Hotels near Ishida Kankou Nouen (Ishida Tourism Orchard) in Naganohara

Good food, there are many to choose from. Spacious room The facilities are impressed.

夏の繁盛期に1泊2食付き・夕食バイキングプランプランで1人で泊まって1万5500円。 お盆でアホみたいに高くなると言う事はないようで良心的である。 しかし繁盛期限定の特別プランであろう夕食バイキングはいただけなかった。 何しろメインと呼べる物がほぼないと言うか、今時ライブキッチンもない。 一昔前のバイキング、もしくはランチビュッフェの様な種類とクオリティだった。 味も不味くはないがスーパーのお惣菜レベルで、補充はされない模様。唯一美味しかった麻婆豆腐を1回おかわりに行ったが、最初の時点でカス程度にしか残っていなかったのに、次に行った時は自分がさっき全部取りきらなかった最後の豆腐たった1個。カスのカスがそのまま放置されていた(笑)。好きな物を好きなだけ食べれるのがバイキングだと思っていたのだが…。バイキングに力を入れている同価格帯の宿と比べてしまうと損した感が否めない。これなら素泊まりで軽井沢のグルメを満喫したいところだが、送迎の時間が11時と15時45分しかないので車が無いと町で夕食を取ってから来る事もできない。何故2本のうちの1本が11時なんだろうか。路線バスも無くなってしまう15時45分以降にもう1本あった方が助かるのに…。 大浴場に関しては露天風呂がない事がかなりのマイナスポイントだと思っていたところ、思いの他サウナが自分の中で最高レベルに良く、マイナスを補って余るほどだった。まずはおそらく90度はちゃんとあるであろう温度。そしてサウナからも眺められる浅間山麓の眺望が最高で、水風呂も冷たすぎずぬるすぎずでが外気浴ができない分ずっと入ってられるのが良かった。 部屋は広く清潔感もありリゾートの地の宿として充分な様相を成していた。 朝食は夕食同様種類は少なくビジネスホテル並みではあるが必要最低限の物はあるので、食べすぎずに済むと思えばまあ満足できる。 従業員に関しては、夕食会場のおじさんスタッフはとても感じ良かったが、朝食時の若いバイトであろう女の子は愛想もなくまあこんなもんだろうと言う感じ。 フロントの人は可もなく不可もなくで全体的に普通。これは割とどこのホテルも一緒なので割愛。 結果トータルで食事以外は概ね満足できた。焼肉やすき焼きのプランもある様なので、そちらにすればかなり満足できたかも知れないのでリピートの余地はある。 バイキングは本当におすすめできない。

Perhaps the biggest flaw: they don’t have non-smoking rooms. Aged hotel, great location, abismal architecture, ugliest building around the Yubatake, nice service, parking out of the town centre, but with a shuttle taking you back and forth any time of the day. The hotel onsen is ok, but not big enough to deal with peak times. Breakfast is fabulous. A true banquet. And service is so good that they’ll even bring you a nama tamago if you ask them. If you don’t want to pay for a traditional-looking bath house building, you’ll find nothing more convenient than this hotel. And if you have a problem with any ashtray smell of your rooms, they will desodorise it in a process that takes 1 hour. Perhaps not a bad idea to ask them to do this before your expected arrival time.

I stayed overnight with my family. Arrived by car and the parking lot was far away, so I gave the key and parked it. Check-in is fast. I booked a Japanese-style room with 10 tatami mats or 12 tatami mats, but it was very large with 4 rooms (main Japanese-style room, Western-style room with 2 beds, sub-Japanese-style room, 2 TV and table). The inside of the building felt a little old, but it is about the same as other hotels. The room is clean enough. There is also a yukata and a hanten, so there is no problem with warmth. I entered the hot spring three times, but there was an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and it was comfortable with ample size. The dinner was a kaiseki at the restaurant, and the amount was too much to eat, so it was delicious. It was a sukiyaki plan for Joshu Wagyu beef, but the children also praised it. There is a Japanese and Western buffet in the morning, and you can eat all-you-can-eat hot springs *. The location is perfect, 5 minutes walk to Yubatake. It was a stay that bought souvenirs at the shop on the first floor.

The facilities are not too small and expensive.

What I liked was that there was a nice seating areas inside for guests waiting for three out-door private baths and you can see which of these are available while waiting inside. It was very kind of them to do it. They have a beautiful Japanese style garden, and drinking free coffee and tea at the garden seating after the long hot spring (onsen) was the heavenly retreat. They even had free yogurt drink and ice cream at the bath area. Of course with water dispenser. We eat meals at the eating areas, but each group has a private room. Staff are also friendly to children. Only shortfall was that one of the outdoor baths in a public one was out of order, and water in a private bath was not hot enough, so felt like we catch a cold.

The hot water that the Shogun's hot water pumped up had a high ceiling and the warmth of the wood was very tasteful. The smell of sulfur, the amount of hot water, the slightly white and muddy color ... The quality of Kusatsu Onsen is really good. Flowers and artworks are displayed in the hallways in the hall, making you feel rich. The accommodation fee is a reasonably high inn, but I thought I was spending enough money properly. The employees were always greeted when they saw it, and it was very pleasant. I wanted to drink beer after taking a bath, so I searched for a lounge where I could drink light draft beer, but I didn't. However, there is a cafe with an inn right next door, and you can drink local beer (unfortunately you can't drink draft beer). Because the car is normal tires (because I was worried about snowfall), this time I left my car at the parking lot at the Kusatsuguchi exit of JR Naganohara and went to Kusatsu Onsen by bus. I don't think it's very publicized (I told you to park the car at the Naganohara Kusatsuguchi at the time of booking the inn, but there is no explanation from the inn), but Naganohara Kusatsuguchi ～ Kusatsu Onsen round-trip bus is Park ＆ Ride discount will be 30 ％ draw (parking ticket required). Since it is downhill from Kusatsu Bus Terminal to the inn (about ５ minutes), it will be a good walk while looking at the hot spring town. I think it is better to use the transfer bus of the inn because it will be climbing on the return.

I stayed with my family. I was surprised that Basho was in bloom during the search around the village. At the place of stay, the hot springs were very good and I was able to stay comfortably. However, because the facilities are large, I felt quite a lot of people.

This is the hotel taking 5 star from my own scoring so far in Japan. 1) Central location with free car park 2) Amazing Food with Kaiseki type traditional service(Dinner and breakfast). All the ingredients and the way that they prepare in nice atmosphere is amazing. I think it was the best food experience for me so far in Japan. 3) Indoor and open air onsen which is so clean. 4) Service quality and hospitality is top class. We wanted to give a surprise gift to our cousin. We asked their restaurant management to prepare a special closed ceramic bowl etc. They perfectly prepared more than our expectation. Moreover, they also gave their own small gift to our cousin. 5) Building also in traditional shape and well maintained. 6) Our room was traditional tatami style and it was big enough with bath tube and toilet. 7) First floor is the biggest souvenir shop in central kusatsu area.
