A well-located inn within a 10-second walk to Yubatake.There is a parking lot for about 4 cars on the slope of the inn, but I happened to be able to park there this time.This time we had a 7.5 tatami room, which was surprisingly large enough for two people.The air conditioner was for the window, but it worked well and didn't make any loud noises. Even during the Obon period, the room temperature does not require an air conditioner at night.The soundproofing doesn't seem to be good, but the noise inside the building rarely bothered me. I could relatively hear large dogs barking and young people making noise near the hot spring field.The rooms are well-updated, with refrigerators, safes, sinks, and showers.It is surprisingly convenient that there are communal toilets on each floor.There are no baths in the guest rooms, only communal baths, but this time I was able to enjoy the hot springs without having to overlap too much with other guests.(Washing area for 2 people, bathtub for 3 people)I am very grateful that the socks I wear after taking a bath are free.Free water servers and coffee in the lobby are also nice services.I wonder if it's common around here to have a curfew.The room make-up seemed to be quite sloppy, and there was an issue where my personal bag got stuck under the table and got damaged, but overall I'd stay at this inn again. I would like to try the meal plan next time.

The guest room was a bit spacious at 10 tatami mats, and the location was very good, close enough to the Yubatake. The parking lot was quite difficult to find, so I stopped once past the inn and went to the front desk to check, but as it turned out I had already passed the parking lot, so I ended up having to take the same road over and over again, passing through a part of Yubatake where there were a lot of people. I would like the information on where to park on the website to ensure a smooth check-in.The location is good near Yubatake, but the walls and windows are thin so you can hear outside voices. You can hear doors opening and closing in other rooms and people talking as they pass through the hallway. I chose to stay there because it was cheap, but considering the service and taste of the food, I was honestly disappointed.When you come to Kusatsu, we strongly recommend that you spend a little more money and research thoroughly before deciding on a hotel or inn.

It has been beautifully rehomed, and the room is about 10 tatami mats in size, with a wide veranda, and a sink and toilet. Complete with yukata, towels, large and small toothbrushes, etc. The futon was fluffy and warm even though it was February. The food is delicious and plentiful, and the kamameshi is absolutely delicious.The indoor bath is a cloudy sulfur spring with hot spring flowers. This is rare even in Kusatsu inns.After reading the reviews, I wondered what this inn would be like, but it was good enough for us.Due to the location (a few steps to the Yubatake field) and the parking lot with a roof (spacious enough for a 2.3m tall car), I would like to make this my regular accommodation in Kusatsu Onsen.This is an inn that I can recommend.I gave a low rating for the service because they do everything necessary, but they don't make unnecessary efforts to make you feel relaxed (that's service lol), and there is no entertainment-like service.Personally, I give the service a 5 rating.Also, it's cheaper than the surrounding areas♪

I went on a comfort trip with a friend for the first time in a while. The person in the room above me was making a lot of noise during the night so I couldn't sleep at all. When I tried to contact the front desk, the extension line was not answered, so I had no choice but to be patient. I came here to relieve the fatigue from work, but instead I'm exhausted and exhausted.Also, although the website said that there was wifi, I was told that there was actually no wifi.The interior and facilities were old and reminded me of a school trip.Next time, I will carefully consider where to stay.

[Gabagaba security]●All windows are basically locked.●If you use the private parking lot, leave your car keys behind, but just store them under the reception counter. There is no one stationed at the reception desk and the entrance is left open.●The public bath is difficult for others to see, and the men's and women's bathrooms are right next to each other. There is no particular security in the changing room, and there is no safe to store the room key.●Beyond the window of the public bath is a road that many tourists pass by, so if you open the window, you can take a peek at it as much as you like. (Of course, that window is also unlocked)

There is no elevator, so elderly people may find it difficult to get to the bathhouse on the basement floor.Although it is old, it has been renovated and is not uncomfortable. There was some dirt on the ventilation fan grill in the room, and there was some trash left in the trash can in the bathroom, but that was to be expected.For dinner, we also had a grilled dish that included Joshu beef, which made us feel full. The tempura was freshly fried and delicious. The breakfast was just enough to fit on a plate, but it didn't feel too small.The cloudy white bath with floating hot water flowers was the best. There are two washing areas for both men and women. It's about the size of a family bath, so you can reserve it for yourself depending on your reservation. In fact, when I stayed this time, there were only two couples, so I had the men's bath reserved for myself.The location is perfect as it is about a 1 minute walk to Yubatake.I felt it was worth repeating in total.

Considering the cost-effectiveness, I would give it a 2-3 star.Prices are high because it's close to a hot spring field, the bathhouse is too small for the number of rooms, it's difficult to know when to take a bath when it's full, the parking lot is small and there's probably not enough on days when it's full, the food is large but lacks creativity and taste. When the live-in employee's room door was fully opened, the TV was so loud that it leaked into the hallway.As mentioned in other reviews, the payment instructions were vague (it's not that they don't allow you to use credit cards, they just don't want you to use them, but there is room to use them if you negotiate). Since it is an old wooden structure, you can hear footsteps, doors opening and closing, and the voices of drunk people walking under the window.The only good things about it were the location and the quality of the spring water. I couldn't use the bathhouse at the timing I wanted to use it, and I only went to take a bath in the nearby Goza no Yu, so I wondered why I stayed at the hot spring inn.
