Ogano Onsen Suzaki Ryokan

A long-established inn on the main street of Ogano Town. There is also a private open-air bath. It was a wonderful inn where you could feel the history of the town.

Since it was an inn that served meals in the room, I made a reservation. I decided to stay at an inn in Saitama's Chichibu District for the first time since I was told that they were offering both a nationwide discount and a special Saitama sightseeing coupon. Furthermore, during this period, there was a paypay point return (20%), so I decided to pay with paypay. It seems to be a popular inn, and even though it was a weekday, it was fully booked. For women, we provide a colored yukata service. The room I reserved was an 8 tatami Japanese-style room + 6 tatami dining room + bedrock bath room. I occasionally book a room with an open-air bath, but this is the first time I've booked a room with a bedrock bath. The dining room and sleeping room are not connected, so the sleeping room had futons placed first and a kotatsu, so it felt a little small. However, it was a cold day with the cold wave returning, so I was grateful for the kotatsu. The washroom and toilet had been renovated and were clean. The private open-air bath is free once (there is also a washing area). The private bath was a large bath, and the hot spring water in the bath was smooth and smooth, and it was a good hot spring. The hot water in the private bath is said to be from Dairyuji Onsen, also located in Ogano Town. There is no open-air bath in the indoor bath. When I used it, there was one person from my neighborhood (?). The hot water here is a little hot and not smooth, but it is a nice and gentle hot spring. The washroom area was heated so it wasn't cold (all-in cosmetics were available). The water I used after taking a bath was from the tap, but it was from Ogano City, which is famous for its water, so it was delicious. Dinner was served in the comfort of your own room, and served local Chichibu cuisine with gentle seasoning and fresh ingredients. Although it was winter, we enjoyed local flavors such as rape blossoms dressed with mustard, homemade konjac, wild boar salami, Ogano vegetable tempura, black rice from local Machida farm, and salt-grilled rockfish. What I was also happy about was that it came with three types of local Chichibu sake, and if you made friends on the line, they gave you a glass of beer (small) for free. 300cc of local sake starts at 880 yen. Before breakfast, I tried using the bedrock bath attached to the room. I think it used to be a 6 tatami Japanese-style room, but it is now a modern room with wooden flooring and bedrock bathrobes. The instructions told me to sleep on my back or stomach for about 15 minutes, but since I'm impatient (?!), I immediately went to take a bath. It's a waste. Breakfast was served in the room and was well balanced. The rice was served in a bowl, so I had to refill it and ended up eating a lot. I was happy that they brought me coffee after the meal. This inn has been in existence since the Meiji era and has been selected as one of the top 100 small inns in Japan. The host, the landlady, and everyone at the inn treated us with hospitality, making it a warm-hearted inn. I would like to visit again.
