Hotels near Kawazu Cherry Blossoms Hill Shiroi, Shibukawa

I stayed here on my first visit to Ikaho Onsen. The plan is a plan with dinner and breakfast of ”Joshu Mochi Pork Kaiseki”, and the experience and impressions are described below. When I arrived, I was greeted outside the entrance, checked in and explained in the lounge, and then guided to my room. I felt very comfortable because the staff was very polite to guide/explain. Thank you very much for bringing my luggage to my room even though it was heavy. The room was very clean and comfortable. The good thing about the facilities was that there were many outlets, which was useful for charging smartphones. I just felt inconvenient because I didn't have a watch. Also, even in summer, it got cold from dawn, and I felt it was difficult to regulate the temperature. Dinner was served at the venue, and it was prepared with a handwritten menu. The staff politely explained each item and cared about the replacement of rice, and it was a perfect service. The dishes are a well-balanced selection of meat, fish, and vegetables, and we were able to enjoy local ingredients. In addition to course items, a la carte dishes can be ordered separately. I think it was good that the liquor menu was substantial (there are 4 types of plum wine alone). About breakfast of the next day, there is too much volume and is satisfied very much. Especially the steamed vegetables were very delicious. Even at breakfast, the staff was very kind and polite. About bath. I used the large public bath on the 1st floor, the open-air bath on the 8th floor, and the private open-air bath, so I will list each. Only the large public bath on the first floor has shampoo and body soap, so go to the large public bath first. The public bath has a sauna and cold water bath in addition to a large bathtub. My first impression was that the temperature was a little hot for a room, but as my body got used to it, it became very comfortable, and it was a bath that healed my body and mind. The private open-air bath can be used for about 3,000 yen on a rotating basis every 45 baths. The hot water is slightly lukewarm, and I felt that it was suitable for long bathing. Thanks to all of you, the 45 minutes flew by in a blink of an eye, and it made me want to go in more. I used the general open-air bath in the morning to enjoy the view. The view was easier to see than the private open-air bath. Unfortunately, it was drizzling and it was hazy in the distance, but I enjoyed the last hot spring of Ikaho while watching the good view and went home. Summary (★ out of 5) ・Dinner: ★★★★ ・Breakfast: ★★★★★ ・Onsen: ★★★★ ・Room: ★★★★ ・Service: ★×100. About the minus points. Dinner is from the viewpoint of volume, hot springs from the viewpoint of shampoo and body soap, and rooms from the above-mentioned viewpoint. Regarding customer service, from welcoming to seeing off, I was treated very warmly, and I was very happy, so I gave it the highest rating. I am truly grateful that I had a connection with this inn. Thank you very much for your help.

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.

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.

With its location along the famous stone stairs and its access to abundant ”golden hot spring water”, one can easily tell this is a long-established hotel in Ikaho. And this is the reason for my choosing to stay here since it is not easy to find onsen hotels that offer ”natural flowing water” nowadays (onsen water will be ”recycled” in many hotels). If one's purpose for coming to Ikaho is for their good water, Kishigo will be a good choice because they have three hot spring baths, and I particularly like the one detached from the main building, i.e. Open-Air Bath Gonzaemon no Yu. I got a Western style room with view of the stone stairs, nothing fancy, but I do not mind. As a solo traveller, I was not given the choice of dining at the hotel when making the booking. It worried me a bit at first since I always enjoy having traditional Japanese dinner in onsen hotels; and with this being my first visit to Ikaho, I did not even know if there is any restaurant in the area (shops in most onsen towns close at 5pm or earlier). It worked out all right in the end for there are restaurants, and I went to one that is just a minute's walk from the hotel. Dining out also meant I had more flexibility in spending time on a stroll around the area and relaxing in the hot springs.

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.

スタッフの対応がとても親切で，施設も清潔，快適に過ごせました。 ただ，広いベットルームだったのですが，深夜に着いたお客さんのベッドがなぜか隣，大きな部屋で他にお客さんいないのだからせめて離れたベッドにご案内していただきたかったです。 また，利用させていただきます。

The number of free services 々 is free content but more grateful than nothing. There are many female staff and soft impressions. Above all, I felt a pleasant hospitality. It is said that the pillow developed jointly with the manufacturer is a sleeping point, and the applicant also lends foot pillows. I later learned that there is a discount ticket for the nearby hot spring facilities. I am glad that you can see that. I only got a double room because it was a hurry reservation the day before. Even if it is a double, is it basically a single bed with a semi double bed? Most of this type of room seems to have only enough twins to count. The price for two people was not very different, and the twin of two large beds was good, but ‥ may not be easy. I feel that the sound and voice from other rooms were heard to some extent in the room and in the corridor.

1 minutes walk from Maebashi Station. For resource protection, amenities are styled to bring what is necessary from the lobby. Including these, facilities and facilities are available. Is it appropriate to think that breakfast is free? It is like a corona, and it is a way to pack it in a lunch box by oneself. There were few seats in the venue (in the corona), and there were many guests who brought back to their room. There were few restaurants around the station and it was difficult at dinner. If you prioritize sleeping, you can be satisfied. It is desirable to check the dinner in advance.

I stayed overnight alone for a legal affair. It was my first time staying at a hotel alone, but I was able to stay with peace of mind because it was on the ladies' floor. Check-in was also promised and there was not much time, but I was able to explain quickly and easily. The room was large enough for a single, with a large mirror, massage chair, and a steam for beauty, and a lot of service for women. The coffee cup was also fashionable and I was very satisfied with the service of the guests' eyes such as microwave oven and iron. The bedrock bath was booked at check-in and the time was 30 minutes, but it seemed that it could be booked even for an hour. The bedrock bath clothes and large towels were placed on the shelves of the powder room, and after use, they were returned to the box. I didn't buy alcohol from vending machines, but it's the cheapest and most conscientious I've ever seen. The rooms, corridors, spas, and bedrock baths were all perfectly cleaned in the hall. Traveling is my hobby, and I have stayed at many hotels and inns so far, but there are no hotels that are so clean 々. The self-service drinks in the lobby are authentic. The tea latte was delicious. Hotels that were introduced on TV and have good word of mouth sometimes disappointed that the actual situation was different 々, but I would like to recommend this hotel as well as repeat it.

I stayed in Takasaki after a long time and chose Metropolitan Takasaki at that time. When I stayed before, I remember staying in a large room with a low accommodation fee, but this time all rooms were set to have a high accommodation fee. The atmosphere of the lobby and the room remained the same as before, but the room is a standard single room with breakfast and ¥ 12,800 is expensive. However, I felt a feeling of cleanliness, and I was able to spend a relaxing time with an air purifier.
