Hot spring Hotels in Shibukawa

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”.

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.

In order to examine the group trip in February, we used the cheapest price twin 1 night 2 meal for our couple. Because the parking lot is another place, after you get off in front of the entrance, you will move to the inn and bring it in the morning. (so that you don't forget things in the car) Just a luxury car, you can park next to the entrance. Good location, about 5 minutes walk to the stone steps. Overall an old building, but clean. This time, I emphasized the cheapness and chose no view from the room, so the view is unquestionable. The bath was 々 (the same floor) separate from the open-air and inner baths, and １ inner baths were not available during renovation, and another one was a men and women time change. It is still inconvenient. The open-air bath can be bathed 24 hours. The meal was necessary and sufficient for the evening morning.

It is located in the middle of the famous Shijie Street in Yixiang. It is not very friendly for tourists who take public transportation and carry boxes. The road on the side will take a while to arrive, and it will be too tired to move up the stairs. However, the location of the entire hot spring town center is really unbearable. There is a soup at the door, which is an experience for many tourists. For the residents, there are three public baths and four private baths (feeling around 40, 50 minutes at around 3,4000 baht). The springs are different. One of the hot springs in the other is the most comfortable and the spring is the best. In addition to water, after the hot springs, it also provides delicious fruit vinegar. It is a good place to relax.

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🤣

We stayed here for two nights, Thursday and Friday, after the start of summer vacation. Overall, we felt that it was a great inn considering the price and quality. My husband and I often travel domestically and internationally, and we use a variety of accommodations, from five-star hotels to business hotels, but Pinon's reviews were good, and we could see why. (Location) It is very convenient, as you can get there directly from Shinjuku by express bus. The nearest bus stop is Miharashishita, a 3-minute walk away. There is also a Family Mart with a large parking lot nearby. It is a 10-15-minute walk from Kaidan-gai. (Facilities) There are four baths that can be rented out. You can check the availability on the tablet in the room, so there is no need to go back and forth. There are two types of Wi-Fi: in-room and general. My husband worked in the room, and the connection was smooth even when he opened a heavy application. Wi-Fi is a major priority for my husband and I, so we are grateful for it. There is a laundry facility on the premises, and you can use two washing machines and one dryer for free. (No time limit) Powdered detergent was also provided, which was convenient. Since we stayed for several nights, it was very helpful to be able to do laundry. (Room) My husband and I booked a double room, but it wasn't particularly inconvenient. The bed was a little small, but we were able to sleep soundly due to the heat and fatigue, so we didn't have to worry about the small size. We could enjoy delicious coffee with the coffee maker in the room. They delivered an extra cup on the second day. (Food) I didn't expect it to be country Western food, but it was better than I expected. It was more fusion than French, with some Chinese elements. The first night was better than the second night. For breakfast, we had the Matsumotoro buffet once and the Pinon set menu the second time. The Matsumotoro buffet was very crowded, with many homemade side dishes and was delicious. However, most of the guests were families, so it was hard to relax, so which one you choose depends on your needs. Most of the guests were couples over 50 and single guests, so it was a very relaxing inn. On Thursday it was really quiet and we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner, but on Friday it started to get busy, the restaurant was full and there was a lively atmosphere.

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.
