I LOVE THIS PLACE. Definitely will visit again. The value was far beyond the cost. The staff were amazing—super polite and incredibly helpful. I was especially touched when I woke up in the morning to find my shoes neatly placed at the front door and the snow already cleared off my car. You get to experience many different types of onsen, all private, with beautiful views and spacious, elegant baths entirely to yourself. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They also provided yukata and a traditional kotatsu, making it a complete Japanese cultural experience in one package. I’ve stayed at several expensive hotels before, but this place offered even better service than some of the luxury hotels I’ve experienced. I felt like a vip during my stay. I’m genuinely amazed.

As part of my Gunma trip, I wanted to stay at a hotel with an open-air private onsen! I took a risk booking this one because, at the time of my research, there weren’t many photos available. The website only featured beautiful sketches of the rooms and layouts. I later discovered that the hotel was very new—less than a month old! Enticed by the promise of a serene open-air bath, I went ahead with the reservation. When the day arrived, check-in was smooth and easy. I forgot to get the concierge’s name, but he was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated his effort to speak English with us. When we were shown to our room, it was breathtaking. The view outside was spectacular, like a painting brought to life. Light snow was falling, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The private onsen? Absolutely top-notch—chef’s kiss! Breakfast the next morning was superb, and all the staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. This was undoubtedly one of the best accommodations I’ve stayed at in Japan. I sincerely hope the hotel continues to do well because I can’t wait to come back next time. Thank you again, Kanouya and staff! See you again soon! 🙏 Tips for anyone considering this hotel: Go for it—it’s absolutely worth it!

Even though it was a separate cabin, as a solo female traveler I felt safe and secure. People working at the counter were kind and helpful, food was great, I loooved the onsen and the view, even when the weather wasn’t perfect. The host also gave me a ride to the bus stop when the weather was really bad and it was hard to go on foot, so I really appreciate it. Also at the cafe there is an old Gramophone and you can enjoy listening to some old records, how amazing is that? One more thing - I think this property would be perfect for families with children. You can be loud and rowdy inside the cabin (with windows closed of course) without bothering anyone. I even received a JBL speaker from the host and enjoyed some beats and loud music, something that I can’t do in my Japanese apartment. Oh and also if you’re European I recommend setting the onsen to 35, personally I wasn’t able to handle hotter than that.

- Private Open-air onsen! :) - The room with tatami area and open-air bath immaculate! - room is very spacious in all aspects (toilet, bedroom, living room, bath). It is even bigger than it looks in the pictures - large comfortable beds - delicious dinner and breakfast served in a private dining room - lots of activities to do - night light show at the "Spirited Away" bridge, massage chair, pantry/ lounge, and If the private onsen in your room is not enough for you, you can explore the various shared onsen. - nice items at the souvenir shop - friendly and accommodating staff - great location - it is just a minute walk to and from the bus that takes you to the train station, likewise it is walking distance to many cafes and to Asunaro which serves chicken tonkatsu that your grandparents will serve to their favourite grandchild.:)

This was a tastefully designed, classy yet friendly ryokan. My room was Japanese traditional with tatami floors. Every item in it was beautifully designed. My own private hinoki bath on the balcony had a breathtaking view of the hillside and stream below, and the entire time I enjoyed the sound of the water flowing. The food was very good, they served a beautiful kaiseki meal that went on forever (it seemed). At the cafe, they served their house blend coffee called Mori-no-coffee which I enjoyed while sitting in one of their comfy chairs with an art book on my lap. The staff was courteous and nice too, it was truly a perfect day.
