The onsen is amazing, they all have a great atmosphere and they have a mixed one. Great dinner and breakfast too!

This is the nicest developed hot spring I have been to anywhere in the world.

The authenticity, and the beauty of the hot springs/bath houses.

Perfect mix of authentic time period and modern comforts. They also have rooms that are older and more authentic with less modern comforts. The food and staff were all amazing. Specifically they went out of their way for my wife and I even though we didn't speak Japanese. They had someone go to the train station ( 40 minutes away ) to exchange our tickets for a later time. There were also numerous staff with excellent English... This is not common this far out and was very appreciated. Plenty of walking and the grounds are beautiful... Lastly. The Onsen... Amazing. My favorite was the outdoor one. Though they all were very clean and relaxing.

Very nice ryokan mostly made of wood but also very clean, 3 different types of baths, very relaxing with a river going in front of the rooms and sounds of nature. The meals were great as well, and the staff very welcoming.

Dinner and breakfast were seasonal and delicious. The baths were wonderful, the outdoor bath even more so in the snow. Sitting in the iconic main bath, one can only feel connected to the history of the onsen and ryokan.

It was a very old onsen that has been renovated meticulously,without changing the style and using many of the older parts.I visited over twenty years ago and it was a bit run down but now very impressed with the upkeep. The location is fantastic,and as snow was falling and the roofs laden down with heavy blanket of snow,I felt stepped back in time,but warm and comfortable. Which is not always the case in these older places.

This place is right out of a fairytale. It is serene, beautiful and very decadent. The onsens were absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff very helpful.

It was so beautiful! It is a bit remote, but thats exactly what we liked about it! It lies in a nice valley, that in december was a bit snowy. Ofcourse, the very traditional building was so sophisticated and beautiful, but even though it felt such high end (and it is!), we felt comfortable there. It was easy to relax, the Onsen are amazing and beautiful. Very kind staff as well, they spoke english. The food was exceptional as well. One of us was vegetarian, we let them know beforehand and it was no problem. Would recommend at least 2 night stays. The price for the value you get is exceptional.

The location was excellent - deep in the mountains of Gunma. I chose this onsen because I wanted to stay in a remote location off the beaten path. The ambiance of the inn is incredible, and the baths are exceptional. This inn felt like a functioning inn from the past - it is rustic, shows signs of wear, and was cold inside in winter due to lack of insulation. It felt like an authentic inn from the past. That said, these rustic qualities are not for everyone.
