It's not luxurious or flashy.What you can see here is the hospitality of the people who work there, who truly care about the customers.There were handmade flyers everywhere, and I could feel the sweat on my hands and forehead, and I felt a sense of comfort.The flowing hot springs were perfect for my tired body after climbing the mountain and soothed my tiredness.Also, I would like to stay overnight when climbing Mt. Tanigawadake.

Thank you for your help in early October. I stayed in a Japanese-style room with a bath on the 4th floor, and the rock bath in the room was also nice. However, as others have said, it is better than the large public bath on the 3rd floor.The temperature in the room bath was lower. But I felt like I could stay in it for a long time, which was great for this time of year. Unfortunately, it rained both days, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the view from my room. The food was delicious, but I felt it took too long. The concept may be to have a leisurely meal, but I'm the type of person who eats quickly and then takes a bath, so I didn't have much time to spare. However, if you know this in advance, you will be able to eat at a slower pace, so it's okay. Thank you for your help again.

Creative cuisine? Where! There were several small items that I couldn't even taste, and the chestnut rice consisted of three 1cm canned chestnuts cut in half and placed on top.The teacup was covered in tea stains. 60,000 for two people is profiteering. It was my first time staying at a place like this. I used the GoTo campaign and it was a little cheaper, but it's too bad. It was a long time ago, but the worst memories came back to me and I posted it.

The person I met at the open-air bath at Kusatsu Onsen was probably in his late 60s. He is driving a car and traveling to hot springs by himself.When I asked him about the hot springs he recommended, he said, ``I don't really want to tell you, but...'' and told me Minakami Sanso. The recommended points are:They said that the view was wonderful, the food was delicious, and that even one person could stay comfortably.(Although you may only be able to stay alone for a limited time)When I heard about it, I immediately made a reservation here and was looking forward to it. When I actually stayed there, it was just as good as I had been told.The views from the lounge, room, and bath are amazing, and there's nothing like the open-air feeling of an open-air bath facing the greenery.The meals are made with local ingredients, and even my daughter, who doesn't like seafood, was carefully accommodated with alternative menus.As a flower lover, there were fresh flowers casually displayed at strategic points. In addition, cold water was provided before bedtime, and lavender sachets and negligees were provided in addition to yukatas.Thanks to this service, I was able to sleep comfortably and soundly.After breakfast, we had coffee in the lounge while looking out at the view, and it was delicious.I was told about a good place to stay. I don't really want to tell you, but I'll probably tell everyone.

The overall balance of food and room was good.The semi-open-air bath in the room was nice and quaint, but since I visited at the end of September, the water temperature was lukewarm (even the large bath) and felt cold. I went in thinking it would be freezing in the middle of winter. It is unclear whether the temperature of the source itself is low.

This is a real hot spring with natural hot springs flowing directly from the source.Everything from the shower to the faucet is hot spring.The hot water in the cypress bath in the large public bath and the open-air bath is changed daily, making it both clean and comfortable.The view from the hot spring inn is spectacular.Also, the food at this inn is really delicious and I'm always very satisfied. Also, the price of alcohol at the hotel is cheap, so it's definitely a good idea to ask for it. Everyone has a good customer service attitude, but the female customer service is especially wonderful.Honestly, I don't want to tell you about this inn because it would be difficult to make reservations, but there is no other inn with such wonderful natural hot springs, so I would like everyone to enjoy this hot spring to their fullest.
