I stayed there with half board because I wanted to travel to the valley and because I heard that my mother's cooking was delicious.The rice was delicious, as expected, consisting mainly of wild vegetables and rock fish, and I enjoyed talking with my mom as I ate it.The bath was also nice. Some reviews said it was full of mold, but it wasn't mold.I was a little disappointed that there was no refrigerator in the room, but it was clean and had a nice view.It was cloudy at night so I couldn't see anything, but there were almost no street lights and I think the starry sky was beautiful.I've been asked to come again, and I would definitely like to go again.

This is a road that can only be reached by car, and you don't want to go with a slightly larger or new car.Additionally, there was no air conditioning at the inn, so I spent the next morning without healing my tanned skin.The bathroom is full of mold.People who like it will like it, but the cost performance is not good, so camping is better for me personally.

Very tiny old onsen near historical pass. Good to visit after cold mountain river swim.

Food is simple . Just a small fish with some tempura vegetables . The tourists info at Nagiso who recommended this place says it has nice views . But not so . For the price of 12000 yen per person this is the most expensive place during my tour of Nagano of 2 weeks and compared with the other places I would place it at the bottom .

I visited this place while walking from Junikane Station to Kakinokake Valley. It seems that the main purpose is to stay overnight, but you can also use it for day trips to take a bath or just have a meal. When I visited, I was welcomed by an elderly mother and her son.When I went inside, it was dark and I felt uneasy, but through the conversation I was able to get a good feel for the place.For lunch, we had a seasonal tempura set meal and salt-grilled rock fish. It had a homey taste and was comforting. My mom said that tempura uses herbs and Wakasugi, so this was my first time trying it. It seemed to be busy as there were many guests from Europe. The place felt like home.

I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to the Ichikawa Ryokan family. I stayed there for 5 days and it was an amazing great experience. The attention and kindness from the owner were outstanding. Every day, I felt delicated touch with breakfast and dinner. The food is so tasty and well associated with fresh vegetables, incredible tempuras, excellent local fish, and meat. A huge thank you, they owner drove me to Tsumago and let me walk along the path to Nagiso and pick me up back to the Ryokan. I had the pleasure to meet japanese, Chinese, and Singaporean guests friendly guests. The surroundings with waterfalls and cascades are absolutely harmonious and the air regenerating. It is a superb place to feel calm and understand the Japanese Alps atmosphere. Please pay a visit and appreciate nature. Marvelous!

I had a wonderful short stay at ichikawa inn. Although a language barrier the host was kind and welcoming ensuring I had everything I needed. The accommodation is extremely clean and relaxing to be in with the addition of beautiful nature sounds surrounding the place. The meals made by my host were delicious and generous. It was clear she put a lot of effort in making the traditional variety of small dishes that are often foraged for nearby! Thank you ichikawa inn and take care !

The food here is worth mentioning.Exquisite country cuisine from Nagano. In particular, the wild vegetable tempura had a texture I had never eaten before and was very delicious. Horse sashimi, river fish, etc. were served.The number and quantity of items were appropriately voluminous and satisfying.You can feel the mother's heart in her cooking, saying, ``It makes me really happy when the customers eat deliciously.''The bathroom is also very open. I was surprised at first, but I was able to relax and enjoy the view.

If you go to this inn expecting a hot spring, you will be disappointed, but considering the price included the valley, it was a reasonable price.Speaking of the bath, it is small with boiling water and the hot water supply opening is just a normal one.For that reason, there were many day trip baths, and when I tried to take a bath after eating dinner, it was cloudy, which was disappointing for bath lovers.However, the water in the bathroom is all hot spring water, so you can just take a shower. Winter can be harsh.The meals are standard inn meals, but many of the local foods, especially vegetables, are grown at the inn, so you can eat fresh food.The horse sashimi was thickly sliced but still soft enough to be chewed and was very delicious, and I forgot whether it was yamame or char, but the overnight dried meat had a nice flavor and was delicious when you bit into it.The room had a great view and atmosphere. Unfortunately, there is no refrigerator.I don't like air conditioning, but I was satisfied with the electric fan.The true value of this inn is that you can combine your stay with a river trip in the Kakiso Valley.After checking out, I told him I wanted to go see Ushigataki Falls, and he said I could leave my car at the inn and go down.When I refilled my water bottle at the entrance and headed out, the parking space was full and there was nowhere to stop.So, the price is not bad considering that it comes with two bonuses: being able to stay hydrated and not having to worry about parking spaces.On the other hand, if you are only planning to enjoy the accommodation, I cannot recommend it.It's a price that allows you to stay at Narai-juku, so I think you should think about it carefully.Your impression of the price will change considerably depending on whether you consider nature activities or just the accommodation, so I think it's the accommodation that people choose.Personally, I thought it was a good stay.

Visited on 210130 My stomach and heart were full with the hearty and delicious food prepared by my mother and father. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. The bath is handmade with water made from Kiso Itsuki wood, and after the bath, a wood-burning stove, hearth, and kotatsu welcome you so you don't get too cold. It was the best.

It was a very comfortable hot spring inn. The people at the hostel were also nice 🤣 The rare mushrooms and wild vegetables were delicious, and although it was a small bathtub, I was able to take a relaxing bath and was very satisfied. I would definitely like to go again. (⌒‐⌒)
