has a musty smell.I also felt that the customer service at the front desk was not very friendly. Of course there were friendly staff as well.I'm looking forward to staying here for the next few days, but I can't have too high expectations.

First of all, the price is low.Even if you travel as a family, the travel fee is for one person.I was able to stay there cheaper than I expected.I think it's perfect for stingy travelers.The food is quite delicious.The tomato agar on top of the saladPersonally, I didn't think it was necessary.There is a sign at the entrance saying that we are fully booked today.I thought it would be crowded, butI think the room was quite empty.On the other hand, the bath was almost reserved for private use.I was able to relax.Probably due to parking lot or personnel capacity.I guess there is.Because it is close to the tourist spot of Ikaho Onsen,I think the location is also good.The building is about 50 years old, soMany places are old and have a slight cigarette smell.The view from the room and bath is good,I can see new inns around me,Even more, the oldness of the building stands out.It doesn't have the charm of an old folk house, but feels like it was in a period of high economic growth.It has a faded look, which gives it an indescribable sadness.I have a lot of thoughts about cleanliness,It's cheap anyway. I can recommend it because it's cheap.

The overall facilities are old, but it was good in the sense that you could stay at a hot spring inn at a low price. Shokuji was served in the room and was delicious.

I went with my wife and child (1 and a half years old).I think it was around 60,000 yen for the three of us.The room had an open-air bath, and we had breakfast and dinner in the room.The customer service was friendly and good.The food was also delicious. I was grateful for room meals as my child moved around a lot.Is the open-air bath in the room a hot spring? That's what it felt like. I could smell the disinfectant, but not the hot spring smell. It felt good so it's ok. There are a lot of gaps in the wall of the open-air bath, and it's completely visible, so I think it would be best to fix them.Also, I was sad because the baby food was in a retort package.

4/5
This inn is for those who can afford to stay at a hot spring inn in Ikaho, which is about the same price as a business hotel in front of Shibukawa Station, and is spacious enough for one person to stay without meals.The downsides are the location and aging facilities. Since it is located near the entrance of the hot spring town, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the stone steps area, which is the main street of Ikaho Onsen. The exterior is worn out, and everything except the entrance is on the verge of ruins. If the windows are broken and graffiti is written on the walls, it will become a ruin. The front desk and lobby are well-organized, but once you get inside, things start to get messy. Even though it has been cleaned, the inside of the room is like that. Although some degree of deterioration is unavoidable since it is a large hot spring bath, the fact that the lights are missing or have come off makes it feel poor. However, other than the location, there are no specific inconveniences or inconveniences, and the hot spring public bath can be used at any time, even late at night or early in the morning. Meals are served in your room, making it suitable for those who don't want to travel around after checking in.

Thank you for taking care of us on our family trip to Ikaho.It takes more than 10 minutes to walk from the tourist spot Ishidangai, but it is located within walking distance.I stayed with my child on a plan that included one night and two meals (dinner and breakfast), but it was cheaper at nearby hotels (hotels listed on Rakuten Travel, Jalan, etc.), and I was able to make a reservation even though the deadline was approaching. Although I was worried about this, I had no major complaints and had a satisfying stay.The food lineup included an adult menu, an elementary school menu, and a toddler menu, and I was very satisfied.However, one of the hot pots on the dinner menu is having a hard time getting cooked, and the heat isn't too weak, so I wonder why. That's what I thought, when I saw two thin pots stacked on top of each other.It's a shame, but I guess that's how endearing it is.Also, when we informed them in advance of the menu items that we could not eat, they kindly changed the menu to accommodate us.I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prompt response.There is only an indoor bath, but the hot water was nice and relaxing.I think it's a great location with a spectacular view outside the window.However, as other people have written, the window facing the parking lot from the indoor bath (men's bath on that day) is not blindfolded, so it can be seen normally from the parking lot. There was always that anxiety.I think it would be a good idea to consider putting a blindfold on just the bottom of the window.Considering the above points, I can say that it was a satisfying trip.I would like to visit you again when I go to Ikaho.

Although it is old, it is a long-established Ibushigin inn.The plan from Rakuten comes with rice and is served in your room at a very low price.They are working hard during the coronavirus period and the end of the year.The rice is also delicious. You can also use Ikaho Grand's hot spring facility right in front of you, and the bus stop is nearby.There are some foreigners, especially Chinese people, who seem to be complaining all the time, but if you're looking for perfect quality, why not pay a lot of money and stay at a decent hotel? lolI highly recommend this inn for solo travelers and those who understand the benefits of hot spring inns.I gave the overall rating a 4 because there is room for improvement, such as adding more blindfolds in the bathroom.

Food and hot springs are goodHowever, it is very old and worn out.Not only is it old, but it gives a disappointing impression that it has not been maintained or taken care of.I wasn't looking for a hot spring, I was looking for an affordable place, so it was good enough in that respect, but I don't think I'll come again.

It was my first time visiting Ikaho Onsen, so my expectations were high, but to be honest, I couldn't help but feel like I was underwhelmed.The interior of the building has noticeable cracks and the walls are thin. The quality of the spring water is also not very good. As for the meal, Joshu beef shabu-shabu is the highlight, but there are only three thin slices, and the menu other than shabu-shabu is quite meager and half-baked.Even though Ikaho Onsen is famous, it is still outstanding. If you're going to go anyway, you should choose a better accommodation.

First of all, I was surprised at how different the appearance was from what I saw on the website. The whole room was old and had cracks in the hallways, and the rooms were not smoke-free, so if you don't like the smell of cigarettes, it was so bad that you might want to leave. There was one man at the front desk who was kind to me, but the other women were not so nice. The floor of the public bath was slippery and I felt it was dangerous. However, the location is good. You can walk to the stone steps and ropeway, or take a bus to temples. The handmade udon soba restaurant called Ikeya was also very delicious. It didn't feel like I wanted to repeat it.

Even elementary school students could walk to Ishidangai! I was surprised at how old the exterior looked, but the inside had been renovated and was beautiful!You can enjoy your meals in your room, which is great for families with children.The people who laid the futon and cleaned up seemed like craftsmen, so it was a bit scary. Others handed the key to the child at the front desk and told them to act as a guide, and when they called to tell the child that they had finished their meal, they kindly asked the child, ``Did you eat a lot?'' I felt grateful for your consideration.The food was delicious, and the large bath had a great view, making me very satisfied.

The presentation was very good and the food was delicious.However, I was concerned about the hygiene of the public bath.The windows weren't clean enough to see the scenery, and the floor was slimy. Furthermore, something unknown was floating in the bathtub, and there was sand at the bottom.I managed to find a beautiful place to soak in the water, but my mood dropped considerably.

It was my first time at a ryokan, so I was a little nervous, but Mr. Nakai was so kind and considerate!It was a corner room and seemed to be larger than the others.thank you!I also enjoyed soaking in the hot springs.He recommended it to me because he said that the sunrise seen from the public bath is a specialty, but I'm sorry, I couldn't get up!Next time I'll wake up properly and take a bath in the morning.
