It was my first time using it.The location was good, and the staff greeted us with smiles, making us feel at ease.My friend and I liked the ``Omori trivia'' posted in various places around the inn, which were written in an easy-to-understand manner.He also taught me about tourist spots, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Ikaho other than the accommodation.thank you very much.

It's a shame that Ikaho is not a golden hot spring. Perhaps it's because of space issues, but it's not very pleasant to leave your car keys with them and have them move them. All employees are polite. …

I used it the other day for a family celebration.Many of the course meals were locally produced and consumed, and were very delicious. The room we stayed in was spacious and we were able to soak in the hot springs to our satisfaction. Also, the staff were very helpful and explained the food and accommodation in a very easy-to-understand manner, so I was able to enjoy my stay. We would like to use you again.

My friend and I have known each other since junior high school, and now that we've both reached a milestone age, let's stay at a nice inn! I used it. When I think of a hot spring inn, I had a strong impression of being old-fashioned, but since it has been renovated, they have made good use of the old equipment, and the rooms are very modern, with cute decorations that make you think they were handmade, and a good mix of Japanese and Western styles. It was so wonderful. The meals were mainly made with local ingredients, and I was able to enjoy them slowly while looking at the menu.All of the staff members seemed to be a small group of elite people, and I was impressed by how they were always active and spoke to me in a friendly manner.I desperately entered the rooftop open air in the rain with an umbrella over my head. I was nervous because it looked like it would be visible from the ropeway and other buildings, but I'd like to hide it with something like a plant.If I have a chance, I would like to meet the owner as well.

I chose this place because I wanted to stay in a nice inn to commemorate growing old with a friend.It was a spacious Japanese-Western room on the 7th floor, with nice accessories and furniture, and I think it was a very comfortable room. The horse objects in various places were also cute.The meals were made with carefully selected ingredients, and you could feel the care and seasonality.(It's a pity that I couldn't eat it all...)I felt warm and at ease when I saw the menu and the detailed instructions written by hand.All the staff were wonderful, from storing my luggage to picking me up after checking out.I hope I can visit you again in a different season (^^)

I used room “606” on 4/23.24 for the first time in about 8-9 years. We have become a global company with more multinational employees than before, and even foreigners are kind and polite, as the name of the inn suggests, and if there is something you don't understand, you can solve it yourself. I could see that the landlady took care of the situation on her behalf.The guest room had the impression that the plumbing had been renewed and had a good sense of cleanliness, and the fact that you could change the lighting color of the bathroom mirror to your liking was also a good thing. Previously, I had a room on the Forest Park side (entrance side), so this time I chose a room with a nice view and was looking forward to the view from the room, but it rained on both days and the area was covered with thick fog, so I couldn't see the mountains of Gunma. It didn't come true. In the open-air bath, I put on a hat.It can't be helped, but I can't help but see Matsuya along with the open-air bath...I was concerned about the ⚠️ precautions in the room.I don't know what they meant by that, but I saw a sign about smoking cessation pasted on the LCD screen, which made me laugh. I was wondering why it wasn't part of the frame.For dinner, we had dinner at Hifumi-an next door, which was very nice because the ingredients were limited to what we could eat. The main dish was Joshu Akagi beef sukiyaki, which was colorful, and the ``Iwata egg'' was so good that you could pick up the yolk and lift it up. The brand rice ``Hana Yukari'' had a nice gloss and sweet taste. (Other recommendations include Akagi beef steak 🥩, Joshu mochi pork steamer steaming 🐷, and more!)I used to look forward to drinking at Mameya Kitchen, but in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the policy has changed to serving pasta and pizza in your room.GOOD STAIRSFor breakfast, it is recommended to have millet porridge before white rice, and the steamed steamed Wieners are so plump that they burst like chau esse.Eating the "red shiso ponzu sauce" with natto was especially delicious, and I took it as a souvenir. .Also, as the name of the prefecture states, horses were taken care of at the official ranch, so many horses can be seen on the walls of the 1st floor bath and in paintings, and the way people tie their chopstick bags together indicates that they value horses. I could see something.It may be easier to move your car if you park your car in reverse at check-in. The destination may be an old tennis court (which is quite far away), so don't forget anything you need.Thank you for treating us kindly, even though we were unfriendly and check-out was late. I don't know when I will go to Ikaho again, but I would like to visit again.

Stayed on the Saturday and Sunday of September 14th, a 3-day weekend.It is difficult to make a reservation for a single person at a hotel or inn in a famous hot spring town, but luckily I was able to make a reservation for this date, and the room was a single room called a ``Business Western Room'' and had all the necessary facilities and was comfortable.We received a detailed explanation at check-in and enjoyed the large public bath on the 1st floor and the open-air bath on the 8th floor.There were no slippers or sandals in the room, so I had to move around barefoot and in socks, so I was a little concerned about that.When I travel all over the country, sometimes the sandals and slippers at the hotel don't fit my feet, so I bring my own slippers.If you don't like walking through the hallways of your accommodation barefoot or in socks, bring your own slippers.Of course, there are probably better hotels and inns in Ikaho Onsen than here, but there is no end to it.For me, this hotel has brought back good memories of Ikaho Onsen.
