5-Star Hotels in Gunma Prefecture, Japan

Kinchoro is the more exclusive wing of Fuikuichi. The rooms come sight private onsen and it’s similar to most 10 tatami rooms. The service from the staff is good. They are almost invisible when you don’t need them but will magically appear when you need help, during meal times and check in/out time. The food unfortunately seem to be so so only. I didn’t find it spectacular, and in fact fringing on being a bit too inventive. Otherwise, all okay.

I want to go to a slightly extravagant hot spring tour with my friends. I chose this boutique hot spring, which coincides with heavy snow. The staff went to the station to pick us up. We wanted to watch the concert Blu-ray disc at the hotel. The hotel also borrowed a Blu-ray machine for us. The service is quite good! The balcony has a private soup, the view is beautiful, the dinner and breakfast are delicious, and there will be a chance to go again in the future!

No towels are provided in the public hot spring places and needa to bring from room to the onsen spot. Asked the staff about the routes from Kusatsu to Shinjuku and they have no clue at all. Finally got one English speaking staff told us that theres direct bus from the station to Shinjuku. Asked again whether advanced booking of the bus tickets are needed and the staff said it’s not necessary. We ended up the next day missed two earlier buses coz they were already full and we were reluctant to have 2 times transport changes by asking the tourism information centre. Barely staffs can speak and understand English well. However, the French set dinner are really nice and out of our expectations.
