・The hot spring source is Juodo no Yu. The hot water at the communal bath, Juo-do, is drawn from Asagama and Yunomiya, so its efficacy is said to be almost the same as that of the main bath. This inn is exactly the source of Nozawa Onsen's hot springs.・The building facilities are reminiscent of the Showa era, but the rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi and air conditioning, making it comfortable to work online in a quiet environment.・The meals are home-cooked, with a wide variety of food for breakfast and dinner. The freshly cooked rice is very delicious.・Located next to the bus terminal, easy to understand even for first-timers. Parking is easy and it is very convenient to go anywhere in the hot spring town.・The innkeepers are friendly and friendly, making it a great place to spend your vacation and feel like you're back at home.

5/5
They are kind, the food is delicious, and the indoor bath is hot spring.. When I suddenly went to Nozawa Onsen without a reservation, the tourist information center introduced me to this place.It was right in front of the tourist information center and it was pitch dark at first, so I thought it might be dangerous. But it immediately brightened my mood.The landlady was a very nice person, listened to my circumstances, and treated me kindly.The building is from the Showa era, but everyone at the inn was very nice. I'm sorry I thought it was terrible at first.. The food is really delicious. It's warm and has a wide variety of items. The homemade Nozawana was especially delicious.And white rice is the best. I ordered a second helping. Perfect for athletics!. The indoor bath seems to be drawn from a nearby source, and the water was nice and floating.It will relieve your fatigue.. The landlady's character is warm and easy to talk to. The coffee is modest and full of the desire to entertain customers, and the coffee is free with refills, but I don't drink coffee myself. I received hot milk instead. Thank you very much 😊The building is old and not very stylish, but the inn more than makes up for that with its wonderful hospitality.I would definitely like to use it again. I thought I would come with my family next time.thank you very much.I will add: Revisited in May 2024I had a good impression last year, so I came to Ikemoto-san again this year.First of all, he remembered me and gave me the same room as him. I'm happy.Even after this, I felt from time to time that there was a little consideration.. The room is a clean Japanese style room. The futon is fluffy and pure white sheets make you feel comfortable.. It's an indoor hot spring bath, but the hot spring water is flowing directly from the source in a small bathtub, and the heat is just right. If you prefer something hotter, there is an outdoor bath nearby, so you can go there. Yokoochi ♨️ is a 2 minute walk away.It's clean, even the indoor bath.. The food is already perfect💯! Just when you think you've got everything, there's even more freshly baked ginger! And oden too!It's so big that even I, a big eater, can't finish it all. The rice is homemade and delicious.Hot food should come out hot.The breakfast is also very voluminous and will fill you up.It's sometimes difficult to get hot, fresh food at guesthouses, but they always serve hot, fresh food. It's a blessing.. The doria was delicious. Everything else is delicious though.. Both the young proprietress and the former proprietress were nice people, and they answered every small request with a smile.When I asked for more water, they served me a pitcher of delicious water in a glass full of ice cream.The consideration is amazing.Although the inn is from the Showa era, it is very relaxing. I think it's good for people who want to take a leisurely soak in a hot spring.I always travel alone and this is the best accommodation.

I stayed here with breakfast included (8,600 yen). I am thankful that the indoor bath is a hot spring that can be used as much as you like 24 hours a day. I was the only man (me) in the room, so these things were all I needed. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the breakfast, which was a little lackluster. I feel like they should serve some grilled fish. Also, normally there is a bowl (container for rice) on hand or in a visible place in the cafeteria, so you can get a second helping, but (I'm sure) that wasn't the case. Considering the price starts at 8,600 yen, I wish the breakfast had some more thought and love.

Ikemoto is conveniently located next to the bus stop from Iiyama train station. We reserved the traditional tatami with private bathroom and breakfast. Breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious and clean. The staff is friendly. The location of Ikemoto is close to everything. It can’t beat the price. I would highly recommend if you’re tight on a budget.

Thank you for your help on my snowboarding trip. Thank you for your kind support before check-in and after check-out, which was very helpful. The food was also plentiful and delicious. Thank you to all the staff, including the soothing proprietress.As for the facilities, I would have liked a toilet and refrigerator in the room, so I will give it a 4 star rating.

[Location] ⭐️4・Right next to the bus terminal. You can check in as soon as you arrive.・There is a parking lot in front of the building, which can accommodate about 10 cars.[Bath] ⭐️3・Free flowing water from the source.・You can enter at any time from check-in to check-out.・The temperature is piping hot. I added water myself and poured hot water over and over again. High-temperature baths Nozawa style! There is an atmosphere of this throughout Nozawa, but I think it would be a good idea to try harder to control the temperature. It's a shame that we have to dilute the natural hot spring water with water.・The bathtub is large enough to accommodate 2 or 3 adults.[Meal] ⭐️3・Meal at the restaurant.- Overall quantity is small.・The rice is served in a bowl, and you can get refills as much as you like. However, I feel uncomfortable asking a staff member in a room away from the cafeteria to take my bowl and ask for a refill.・It seems like Nozawana is served sometimes and sometimes not, and there were days when it wasn't available for me. Since I came all the way, I wanted to try it as a tourist.・You can drink your own coffee for breakfast.[Room] ⭐️4・When I checked in at 1:00 pm, the futon was already laid out, which was a great way to rest my tired body.・It has been cleaned thoroughly.・Since it's a guest house, don't expect much from the facilities, but I did want a refrigerator, since it's okay to share it.

The hot spring B&B where I stayed at on the last day of skiing in Nozawa was very conveniently located next to the Nozawa Chuo Bus Station. This is also the only Japanese-style room we stayed in on this trip with a shared bathroom. The other days we stayed in were twin rooms. There is a ski drying room on the 1st floor, and there is a natural hot spring bath, so the accommodation includes a 150 yen bath tax per person.This B&B is the only one I have seen that has an elevator. The Yingbin Hot Spring Steamed Buns are delicious!
