I was looking for a place to stay in Gunma for the first time and decided on this hotel after reading the reviews.Rent a car and head to Minakami Onsen.As you get closer, you can see a glimpse of abandoned buildings...This has nothing to do with Jurak, but I think it's a shame that the area isn't getting more excited.As for the inn, the renovation has been completed and the staff will do their best to provide hospitality! That feeling was conveyed clearly and I felt good about it.The dinner I was looking forward to was really satisfying.Buffet dishes are often surprisingly mediocre, but each dish is delicious.I almost regretted not being able to eat a lot today (lol)They have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and I'm jealous of Donbei!I had a little Japanese sake and half a draft beer. Thank you very much.I love open-air baths, but I was disappointed that they were designed so that I couldn't see much of the outside scenery.However, since there is a building on a hill in front of me, I understand that it may be unavoidable to make it invisible from there.The inn is highly rated, but considering the overall situation, unfortunately I think it will be difficult to visit again...That's the impression I get.

It was my first time staying there.Our room faced the Tone River, and the autumn leaves were beautiful.The building is old, but the room is very clean.The buffet dishes are freshly prepared and piping hot.Roast beef and stone oven pizza are the best❗️I ended up changing a lot 🎵All-you-can-drink alcohol is also available for 90 minutes for 1,700 yen, so we recommend those who drink 3 or more drinks.The breakfast bread is also delicious 🎵

The couple enjoys traveling together without their children, and they visit many places. Mr. Juraku was very impressed with the hospitality, service, food, facilities, hot springs, colored yukata, and free beer after bathing from the time he arrived at the hotel! Everything was wonderful. I have also recommended it to my friends. Repeat confirmed! I'm planning to visit you again soon.

I used it on a family trip this time. The room I originally reserved was a non-reual room. I didn't usually get hives during my daily life, but when I lay down on the bed in that room, hives broke out all over my body, so I requested a change of room. I was asked to change my room, but I was shown a nicer room without any explanation of any additional charges.I thought it would be free, so I decided to use that room.However, I was wondering if there would be an additional charge, so I checked and was told that it would cost 8,000 yen. I was shown this room without any explanation and had to pay an additional fee. I tried to negotiate with them to get it back, but they told me to pay 8,000 yen. The trip I had been looking forward to was ruined.I will never go there again.
