Business Hotels in Shibukawa

Visited in July. This is the first Ikaho Onsen. [Access] Was it about 10 minutes from Ishidan-gai? If you come by bus, I think it's close to getting off under the view. There is a convenience store on the way from Ishidan-gai. [Common section] First of all, I was surprised at the beautiful appearance and size of the exterior. It is a very nice building. I was even more surprised when I entered the lobby. Luxurious and beautiful. And we were greeted by a full range of facilities such as kids rooms and free drinks. There are slopes and lifting facilities in the hotel, so I think it is excellent in consideration. There is a footbath available at any time. [Room] It was a Japanese-style room with 10 tatami mats. There is too much room for two people to use. It is as beautiful as the common area. When I arrived, the air conditioner was on and it was already cool. There is no bathtub in the room and only a shower room, but it feels fashionable. A humid air purifier is installed, but the tank for water was shiny. Such detailed consideration is good! I really thought. It is unclear if there were guests in the upper, lower, left and right rooms, but I could not hear the sound of other rooms. Also, since the entrance to the room is a sliding door, it is good not to hit when leaving the corridor. There is nothing special about the view. [Bath] There is a rock bath and a large communal bath with a men's and women's time shift system. Both can be used as golden hot water and asrogane hot water. It's a little disappointing that there is no locker with a key in the dressing room, but there is a valuables locker outside. The large communal bath has a tormarine bath and a sleeping bath, but all are a little hot. The golden hot water was a little lukewarm. I'm glad that there is hot water in the golden hot water. The sauna is like a low temperature sauna, and the thermometer pointed to around 85 degrees, but for some reason it sweated well and was able to warm up efficiently. The cold bath is normal. The rock bath is in the basement and is narrower than the large communal bath, but there are lanterns and streams and the atmosphere is very good. The hot springs are a little lukewarm overall. Personally, I liked the temperature this way. There was a small sauna with a capacity of about 2 people, which was also about 80 degrees, but I felt it was hotter because it was small. The cold bath felt colder than the one in the large communal bath, but the water level was a little low. About the dressing room, I wanted to increase the amenities (skin lotion, etc.) without １ in the mirror. Also, my wife said that there was no make-up remover, so I bought it at the shop. There may be room for improvement around the dressing room. [Cooking] There seems to be several restaurants, but I use the buffet on the first floor. It's not a time-specified form, but a form of coming to the close and finishing the meal. What should be noted is that the steak and tempura cooked by the chef in front of me were very delicious. The steak was very soft and I realized it the moment I grabbed it with chopsticks. The tempura was small, but it was freshly fried and crispy. Also, there was a crab offering, but it was not a dry one peculiar to the Viking, but it was well packed and delicious. In addition, the miso stewed maba tofu, beef suji and vegetables was quite delicious. For children? There was a sweets manufacturing machine and a shaved ice machine, and I thought I would be happy if I had a child. [Staff response, etc.] I think it was good. I was informed that it was possible to settle in advance from 8 o'clock, but I would be even more happy if you could do it about an hour earlier. [About the price] I was able to stay cheaply because I stayed using the welfare business at work. [General comment] Satisfaction is high in a beautiful inn. If I had the opportunity to revisit Ikaho Onsen, I would like to use it again. However, since this time it is not used at the normal price, the evaluation may have changed a little if it was higher. Also, although it is not a story peculiar to this inn, I thought that it was necessary to keep in mind that Kusatsu Onsen and Ikaho Onsen have completely different spring quality. (the reason why I came to Ikaho Onsen is that there are not many inns that can do welfare business at Kusatsu Onsen, and it is the same Gunma Prefecture, and Kusatsu and Ikaho are the same? Because I thought...)

A long-established hot spring inn near the stone steps of Ikaho Onsen. It has a reputation for warm hospitality. The characteristic is that there are two entrances, and you can enter from the stone steps side as well as the usual entrance. In many inns, there are many movements in the building with slippers, but since the whole building is tatami mats, you can walk barefoot in the building. The food was delicious and the amount was appropriate. The bathhouse was also large enough to relax. On the other hand, although it is a family saying because it is a good inn, there were some staff who were still developing in their behavior. I would like to expect that I will grow up as a good staff with good teaching from my predecessors. There was also a machine in the room for massage of my feet. I think the massage machine after the bath is cleaned frequently, but I was a little worried about the sanitary condition of the machine in the room. Because it is a thankful consideration, I think that it was able to use it more comfortably if there was a display such as ”cleaned”.

It was here that I suddenly needed to stay in this area for consecutive holidays, and it was vacant. I could only book a smoking room for one of the two nights, but the smell of the room was quite strong for non-smokers. It may be that only heavy smokers usually stay. If you do not smoke, it is safer to exclude smoking rooms from consideration. The site is along the national highway, and it takes a little over 30 minutes to get to the Tsukiyono Interchange on the lower road. Families with snowboards were also staying. Of course, there is no such thing as a drying room. There are Lawson and 7-Eleven within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about shopping. I couldn't find any kind of restaurants nearby. It seems that you can eat something simple at night at the breakfast restaurant in the hotel. The large public bath is a rather small size with four washing areas. It is not a fine public bath like the latest route inn. Free breakfast is usual route in quality. The breakfast bread and juice they use are the same ones you see anywhere in the country. There is no particular problem with the hotel's customer service. The parking lot has a lot of sections, but it felt cramped compared to the latest route-in. It is a hotel that can be used in various ways, not just for business purposes.

A very local hotel popular among the local business travellers. I was there to explore Gunma mountains and this is one of the best western style hotel I can find that is close to train station. I do have to say the hotel is very old but everything still good for me. The single room is small but it has everything I need. Their 8 floor dining area for breakfast was so awesome as you have a wide view of the town and mountains around it. Breakfast is acceptable and I don’t have any complaints about it. What I like a lot is that they also provide free curry rice every weekdays excerpt weekend and public holiday. Although the curry rice is very simple without any meat, but it was so comforting to eat it. There’s also an onsen that you can use it, and a common room with comics, massage chairs and old school computer to use.

The building itself certainly looks like Taisho, but it's a pity that it's not maintained. I stayed in a room called [Omatsu], but overall it was a little dirty and more than 10 shoji were torn. 90% of the employees are foreigners, and although I am doing my best, I often couldn't communicate well. This has to be crushed one by one and explained, which is troublesome. The foreign staff explained something at the time of the meal, but I didn't know what I was saying at all. I think the person who is saying also understands the content and doesn't talk. The room was cold and I had you prepare an oil fan heater, but there was little kerosene and I felt very cold at midnight. I hope you don't get stingy in a place that can't be helped. Overall, it was a subtle inn with a lack of hospitality, just because the building has a history. I think Ikaho's golden hot spring itself is a wonderful hot spring, so I recommend other inns.

I can see that it is a historical hotel. Because it is a Saturday relationship, the unit price I booked is a bit high, but compared to the hotel in Tokyo, I am relieved. This hot spring hotel is all-Japanese, breakfast and dinner are all, if you want to drink coffee, there is a vending machine, The room and the hot spring feel that there is a new finishing, only the hall has traces of history.

Not only the hotel, but the entire Ikaho service staff are mainly Japanese seniors. There is a built-in izakaya inside the hotel. There may be few people when I go there. Only my friend and I had dinner that night. I thought it was closed. When we saw we were about to eat, everyone opened the door for the two of us and managed it. The grandfather of the izakaya was very, very enthusiastic. Obviously we only ordered two bowls of ramen😂 They just sent two glasses of orange juice, two bowls of rice, and the sauce they made. They said they were delicious and must be tried. Taste it. Finally, when we left, we gave us two more glasses of wine for us to take back to our room and drink slowly 😂 The hotel also has a bathing area, and there are really very few people, which is equivalent to booking a place with my friends. The overall experience is still very good, I hope this store will get better and better🤣

While visiting Ikaho in 2019, I saw 福一 while walking the stone steps. The unmaintained, unkempt external of the building and the bags of trash littered around the building were enough to make my visceral reaction be one of… I’m glad I’m not staying there. Unfortunately, while visiting more recently, the ryokan I’d stayed at previously was fully booked. I happened upon 福一’s website and didn’t realize that it was the same ryokan that had made me internally shudder. The website makes you believe this ryokan will be updated and beautiful. Don’t be fooled like me. The ryokan was old and dirty inside. I’ve stayed at many ryokans and I don’t mind old buildings and fixtures, furniture, etc. Old can be beautifully-maintained and clean. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case here. Carpets in common areas were horribly stained. Parts of wooden fixtures were peeling off. There was mold in the sink in our bathroom. The bathroom trash can was literally a yellow bucket that has not been cleaned of stains in quite a while. There was mold covering the soap dispenser in our room. The room I booked was called the “Modern Japanese room”. Superficial things in the room had been updated (like the wallpaper) but the sink, shower, bathtub, etc were obviously from when the ryokan opened. The food was disappointing as well. It’d obviously been cooked in huge batches beforehand and was just sitting around for awhile prior to being served. The rice in the 炊き込みご飯 at the end of the meal was cold and hard. Anyone who is familiar with rice would know it’d obviously been cooked well before and had been left out for awhile. The breakfast buffet had plenty of variety but the quality of the food was poor. All in all, quite bad cost performance. While this ryokan charges the same price as other ryokans in the area, the quality of the room and the facilities and the quality of the food really don’t live up to the price point. I couldn’t wait to leave 福一.

Our first night at Ikaho Onsen was at Hotel Matsumotoro. Matsumotoro was built on the east side of the road in the hot spring town of Ikaho Onsen. The site was full in front of the building and entrance, so I was directed to a parking lot a little further away. There aren't that many rooms, but the public spaces are spacious, so I was able to spend a very comfortable time there. There was a footbath next to the entrance, but since it was right next to the entrance and by the road, it didn't seem like it would be very relaxing, but the hot springs on the 2nd and 8th floors were comfortable. did. Each hot spring has two types of hot springs, ``Kogane-no-Yu'' and ``Shirogane-no-Yu'' from Ikaho Onsen. In particular, from the open-air bath on the 8th floor, you could see the mountains in the distance and the city lights of Ikaho's hot spring town. Additionally, the public baths on the 2nd and 8th floors are open for men and women, so you can enjoy different hot springs at night and in the morning.

We stayed with a couple. The staff service was good and the facilities were a bit old, but the large rooms were able to spend a relaxing time looking at the mountains. It is close to the middle of the stone steps for about 3 minutes, and it is also happy to be able to walk around the hot spring town with yukata easily. The hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot spring hot The dish was mainly sukiyaki of Joshu beef, but the dish that can be served with a lot of ground ingredients and finally a rice is also very satisfying. However, it was very unfortunate that the rental bath was too hot to be soaked.
