My daughter and I loved it here. Clean, minimalist and beautiful. Big rooms, comfy beds and lovely host. My daughter has a lot of food allergies and yet was able to eat an amazing breakfast each day complete with bespoke printed menu with ingredients. Incredible. Thank you.

Although it was a little far from Yubatake, the breakfast and room were very good. The staff were also kind and easy to spend time with. I was also able to take a private bath several times, which was very fulfilling.

This space is beautiful. From the minute you walk in you are treated to the best hospitality with genuine kindness and respect. The private spaces were traditional tatami rooms and the doonas were the fluffiest I’ve ever seen. We also loved the comfortable pyjamas provided so much that we purchased some to take home. The breakfast service is outstanding. We ate different, very generous traditional Japanese breakfast both mornings.The private onsen runs with pure mountain mineral water and is beautifully maintained.It is quiet and peaceful and there is lots of attention to detail. We were treated to fresh flowers in our room which I loved.I noted some 4star reviews for location which is fair as it is about 15min walk into town centre but I give it 5 stars because it was 2min walking distance to the best traditional BBQ in Japan. We enjoyed it so much we went 2 nights in a row (barikiya.gunma.jp).Overall I have nothing bad at all to say about this place. Even the language barrier was fine as the staff were happy to play charades and have a laugh. We got there in the end with Google translate.Thank you for the most relaxing holiday Soumein. We will be recommending you to everyone.

I stayed with my 6 month old child and my wife. The rooms are clean and spacious, and I think this is a very comfortable accommodation for families.The staff were very kind and made me feel at ease. The breakfast wasn't fancy at all, but each dish was carefully prepared and very delicious.The bathroom may be small and unsatisfactory. (Of course, it's larger than the bathroom at home, so it's okay, but if you're looking for a sense of openness, it might not be enough.) There is Otaki no Yu nearby, so that might be a good idea.Since I didn't have dinner, I bought some at a nearby supermarket or a roadside station along the way and had some drinks. This was also good.Overall, I would like to come back again and highly recommend it!
