Enjoy plenty of hot spring waterIt was a very satisfying stay.The cleaning is also thorough.Also, the facilities in the room were new and very clean.When I open the windowThere is a beautiful river flowing through it and it is very atmospheric.I thought it would be even better if it was during the autumn leaves season.All the meals are very delicious.Each item was carefully crafted and tasteful.A relaxing trip for a couple after a long timeI had a great time.thank you very much.

I was lucky to have a discount because this onsen collaborates with the camping place nextby.So I couldn't see rooms or rate the service, only visited an onsen.It was very beautiful and clean. Apparently the highest alkaline level within all Japan! Extremely rare quality of water.4 stars only because I usually love super hot water onsens (38-42 degrees) this onsen was surprisingly just warm. (But this is just a personal preference)

I recently stayed at this traditional ryokan while visiting my father, and I had a phenomenal experience!!Firstly, my father found this location because he was looking for a hot springs that I (a decently tattooed foreign visitor) could still enjoy. We stayed in a room that had its own personal bath to avoid any potential issues, but the setup was fantastic! The bath area is located to the rear of the rooms right outside so you have a beautiful view of the river and woods. It is also possible to reserve the main bath so that for a period time the whole bath is only for you and your family/friends. The ambience is very traditional and peaceful and I would thoroughly recommend this to anybody visiting.Secondly, I have a wheat allergy/gluten free diet. Japanese’s cuisine is usually not the most accommodating for gluten free due to the use of say sauce in almost everything. The chefs and servers here were so helpful that I could barely believe that everything they made for me was gluten free. Every dish they served, they were able to make accommodations except for maybe two small sides. One of the dishes was a tempura platter of seasonal Ayu sweet fish and vegetables, and they made my portion in a separate fryer tatsuta/karaage style with potato starch. It was so good!!! Speaking of the seasonal Ayu, the Atsugi region is famous for their Ayu during summer months, and they incorporated the fish into most of the dishes. I was told that during the winter they specialize in boar, and I would love to have tried that as well. Every dish that was served was described in detail about what it is and how you can maximize the flavor. The service, I cannot emphasize this enough, was absolutely impressive.Finally, if I could rate this higher than 5, I would. I have posted some pictures, because I am not eloquent enough to truly portray how much I loved it here and even then it does not do it justice.

They were very detailed and flexible in accommodating my flour allergy, and it actually felt more luxurious than the regular menu.The customer service was also very pleasant, and I was able to have a delicious and enjoyable dinner. Even though we had an unusual request to only have dinner with my uncle and his son who was staying at the hotel, we added a one-day hot spring dinner plan. Thanks to your help, I was able to relax in the large open-air bath while listening to the murmuring of the river. This is a wonderful inn that will satisfy your mind and body.

A hot spring inn located in Okuzashiki Iiyama Onsen in Atsugi.Most rooms are separated.Each room has a large solid pillar, giving you the feel of a luxurious, old-fashioned hot spring inn.In winter, it is cold to move between separate rooms.

Arrive in 1 hour by car from TokyoAlthough it was before 3pm, I was shown to my room.You can bathe 24 hours a day in rooms with open-air baths.The barrel-shaped bathtub is for one person.I also took a private bath.The windows are high up and there is no view.It says that the public bath is open until 11pm.Although there wasMy companion was taking a bath after 10pm.Looks like the lights were turned offThe men's and women's baths are switched in the morning.You can only enter until 9am in the morning.I have to go in before breakfast.There will be no time to enterThe meals are plentiful for both breakfast and dinner.I was very satisfied.Good hot springs and easy access from TokyoShould I make it a regular lodging?

I stayed at GW.The location was quite good and the hot springs were of very good quality.However, the changing room in the raccoon bath was disgusting because there were so many feathered ants, and at dinner time, the service was slow and the waiting time was long, which made me very dissatisfied.I don't think I will stay there again.I think this is an accommodation that does not match the price.I think it's a good place, and the average price for accommodation is around 13,000 to 17,000 yen.

I stayed here for one night for a business party.This is an old but quaint and quiet hot spring inn near Tokyo.Please note that the baths are open until 11pm.The rooms are old, but the toilets and other facilities are new and clean.Breakfast was very delicious.It was my first time eating open sweetfish.My favorite type of breakfast includes a lot of rice.I recommend it.

For the second year in a row, I was looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms at the hot springs and hearing the sound of the river, but I was disappointed because the cherry blossoms had just begun to bloom. But I'm very satisfied.

I never thought there would be such a wonderful hot spring so close to Tokyo! The service is top notch and the food is great. I was particularly impressed with the wild boar hotpot. I would like to use it again.

This is a long-established hot spring inn.The food and hot springs were great, but it feels old in many ways, probably because it's been built for a long time.At the hot springs, it seems that the large baths have been divided into smaller areas to heat them, perhaps in response to the rise in gas fuel prices.The hospitality was great, but the facility was so old that the child was feeling unwell from the cold draft.I visited in February and the plum blossoms were beautiful, but I was told that the cherry blossom season is also beautiful.

I used it for a day trip.I am very grateful that there is a day trip plan (*^^*)From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had been to a nice, old-fashioned inn for the first time in a long time because of the smiling faces of the waitresses and the kindness of the people who brought me meals. Tea is now available in tea bags wherever you go, but tea is served in a tea caddy. Ah, this is what I thought (* ˊ꒳ˋ*)Since the bath is a day trip, it seems like it changes to the men's bath in the morning, so I couldn't take a bath at all, but it was a great alkaline spring that made my skin smooth.I was very satisfied with the meal!I thought that a kaiseki meal might not be enough for my big eater, but I couldn't eat it anymore. This combination is well thought out! ! It was a series of surprises!If there was something I would like to ask for, I would like a menu (*^^*) Also, make-up remover for the bath.(I brought makeup remover with me, but I was too lazy to go back to my room lol)Since it's nearby, I wanted to visit again. Thank you for seeing me off with a smile.

This is my second visit.The male waitress last time was very attentive and nice, but this time I felt a little...I parked my car in the parking lot and packed up some bags, but when I asked, ``Shall I help you?'' I told her that I was repacking them, so I didn't want to show them the contents of my suitcase or bags. So I declined.Also, when I was in that situation, I was told, ``Please fill in the accommodation book for the time being,'' so I was asked to fill it out in the parking lot! I screamed in my head, but with my mouth I gently refused, saying, ``Can I go to my room after this is over?''Since this was my second visit, I knew the location, so I went to the restaurant about 10 minutes before the meal time, but no one came. As we were doing so, the male waitress came and said in a rather stern way, ``You said you would come to pick me up, but did you come by yourself? Now you know the place well!'' I replied, ``Because you said it was your second visit,'' and she said, ``I was in trouble because I couldn't answer the door when I knocked or called, so I was wondering what to do.'' I apologized, saying, ``I did.'' But later, when I was alone with my wife, she said, ``I never said anything about coming to pick me up,'' so I thought that I certainly didn't remember. It depends. Well, it's okay😅Even when I was carrying food, I was always feeling hot and uncomfortable, as if I had a cold. Also, the private room in the restaurant was hot, so I left the door slightly open, but other people were carrying food. Although the others opened the door in the same way and left, the father's door was always closed tightly, and I felt that this person was not attentive. Wouldn't it be better to re-educate yourself a little more?The hot springs are good, the food is delicious, and the rooms are spacious, so the only drawback is that the air conditioner is small and a bit cold, but it's a shame because I thought it was a good accommodation.I'd like to take this opportunity to stay at another hotel.

First time useGuest room with open-air bath (keyaki room)Both the food (dinner and breakfast) were very delicious, including the quality.In particular, my first boar hotpot had no smell and had a light texture, so I ate it all!As rumored, the hot spring had a soothing, sticky feeling that seemed to cling to the skin, and it was a long bath.

I visited with a group.This is a pure Japanese facility.In addition, you can enjoy an elegant view from your room, regardless of the season of fresh greenery or autumn leaves.Of course, the food is delicious and you can feel the enthusiasm of the staff who prepare the food. We had a great time.It's amazing how close you are to such a wonderful place in the Kanto region, yet you don't realize it! I will be in touch with you soon, including some reflections.

I used it in the winter, but it was so cold I thought I was going to freeze to death. The only heating in the room is the sleeping room (air conditioner and weak kotatsu), and the washroom and toilet are outside? It's so cold that I thought. It takes a lot of energy to go to the toilet. Did your air conditioner stop working in the middle of the night? I woke up because it was cold. The water in the bathroom stopped flowing due to the cold. Also, the humidifier saucer for the air purifier in the room? Is it slimy and dirty? Mold? It was amazing.The hot spring was very warm and nice, but there were no amenities in the changing room. I couldn't believe that there were no amenities even though I was paying such a high price. I didn't bring lotion or anything, so my skin died. (There was lotion and emulsion in the bathroom of the room.)We had wild boar hotpot for dinner, but it was so smelly that it was inedible. I feel sorry for the boar. My diet consisted of a lot of seafood, and I don't like seafood, so it was quite difficult for me. If you like seafood, I think you'll like it.I think it's probably a good inn to stay in from spring to fall, but I don't recommend it in winter. If you are going to pay such a high price, I would like you to improve the heating equipment a little more.
