I stayed here on a family trip. It's right next to the stone steps, so it's nice to be able to walk around easily. Although the facility looked old, it was very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.It may be a large accommodation facility, but it didn't feel crowded, and the bath was comfortable with just the right number of people. There is a large public bath and an open-air bath that feature 100% natural hot spring water, both of which are great baths where you can fully enjoy Ikaho Onsen.I was surprised that most of the staff, except for the proprietress, were foreigners, but I was left with a good impression as I could feel that they were trying very hard to provide hospitality. I was happy that they treated the children kindly.As for the dinner, the portions are enough to satisfy even adults. It was delicious. However, the meat used in children's meat dishes was so tough that even adults couldn't chew it. In the end, it was a shame that the children couldn't eat meat.The breakfast buffet was all extremely delicious and both adults and children were very satisfied. The restaurant was comfortable with a nice view. They let you in at different times according to pre-booked times, so it wasn't too crowded, which was nice.The room was average, but the noise was surprisingly low, and no matter how loud my kids were, they couldn't be heard in the next room, so I was happy that I didn't have to worry too much about traveling with children. I was able to sleep soundly at night.I had very good memories. thank you very much.

Saturday Approximately 62,000 yen per night for 3 adults Guest room with garden Room 601 at the end of the hallway on the 6th floorAlthough it feels old in places, it is clean and has wide windows and an open feel. However, the lights in the bathroom started to dim so I had to flick on a few times to check. Also, there are some holes in the screen door, and the garden looks a little worn out (this may be a concern for some people), but when the sun starts to set, the lanterns are lit and if you open the windows, you can hear insects. When I sat in a chair in a dark room, I felt very comfortable. Wouldn't it be good for those who want a drink after taking a bath?The location is perfect.I arrived at the inn around 2 o'clock, but they kept my luggage and moved my car, so I went straight to Ishidangai (I think I got to the 180th step), which is about half way there, so I'm a little disabled on my feet. However, I was able to slowly climb up to Ikaho Shrine and the drinking fountain. I was really happy because I had given up on going all the way to the top. However, it was quite a distance from the drinking fountain, so be careful if you are worried about your legs or back.I went to the public bath around 6 o'clock.It was pretty empty and it was my first time to experience a brown and cloudy hot spring. Although it doesn't have the same scenery as the men's bath, I was able to relax and soak while watching the hot water flowing down between the piles of stones. The only things that bothered me were that the shower was located high up or rather far away, which was a little inconvenient, and the airflow from the hair dryer was quite weak. The changing room was bright and very clean.Dinner is pork shabu kaiseki in the large hall. I didn't have high expectations as I had read some reviews saying the quantity was small, but it was enough. I wonder if it's not enough for young people who eat a lot or people who usually eat a lot? By the way, they will add more solid fuel to the pot if you ask, and you can also get a second helping of rice.Convenient for strolling around the stone steps at night.I went out after 8 o'clock, but it was lit up and there were a few shops still open. This time I went down from the halfway position. I felt that Moriaki Ryokan was in a really good location, and at the end I had fun trying out the target shooting area next to the inn.The open-air bath opens at 1 a.m. after the men and women switch places.For those who were in the men's bath during the day, there was only one other customer. Halfway through, it became reserved and I was able to relax with my daughter while enjoying the night breeze.I guess it's a little wider than the women's bath from what I saw in the photo?The breakfast buffet was bright inside, with wide windows and a nice view.The variety seemed to be limited, but it was enough for a morning meal. The seats are well spaced, and the seats by the window seem to be popular.Personally, the miso soup with daikon and beef shigureni was delicious, and my family said the curry was delicious. It was at this point that I suddenly noticed that there were a lot of young people.It was a bit surprising to see groups of people in their 20s, couples in their 30s, and families.The proprietress and other employees provide wonderful hospitality. I was especially happy because one of the slightly older male employees spoke to me in a friendly manner and cared about various things.Thank you very much to everyone at Moriaki Ryokan for your help.-Thank you-

I searched online thinking, ``Where should I go?''...It was cheap, so I made a reservation the day before. A different inn than usual.I was prepared for the price because it was cheap, but the footsteps of the child on the floor above were so noisy that I consulted the hotel...The staff were very responsive and arranged us another room. Thanks to you, I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time. Something I noticed... there was no water in the low-priced rooms, and when I ordered it, it came in a container that looked like something you would make at home!I was surprised, as I thought it was just an insulated pot. The newly prepared rooms have cold water pots...I see, I learned about the price difference again! Of course, there is no coffee etc. in the room.I think the food is average.I don't think the taste will change that much even if you upgrade your room. Breakfast is also average...If you are staying in a more expensive room, I think there are not many items.It would be nice if there was a drink service in the lounge ♡It is an open-air bath, but the first step is that the bathtub is deep, so I think it can be dangerous if you are not careful. I want one more stageIn the end, I think it's worth the price, so please consider carefully before choosing a room.

It was so good!This is one of the top hotels and inns I've stayed at this year!Moreover, the price is reasonable ♡¥50,000 for 2 people for 1 night, 2 days and 2 meals for a three-day weekend! ️I went by private car, but as soon as I arrived at the inn, the waiter took my luggage, and while I was checking in, he served me tea in the lobby and let me sit and wait, and I also checked in. After checking in, have some tea in the lobby and then move to your room 🍵The large communal bath was nice, but the large communal bath and the open-air bath are far apart, which is a drawback.The food was delicious!Especially breakfast was a buffet, but even though it's a buffet, it's been a while since I've had such a delicious buffet at a hotel or inn ♡Your room comes with tabi socks for you to wear after taking a bath.It was good, but the hair dryer in the room was disgusting💦I'm glad I brought it from home just in case.The lack of an outlet and mirror in the bathroom of the room is also a disappointing point 💦It's a shame because it's such a good inn💦

Ikaho's inns may be outdated in terms of service.The guest room is clean, contrary to its appearance, but when I opened the lid of the cup in the sink, the word sterilized was beginning to disappear, and I found black lumps...Shaver beard? The concept of cleaning has disappeared.I can't even flush the toilet in one go.I went out of my way to use the toilet in the hot spring public bath, which had been renovated.It was also the first time I left a meal on the road.Please eat dinner in the first half of the day.This is because you eat raw meat that has been on standby for hours on the gozen.It can't be helped since it's the first night of a three-day weekend, but even the first drink takes a long time. The group next to me was angry because they couldn't get their drinks to toast.The only saving grace was that it was a short walk to Ishidangai and the hot springs were good.You can buy Yunohana Manju from Daikokuya, which is on your right after exiting the inn, from 7am. They seem to sell out quickly, so we recommend purchasing them before breakfast! Each piece costs 120 yen, so it's bigger and more delicious than the freshly made one at Ishidangai, which costs 140 yen!
