    Walls are thin, and I could hear people talking late at night. A bit far from the central area.

    Very clean facility and good size room. Friendly staff. Nice Japanese-style breakfast. Onsen was awesome.

    This is a beautiful ryokan. The room was well-appointed, and the staff was so friendly and nice. Breakfast each morning was delicious and filling. The two private onsens were a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring.

    The place is great and features a traditional onsen. The staff are friendly and helpful. It’s a bit of a walk from Yubatake, but it’s nice and quiet. Also, there’s a convenience store located right across from the property.

    This was hands down one of the best stays we have had in our three different trips to Japan over the years. The staff were amazing, the room was huge and so comfortable and the breakfast was incredible. The private onsens onsite were gorgeous and great for my partner who is quite heavily tattooed so often has a hard time being allowed into onsens in Japan. Note, the rooms don’t have showers as it’s expected you’ll use the public onsen but they do have a toilet and a sink. Only thing to note is it’s slightly out of the center of town, but we had a rental car. Will absolutely return - highlight stay of our trip.

    Really nice small Ryokan away from the crowds. Breakfast was a very tasty Japanese breakfast. The room was quite spacious and modern. They also have private onsens which was really nice. We stayed for 2 nights. The first night, the room next door was quite loud until late, but the next was fine. Highly recommend this place.

    Soundproofing between rooms was non-existent, and we could clearly hear TV/talking/etc from the next room.

    Beautiful Ryokan with a great host. The private onsens were great and because there aren't many guests, we never had to wait for one. Breakfast was lovely, and our host even allowed us to take some food back to our room when one of us was feeling unwell. Fantastic experience.

    Everything was amazing! The size of the room, the private onsen, the breakfast, it was all so good and above expectations. The room is quite large, has the small living room space and two beds which is more than enough for me and my mom. The onsen downstairs is private and just what we needed to relax and unwind, they provide yukata to change into. The traditional Japanese breakfast was amazing! Everything was fresh, the variety was amazing and it was all so delicious. The location of the hotel is about a 15 minute walk from town center so it's not bad but just something to keep in mind if you want something a little closer to town center. There is a 7 eleven across the street if you need. By far a highlight of our kusatsu trip!

    Lovely Ryokan on the fringe of Kusatsu Onsen.

    A short walk (10 - 15 mins) to the center of town. Not unmanageable but some people may want to be closer. Knew this going in, so not a factor in my scoring.

    Lovely Ryokan on the fringe of Kusatsu Onsen. Nice quite location but has a 7/11 across the road and a couple of eateries nearby. In house onsen is a great addition, and the Japanese breakfast was filling and delicious.

    No complaints.

    Everything was fantastic. The ladies that greeted us were so adorable, the room vas spacious and very clean. We could choose the color of yukata and we could go to town and public onsens in it, also had baskets for towels. Breakfast is another experience in privet room that has a view on small garden. And charming older lady serves breakfast with many delicious thing in small plates. location for us vas perfect, ryokan is close to the Otaki no yu onsen, which we loved the most, and to Yubatake is 13 minutes walk.

    The on-site Onsen is bit on the hot side.

    The breakfast was excellent! I think it was a very traditional Japanese breakfast. The location was good. There is a 7-11 across the street and a few local restaurants nearby. It’s within walking distance (about 15 minutes) to Yubatake. AC was good even in the hot summer we were experiencing during our stay.

    The only minus is that sound isolation from neighboring rooms was poor and one could hear the neighbours especially if they were loudish.

    The breakfast was authentic and excellent, we only wished we could also have dinner there :) The room is very nice, the place is perfect clean, the hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

    Superb small family run inn that is perfect in every way. The personnel are lovely, helpful and friendly. The inn itself was beautiful, super clean with quite large rooms. Our room had both a sleeping and separate sitting area, all of which was very comfortable. The beds were the best of our entire trip, firm but still soft. And the breakfasts were superb, flavorful, filling and home made. We loved all the different touches provided and will absolutely come back to stay again! It was easy to park in their offsite lot and walk into town for the onsens and restaurants.
