I made a reservation at the last minute, but it was empty, and the price was too cheap even though it included rice, so I was worried, but when I arrived I was surprised!The hospitality was great! ! !It's a small inn and it's quiet, and it's not far from the Yubatake, but it's a little bit of a walk, so it's quiet and great.I had so much dinner that I was so full it was painful! The meat is super soft! Tempura was the best ♡Is it Japanese food that goes well with rice in the morning, and doesn't interfere with eating around afterwards? (There was a lot of rice so the two of us could eat two bowls each!)The room wasn't that big, but it was clean and the futon was nice and fluffy.When I go to Kusatsu again, I will definitely choose this place!! ️The bath was a hot spring ♨️ It's small, but since the hotel can only accommodate 4 groups, I was completely satisfied because I had it all to myself 💯 The hot spring was piping hot.I don't usually write reviews, but I wrote one because I don't want it to go bankrupt! ! !thank you very much! I will go again!I’m so relaxed that I don’t have any photos of my meal or my room 😭I'm deducting a few stars because it would have been nice to have a bath in the room, and because the slope to the inn was steep!The overall score is perfect! This is the first inn I would like to go to again 🥺

Stayed on November 17th, checked in 2 hours earlier than scheduled. The exterior has been renewed from the provided photo and is a matcha brown color.It's a small inn with 4 rooms in total, but there were 2 groups staying there that day.This seems to be run by a married couple only.Location: 7-8 minutes walk from Yubatake There is a slope, so if it snows? Note.Room: The room was well-cleaned and I had a relaxing time. Air purifier available.Hot spring: I felt that the bathhouse was limited to 2 people, but since there were 2 groups that day, it was always private and was very relaxing. Depending on the time of day, the hot spring concentration is very high and the slimy layer is thick and high quality. Personally, it's a suitable temperature. You can take a bath until 9am the next day, so we reserved the bath three times.Cooking: Thoughtful kaiseki cuisine. You can enjoy a relaxing time by eating in a private room on the first floor. There is an explanation of the dish, but there is no menu list, so I wonder what the ingredients are. ? ? I visited many times to check with the landlady. My tongue has become more sensitive than usual due to thinking about eating. I was impressed that this was the purpose of not having a menu list. Becomes really sensitive. Dinner and breakfast were very delicious.This is a good inn that provides the best hospitality for couples only. I would like to visit again if I have a chance.

A small inn located a little far from the busy area of Kusatsu. Stayed there from August 14th to 15th. When I arrived around 5 o'clock, I was greeted by my wife in Japanese clothes.Although it was an old building, the room had been renovated and was clean. There was tea in the room and delicious warabi mochi in the refrigerator. The air conditioner and air purifier are new. Also, the edges of the tatami were very cute with animal prints.Dinner will be served from 6:30. Dinner will be served in a separate (private) room. The edge of the tatami in this room has a fish pattern, which is also cute.The hostess will bring you each dish in kaiseki style. Halfway through, I handed over the baton to a young girl.The dishes were prepared with a lot of thought and were a bit unusual, so the meal progressed with excitement as we talked about the dishes, saying things like, ``This is amazing.''The bath is a cypress bath. The water flows directly from the source, making it very pleasant.The space is a bit small, so it's best to take your time and go in alone.You can enter anytime until 9am.This ryokan was much cheaper than other ryokans in Kusatsu, so I was a little hesitant, but I didn't have to worry. The hot springs were pleasant, the food was delicious, and the rooms were clean.

It is far from the center and takes about 10 minutes walk from the bus terminal.There are 4 guest rooms in total, where you can spend a quiet time.I was able to enjoy delicious dishes prepared with great care.Drinks with meals are separate from the accommodation fee and must be paid in full at check-out.

It's a little far from Yubatake.However, it is a quiet, calm and relaxing inn. I've been using this hotel for almost 20 years now, and it's a wonderful inn that has renovated the bathroom and always takes care of its guests.

It was really nice to be able to enjoy delicious food with my family in a private room without having to worry about those around us. I could feel the craftsmanship of all the course dishes. Both the appearance and the taste were truly wonderful. Everyone was surprised by the freshness of the sashimi, the deliciousness of the shabu-shabu meat, and the crispy way the tempura was fried. The prompt response from the hostess who brought the food to us was also pleasant.The bathroom is also made of glass, letting in plenty of light for a comfortable bathing experience. I've been here three times, and it was nice to be able to soak in the bath slowly without meeting other guests even once.The room was simple with no unnecessary things, but it was well-cleaned and comfortable.This was an inn with wonderful hospitality that made me feel like I would become a repeat customer once I came here. I was able to rest my body by traveling only a few times a year, and I was soothed by the wonderful food, hot springs, and the hostess's hospitality.

I chose this inn after reading reviews about the food.The location is about a 10-minute walk from Yubatake, at the end of a path that runs east from the center of the hot spring town.Meals were served slowly in a private dining room.The menu is a creative Kaiseki meal, with a well-balanced combination of vegetables, fish, and meat.There was a lot of attention paid to the plates and appearance, and the food had a homely taste that gave you the feeling that it was handmade.Personally, it tasted even better than the reviews said.

Although it is a little far from Yubatake, it is quiet and relaxing. The interior of the inn has been renovated and is very beautiful. The rooms are equipped with air conditioners, heaters, and air purifiers, making your stay very comfortable.The food is elaborately prepared and very delicious. It's nice that the dining room is a private room. An inn that I would like to come back to again.

The atmosphere was originally a corporate retreat, but the food was delicious and the customer service was courteous. It's a little far from Yubatake and there are some slopes, so be careful when it's snowing.

It is located far away from Yubatake.It's located at the top of a hill, so it was a bit difficult to climb, but the delicious food and hot springs ♨ were soothing.I was able to feel the hostess's casual attentiveness.
