A building made of concrete. I think it's better to prepare for the cold by managing the air conditioning all at once. It was early October, but I made the right decision by wearing Heattech to bed.

I took my girlfriend there for her birthday.It was a nice room with an open-air bath, and the hot spring water was flowing all the time.Large wall-mounted TV, Panasonic facial beauty device, etc.The attached equipment was also great.Alcohol, drinks, and small snacks were placed around the lobby, and we were able to enjoy them freely.The large public bath also has an indoor bath, an open-air bath, and a sauna, and the open-air bath was very pleasant.The rice was also very delicious.The quantity was also just right.

I used it during my trip to Kusatsu Onsen.The room was clean and the sound of the water in the open-air bath in the room was soothing and relaxing.It was great to be able to get honey bars and karinto food for free!Dinner also had a wide variety of items, and the Joshu beef was tender and delicious, and I was very satisfied. Furthermore, the breakfast was Japanese style, and the freshly cooked rice and pork soup had a homely taste and was very delicious. I would definitely like to use it again!

I stayed here as a couple.I chose this hotel because of the reasonable accommodation costs, the quality of the food, and the unique service you won't find anywhere else (honey tasting comparison).Although the hotel had a simple atmosphere, it was stylish and clean overall, so I had a comfortable stay. (The ceiling in the bedroom is high!)The public bath is not very large, so on days when there are many people staying overnight, it may feel a little small.The amount of dinner may not be enough for big eaters, but I think it's just right for an average person.The taste of the food was delicious. The combination of herbs and food was impressive.The breakfast wasn't particularly elaborate and was delicious, but it was average. (Is it worth the price?)It was also nice that you could use the parking lot as much as you like after checking out. It was a 10 minute walk to Yubatake, but the road was quite steep and there were many hills around Yubatake, so I was a little tired on the way back after walking so much here and there. (I think it's just a lack of exercise (lol))I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed overnight with meals included on my trip!It was a wonderful hotel with a concept based on herbs ✨[Good points]① Minimal customer service style with online check-in and mobile orderingCheck-in, dinner/breakfast schedules, drink orders, etc. are all done online, so I felt that staff operations were very efficient, making full use of mobile devices. Payments made during the stay can be made online, so check-out was smooth and compared to other hotels, there was almost no congestion at check-out!On the other hand, people who are not good at online operations on smartphones may find it inconvenient...(Actually, I get the impression that there were many young customers)②Welcome drink spaceThe lobby is filled with books about plants and herbs, and there is also a welcome drink space.In addition to coffee and apple/orange juice, they also had honey fruit liquor and whiskey, which surprised me and said, "Can you drink alcohol too!?"You can also try tasting honey, and you can also enjoy it with crackers or karinto.③ Mugwort steamed (women only)You can experience mugwort steaming for 30 minutes/2000 yen.Choose 4 types of effective herbs and do it completely by yourself. Not only did I sweat, I felt warmer and my metabolism improved![Points that need improvement]①About the ventilation fan in the room bathIt was a guest room on the first floor with a semi-open-air bath, but the lid of the ventilation fan in the shower room was missing...It wasn't that inconvenient because there was a large public bath, but I was worried as soon as I entered, so it's a shame...②About the lighting in the mugwort steaming roomI felt that instead of just having the lights in the room all on/off, I could place candlelight on the side table or fine-tune the brightness like in a karaoke room, creating a dimly lit space that would make the room more relaxing.The food is delicious, there are two types of hot springs in the large public bath, and I am very satisfied with the extraordinary experience.Next time, I would like to stay in a maisonette room with my family!
