The pension seemed very elegant and kind.Even if you like hot baths, the rock bath is quite hot, so an indoor bath is recommended for a relaxing soak. The quality of the hot springs is so refreshing.It was clean and beautiful inside and out. However, it is no different from the wall partitions in a normal house, so the sound of a toddler's cries can be heard. It woke me up in the middle of a quiet night.

I stayed here for one day without meals from April 20th to April 21st, and had a chat with the owner while drinking coffee on the way home!(31 years old from Fukuoka)At ``Ranblue'', we searched for and selected a place where we could stay at a low price. It was my first time staying in a pension, so I was a little nervous, but the room was very clean and comfortable, with a desk that made it easy to work on my computer.The hot spring in B1 is also Kusatsu Onsen, which has good quality water, and I was able to relax quietly in the hot springs.The owner's mother was also very nice and beautiful, and we had fun talking about Kusatsu and each other's health, and other trivial things.Due to the age of the owner's mother, she said she would close the inn in a few years.If you want to stay in Kusatsu Onsen at a reasonable price and in comfort, we recommend you to come to "Ranblue" now!

The hot springs were available for private use 24 hours a day, but there were times when I was told that I couldn't use the baths because they were about to be cleaned. It was very disappointing.It was a very disappointing trip because the receptionist was unfriendly and responded to everything with a somewhat mocking tone.This is my first time staying at such an accommodation facility.Also, I didn't turn on the heating much while I slept at night, so it was very cold all night. I caught a cold.If you can't adjust the strength of the heating, I wish you could at least adjust it so it wasn't cold.I was told to take a hot spring bath even though it was cold.

You can get there in 10 minutes on foot from Yubatake. It's perfect for a walk. There's a bit of a climb up the hill, but it's not difficult, and the area around the pension is a quiet forest. It is closer to the convenience store in Yubatake. However, the bath was too hot so I couldn't take a bath, so I warmed up just enough by pouring hot water over it. There are rock baths and indoor baths, but the rock bath is recommended. It's wide. Free services such as coffee are available. I was free to come and go at any time. The bath is also free to rent for 24 hours, and if you have a tag, it will be a sign that the bath is vacant.

I suddenly wanted to go to Kusatsu Onsen town, so I was looking for a place to stay, and two days in advance, a vacancy became available, so I made a reservation.It's nice to be able to use a private bath with your family. The location is also good, about 10 minutes walk to the hot spring town.

First of all, the location is surrounded by nature and the air is delicious. There's a Lawson nearby, so you'll never run out of shopping. There is also a vending machine that sells beer and juice in front of the bathroom.The exterior is a lovely northern European-style half-timbered building, and the flowers are also very beautiful.The interior decoration is also cute, perhaps due to the female owner's particular attention to detail.There are two types of baths, rock baths and indoor baths, and both can be reserved for private use, so they are recommended for couples and families. The water is a bit hot, typical of Kusatsu Onsen, so children should be careful. My husband says it's hottest in the morning. There is also a free hot spring nearby called Nikawa no Yu.There is a shared refrigerator in the hallway, but the space is not very large, so you should compromise on using it.Is the air conditioning in the room heating? There was one, but I didn't know how to use it, so I used a fan.The innkeeper will tell you a lot about Kusatsu, so it's the best inn for people who like to talk.Coffee, herbal tea, and water in the rest area on the first floor are all you can drink.There is a paved parking lot for 3 cars and a large gravel parking lot.The ashtray is located just outside the entrance.Overall it was the best accommodation.

I visited before the coronavirus, and I had a great impression of the hot springs, food (wine too!), and customer service, so I thought I'd like to go again, but now it looks like they're only offering rooms without meals.I'm sure there are various circumstances, but if the food and wine ever come back, I'd definitely like to visit again.
