I used it for the first time on October 16th. I had high expectations for the in-house facilities and food, but I was surprised at how many comments I had. There was a washroom with no hot water in the room, the screen on the window had been removed, and the futon was tattered. The evening meal was not delicious, the okkirikomi had no flavor of dashi, it was just a soy sauce flavor, and the chawanmushi was so cold that I couldn't eat it. When I lowered my tableware while eating with chopsticks, I was surprised to see a maid stick her hand under the table. The breakfast was delicious. I probably won't use it again.

I used it on a trip with 3 elderly people. The tatami bath was nice, but the open-air bath had narrow stairs and I thought it might be dangerous for elderly people. I was a little disappointed with the bath as I had seen the photos on the website. The amount of food served both in the evening and in the morning is so large that you won't be able to finish it all. The room was clean. It was good for the price.

I was generally satisfied with the hot springs and the food, but the room smelled like mold and there were wing ants on the table, and even roaches came out from under the sink and I hit them with my slippers. The air conditioner was old and was making weird noises all the time so I couldn't sleep much...💧

It's located in a place that feels like THE hot spring town✨️! ️Some people may like it or dislike it, but I like it 😌 There are some people who don't understand anything and give negative opinions, but to put it simply, there are people who think that if you can't adapt to that place, it's all bad. It's not suitable for traveling, so I'd like you not to go out.First of all, the staff is amazing ❗ The food is even more amazing ❗ The scenery was beautiful even though it was raining ❗ I liked it because I had a relaxing time 👌 I would like to go there again if I have a chance!! ️

I was worried after seeing the negative reviews from other comments, but even if you take the fact that the building is old, the customer service with a nice smile and the food was delicious, which was great!The amount of rice was not enough to eat, and other people staying there also left most of it, so I give it a -1 rating from the perspective of food waste.

I visited with my wife and children.There was a diaper box for children and a baby bed in the public bath, which was very helpful!There are many steps to get to the public bath, so it can't be said to be barrier-free, so it might be difficult for people with physical disabilities.The rice was delicious and I was very satisfied (*^^*)

When we arrived in front of the hotel through a steep mountain road, we were greeted and left with our car.There is an open-air bath in the guest room, and you can use it anytime, but unfortunately we had to give up on the night due to heavy rain.There was also a massage chair where I could sit and relax while reading manga.The scenery was nice tooAll the employees were also very nice.Pork shabu plan for dinnerI'm pretty fullBreakfast is Japanese foodPersonally, the rice and pickled mustard greens were delicious.It was a good trip♪

As the name of Miharudai Onsen♨️ suggests, the view from the room is amazing!The food, hot springs, rooms, and staff service are better than the price!It's great that there's a ramen shop inside the hotel that's open until 11pm!There are quite a few different manufacturers of vending machines, and I think they sell drinks and alcohol other than sangaria.

A hot spring inn near the Ikaho Onsen ropeway.There are parking lots on both sides of the hotel, which was helpful as we could check in until late at night.It's nice to be able to take the Kanetsu train directly after work and get off at the Ikaho Interchange.The structure of the hotel is a little old, but it has been well maintained and the price is relatively reasonable, which was very helpful.

I want to relax alone! I want to run Mt. Haruna! I suddenly thought of this and went to Kimura-san. Does the building itself have a history? It looks like the room has been renovated and is very clean. For one person? It was a room with a double bed and no bath, but it was perfectly fine. The most important part was the tatami bath, which was easy to walk in and felt very fresh. Also, the dinner was quite enjoyable with dishes such as grilled abalone and soy milk shabu-shabu with Joshu beef. Best of all, the 60-minute all-you-can-drink option is cheap and very good. It was the perfect plan for me, a drinker.The breakfast is also very good, like the breakfast at the ryokan. It's kind of ordinary in a good way, but that's what I was looking for, so I was very satisfied. I would like to use it with my wife next time.

Used for travel on 202408-09.I had the mega-shabu course for dinner, and I was very satisfied with the delicious meat.The tatami bath was very nice as well.It was a fun experience to have a retro game with the Mini Famicom that you can borrow at the reception.Nearby is the famous stone steps of Ikaho, so I think you can enjoy a walk.

The worst accommodation ever.I made a reservation for a one-night, two-board plan on the reservation screen in the evening, and the email I received in response said that there would be no meals, so I called immediately, but since it was the closing time, I canceled it online. I called the next day, butOne point is that once you have made a reservation, you will have to pay a cancellation fee.Since we had a reservation, they also prepared futons. (lol)Well...Even though I canceled the reservation within 5 minutes, they even prepared futons in the meantime, which is a great response! ! (lol)The worst excuse they gave was that they couldn't cancel because they had paid in advance by credit card.When I checked with Rurubu, they said that even if I had paid in advance, they could cancel the reservation.Rurubu also called the inn, and the inn told me two or three times to call them. , no phone calls.As some people have written before, I often go to Ikaho to stay at inns that are more like "I'll take whatever money I can get" rather than "I'll have a good time next time." This is a place you don't want to stay in.Manager, Mr. Nakagawa,Thank you for your wonderful responseヽ(*´∀｀)Everyone, please be careful when making reservations.

Don't open a business if you're short-staffed. The individual customer service is good, but there aren't enough people, so the hospitality isn't good enough. The hot springs are nice, but I don't think I'll repeat them.

Ikaho Onsen has many stairs and is a good exercise. The hotel was older than I expected, but I was able to stay there cheaply, so it was a good deal.

The floors of the public bath and open-air bath are made of tatami mats, which prevents them from slipping, so even small children can walk safely, so you can bathe with peace of mind.It's relatively close to Ishidangai and can be reached in about 5 to 10 minutes on foot!
